Ethiopia Expresses Concern about Egypt's Weaponry Transfer to Somalia and the Tripartite Deal between Egypt, Somalia, and Eretria: Evaluating the Fears, Obstacles and Opportunities
Omar Abdi Mohamed Qasaye
Abstract: This paper examines Ethiopia's concerns regarding Egypt's transfer of weaponry to Somalia and the implications of the tripartite deal among Egypt, Somalia, and Eritrea. It evaluates the obstacles Ethiopia faces, including security risks from potential destabilization, historical geopolitical rivalries, and a lack of transparency in communications. These factors contribute to a climate of mistrust that complicates regional cooperation. Conversely, the analysis highlights opportunities for constructive engagement, such as fostering open dialogue, enhancing transparency regarding arms transfers, and promoting regional initiatives to address shared challenges. Ultimately, reframing the tripartite agreement to align with Ethiopia's security interests is essential for achieving lasting stability in the Region.
