Egypt urges dialogue amid violence in Ethiopia
The leaders rejected foreign interference and backed peaceful solutions as federal forces retook Mekelle and the TPLF’s attacks widened regional fears.
- On Sunday, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki, Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, and Chairman of Sudan's Transitional Sovereignty Council Gen. Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan convened in New Alamein City, Egypt, for a Quadrilateral Consultative Summit on Horn of Africa security.
- The joint declaration pushed back against Ethiopian policies, demonstrating widening rifts between Addis Ababa and its neighbors over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and what they called 'unilateral measures' affecting downstream Nile water uses.
- Addressing regional conflicts, the four leaders categorically rejected foreign recognition for 'Somaliland,' insisted on the 'no harm' principle regarding the Nile, and affirmed Somalia's territorial integrity while calling for predictable funding for AUSSOM.
- Meanwhile, Ethiopian federal forces retook Mekelle on Sunday after the Tigray People's Liberation Front said it 'temporarily moved out of' the regional capital to 'operate from somewhere else,' escalating the conflict.
- El-Sisi urged 'dialogue, not confrontation' as concerns grow about cross-border violence, yet Ethiopia has accused Eritrea, Sudan, and Egypt of backing rebels—allegations all three nations deny.
