FROM ETHIOPIA TO EGYPT, FROM ALLIES TO ADVERSARIES @HassanSMohamud @AbiyAhmedAli

According to a report by Reuters, Eritrean troops have entered #Ethiopia, with soldiers spotted on Wednesday in the town of Adigrat in the Tigray region, located near the shared border. Two local residents told Reuters they witnessed two military trucks carrying dozens of soldiers, whom they identified by their Eritrean military uniforms. Adigrat lies approximately 25 kilometers south of the #Eritrea's border. This military movement occurs as relations between Ethiopia and Eritrea hit their lowest point in recent years. Ethiopia recently shuttered its embassy in Asmara and expelled Eritrean diplomats, while Eritrea responded by announcing a complete severance of diplomatic relations with Addis Ababa.

Member of #Somalia's parliament Dahir Jesow has delivered a scathing critique of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, citing widespread armed conflict across Somalia, local clans signing pacts with Al-Shabaab and accusing the federal government of destabilizing internal security while engaging in reckless regional diplomacy. "I have never seen Somalia as divided as it is today; there is not a single region in the country where gunfire is not echoing. Fighting is currently ongoing in Baidoa, you are all aware of what is unfolding in Hiiraan, some clans have aligned with the Al-Shabaab terrorist group, and others have brought in armed drones. I say to the term-expired President Hassan Sheikh: show mercy to the country and cease working toward its division. Last week, Hassan Sheikh was in Addis Ababa, and this week he was conferring with a four-nation coalition plotting against Ethiopia. This is not sound politics, nor does it serve any interest for Somalia." Stated MP Dahir Jeesow

The representative of the Republic of Somaliland to Israel has dismissed regional opposition to Hargeisa’s sovereign recognition, framing the growing alliance between #Somaliland and #Israel as a transformative force for Red Sea security and economic development. In an official address evaluating the progression of bilateral relations since Israel's formal recognition of the Republic of Somaliland in late 2025, Ambassador Dr. Mohamed Hagi reaffirmed that "Great things will be achieved across all fronts, advancing prosperity, security, and regional stability." "I am not surprised that our adversaries oppose Somaliland’s recognition; they understand the strategic potential of a Somaliland–Israel partnership in the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea, combining Somaliland’s natural resources and strategic position with Israeli expertise and technology. Great things will be achieved across all fronts, advancing prosperity, security, and regional stability." stated @AmbMohamedHagi

The high-level delegation included senior leadership from the Ministry of Employment, Social Affairs and Family, the HIV/AIDS Control Commission, the Somaliland Quality Control Commission, and the Commander of the Environmental Protection Force (EPF), who also acts as the official Somaliland Police Force spokesperson. The outreach campaign focused on educating the local community on the critical importance of environmental conservation, combating deforestation and illegal charcoal production, and safeguarding national natural resources.

A high-level delegation of Israeli corporate executives and infrastructure developers has completed an exploratory trade mission to #Somaliland, marking a concrete deepening of bilateral economic cooperation between the two nations following #Israel’s formal recognition of Somaliland. According to a report published by Israeli journalist Yehoshua Meiri, sources familiar with the matter confirmed that representatives from several prominent Israeli commercial entities, including infrastructure giant Shikun & Binui, visited the capital city of Hargeisa and coastal logistics corridors to evaluate development opportunities across the infrastructure, construction, transportation, and urban development sectors. During the exploratory visit, the Israeli corporate delegates reportedly met with Somaliland government officials and local business leaders to assess national infrastructure priorities. Situated along the Gulf of Aden near strategic Red Sea shipping lanes, the Republic of #Somaliland is actively seeking to attract foreign investment and advance project developments across ports, roads, water, and energy sectors. While no signed agreements or financial estimates for the prospective ventures have been publicly disclosed, economic analysts view the delegation's site visit as a critical shift from diplomatic alignment to practical involvement in the nation's infrastructure development.

The Ethiopian News Agency (ENA) published a strongly worded article accusing the term-expired President of Somalia, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, of joining a regional coalition that Addis Ababa views as an attempt to restrict #Ethiopia's strategic interests. The article addresses the October 4, 2026 summit held in New El-Alamein by the leaders of #Egypt, #Somalia, #Eritrea, and #Sudan, who issued a joint communique covering Red Sea security, the Nile waters, and the geopolitical landscape of the Horn of Africa. The primary driver of ENA’s sharp rebuke is the four-nation consensus regarding the Nile River and the Red Sea. The El-Alamein declaration asserted that river-basin states must engage in prior notification, consultation, and formal agreement before initiating projects that could impact other nations, while rejecting any unilateral actions that prejudice downstream water rights. ENA interpreted this provision as a Egyptian-led effort to secure veto power over developmental projects in Ethiopia and other upper-riparian Nile states.

#Kenya has confirmed its first death from Ebola after a Kenyan national residing in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for 7 years succumbed to the virus in Nairobi. Health Minister Aden Duale announced that the patient, who fell ill a month ago and was treated in several DRC hospitals, traveled by road through Kampala, Uganda, before flying to Nairobi on Saturday where he underwent normal public screening at the main airport in Nairobi before he was transferred to a hospital. Laboratory tests confirmed the patient contracted the Bundibugyo strain of the Ebola virus, a relatively rare and highly infectious species with no currently approved vaccines or specific treatments. The patient later confirmed dead on Monday and his burial is scheduled to be held today in line with public health safety protocols. The ongoing outbreak originating in the DRC has become the second-deadliest in recorded history, causing 4,082 deaths out of 8,463 confirmed cases, according to World Health Organization metrics. Kenyan public health authorities have initiated immediate containment protocols, identifying at least 28 close contacts, including family members and attending healthcare workers, and confirmed that they are currently underway to locate an additional 23 passengers and four flight crew members who traveled on the same aircraft.

Israeli newspaper Haaretz reportedly published details regarding a 'secret Dubai summit' involving Prime Minister of #Israel, @netanyahu and representatives from 10 other countries. According to the report, discussions centered on an oil corridor extending from the Persian Gulf through Eilat to the Mediterranean Sea, joint security bases established in Socotra and #Somaliland, financial support for Egypt to offset declining Suez Canal revenues, and immigration plan involving Libya. Furthermore, the report states that a 'secret document' was reportedly drafted for what is framed as the "Abraham Alliance", a proposed security architecture structured to be the Middle East version of NATO.
