"Egypt recently deepened its involvement in the war-weary Horn of Africa by
arming Somalia and deploying its troops in the embattled country. To Ethiopia’s
growing alarm, Egypt is also set to join the multinational force supporting the
Somali army against the jihadist threat by al-Shabaab. Egypt’s potentially
destabilising presence in the region is seen a direct consequence of Ethiopia’s
port agreement with breakaway Somaliland, which Somalia took as a direct
affront. Endalcachew Bayeh, a political scholar with a focus on the Horn of
Africa, sets out the risks and the path to de-escalation."
