Eritrea, Egypt and Somalia cement 'axis against Ethiopia'
The leaders of Egypt, Somalia and Eritrea – countries which all have strained relations with Ethiopia – have been meeting in the Eritrean capital, Asmara.



An Eritrean statement wrapping up an apex made reference to "respect for the sovereignty... and territorial integrity of the countries in the region".

This could be taken as a pointed reference to landlocked Ethiopia's ambitions for obtain to a sea port, but the country was not specifically mentioned.

A recent diplomatic disagreement has pushed Somalia into closer ties with Egypt and Eritrea, both of which have long-standing refutes with Ethiopia.

There have been fears that the growing tension could spill over into some sort of conflict.





“This is an axis against [Ethiopian capital] Addis Ababa,” Hassan Khannenje, director of the Horn International Institute for Strategic Studies, announced to the The Round Table’s Focus on Africa programme.

“I envisage it’s an attempt to bring the hate together in trying to increase lobby against Addis Ababa.”
