"UN Urges Dialogue to Resolve Ethiopia-Somalia Dispute as Egypt Vows to Protect Somalia from Threats"

Egyptian President el-Sissi declared that Egypt will not tolerate threats to Somalia and criticized Ethiopia's deal with Somaliland, which Somalia considers an act of aggression. The controversial agreement would grant Ethiopia access to a port in exchange for recognizing Somaliland's independence claims. This comes amid longstanding tensions between Egypt and Ethiopia over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, with Egypt accusing Ethiopia of being a source of instability in the region.
