Egyptian President Vows to Protect Somalia from Threats

Egyptian President Sissi declared that Egypt will not tolerate threats to Somalia, following Ethiopia's announcement of a controversial deal with Somaliland. The deal, which includes a port lease and access to the sea, has sparked anger from Somalia, with President Mohamud calling it an "act of aggression." Sissi criticized Ethiopia for its dealings with the breakaway region and reiterated Egypt's stance on not allowing any infringement upon Somalia's territory. This adds to the existing tensions between Egypt and Ethiopia over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, with Egypt labeling Ethiopia as a "source of instability in the region."
