The State Department’s announcement that the United States will designate the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization is long overdue and welcome news. Under the Muslim Brotherhood, Sudan became a dangerous hub of Islamist extremism and transnational terrorist networks. In the 1980s and 1990s, Khartoum openly hosted Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Abu Nidal, and Al-Qaeda.

From 1991 to 1996, Osama bin Laden operated a major and well-protected terrorist base in Sudan under the Islamist regime, building businesses, training camps, and militant networks that later spread across the region. In 1997, Hamas founder Ahmed Yassin was welcomed to Sudan, granted land and offices, and celebrated as a hero of the violent anti-Israel struggle. Sudan facilitated militant training, financing, and operations, including Abu Nidal’s deadly attacks and the networks behind the devastating 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam.

Iran’s ties to Sudanese Islamists go back decades. Tehran supplied advanced weapons, military training, intelligence support, and helped build Sudan’s strategic military-industrial base. Khartoum became a critical bridge between Sunni and Shi’a Islamist movements, enabling dangerous coordination and joint operations. Today, Tehran is exploiting Sudan’s brutal civil warand the vulnerabilities of Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan’s Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF)—heavily influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood—to build a strategic proxy presence on the Red Sea, mirroring its success with the Houthis in Yemen.

Al-Burhan has tried to distance himself from the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran, seeking desperately needed support from the United States and Europe. Yet his career was built within the Brotherhood-aligned National Islamic Front/National Congress Party, and the SAF’s senior ranks remain deeply entrenched within the Islamist elite. He has rehabilitated hardline Islamist figures while sidelining secular rivals.

The Eritrean dictator, Isaias Afwerki—one of Tehran’s closest and most loyal non-Arab partners—has also backed the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan. Today, Ali Karti, secretary-general of the Sudanese Islamic Movement (SIM), the powerful local branch of the transnational Muslim Brotherhood, is in Eritrea. despite the Brotherhood having carried out numerous terrorist attacks in Eritrea in the mid-1990s, killing many civilians and soldiers.

Designating the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization will seriously weaken this dangerous network, curb violent radicalization, and help end the ongoing genocide and catastrophic violence in Sudan, as well as the export of terrorism across the region. It will strengthen long-term peace and stability in the Red Sea region—and it will be very bad news for the Eritrean dictator and his ally, Iran.

Khamenei, who killed, murdered, and brought Iran into destruction, has now been eliminated by Israel—just on the eve of Purim.

[Habtom Ghebrezghiabher @GHabtom]

This is @realDonaldTrump most consequential & right decision in addressing the Iranian regime — a regime not only oppressing the Iranian people and threatening Israel and the United States, but also the main destabilizer across the Middle East, Horn of Africa, Red Sea & beyond.

It backs the Houthi terrorist group in Yemen, cooperates with the brutal Eritrean dictator who supports SAF Islamists in Sudan and destabilizes Ethiopia through armed militias, and backs Al-Shabaab in Somalia.

The removal of the Iranian regime would significantly contribute to the well-being and future prosperity of the Iranian people, while strengthening regional peace, security, and stability. @netanyahu

[Habtom Ghebrezghiabher @GHabtom]

Saudi Arabia is set on strategic confrontation with the UAE and Israel.

🇾🇪 Yemen: it backs Islamist factions and attacks the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC), directly benefiting the Houthis.

🇸🇴 Somaliland: It supports Somalia following Israeli recognition, pressuring Ethiopia alongside Turkey not to recognize Somaliland.

🇸🇩 Sudan: it backs SAF forces linked to Muslim Brotherhood networks, committing genocide, aligning with Iran, Turkey, and the Eritrean regime — despite the UAE’s strong opposition to Islamist forces retaking power.

🇸🇾 Syria & 🇵🇸 Gaza/Palestine: aligning with Turkey in Syria and pressing for Palestinian statehood as a core condition to counter normalization incentives.

Deepening defense cooperation with 🇹🇷 Turkey and 🇵🇰 Pakistan, while constraining U.S. military strikes against the Iranian regime.

Houthis threaten escalation in the Red Sea if Iran is targeted https://t.co/ndtM58rLhb via @middleeastmnt

[Habtom Ghebrezghiabher @GHabtom]

The Houthis are not a “remote” threat. They are an active security risk on Israel’s borders, operating through Iranian-backed regional proxies. Israel must think strategically—Eritrea and the Tigrinya nations offer military capability, shared interests, and geographic proximity that matter in neutralizing the Houthi threat. https://t.co/GIAH3y1GZY

[Habtom Ghebrezghiabher @GHabtom]

The piece at @ForeignPolicy reads less like analysis & more like Muslim Brotherhood propaganda disguised as policy advice. By fixating on the RSF & Ethiopia while whitewashing the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) & its Islamist patrons, the author @_hudsonc shields the very networks that have driven mass atrocities & genocide in Sudan for decades.

The SAF is not a neutral national army. It is a Muslim Brotherhood–dominated military apparatus, sustained by Egypt, the Eritrean dictator, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, & Qatar, all of which provide weapons, logistics, intelligence, & diplomatic cover. Calling to designate the RSF as a terrorist organization while refusing to apply the same standard to the SAF is not counterterrorism—it is Islamist appeasement by omission.

The op-ed’s treatment of the UAE is particularly dishonest. The UAE is not backing factions out of opportunism; it has consistently confronted the Muslim Brotherhood across the region, not only in Sudan but elsewhere, precisely because it understands the Brotherhood’s structure, methods, & genocidal record. Ignoring this context while portraying the UAE as a primary destabilizer deliberately obscures the ideological nature of the conflict.

Targeting Ethiopia is equally reckless. Ethiopia is already under severe strain from armed militias such as Fano factions, TPLF remnants, and the OLA, many of them armed, trained, or enabled by the anti-U.S & Israel Eritrean dictator, while U.S. aid cuts are accelerating instability and pushing @PMEthiopia toward Chinese & Russian influence.

Considering the United States has already exerted significant pressure on Ethiopia through financial, diplomatic, & aid-related levers, Washington today has little real leverage left—contrary to what the piece suggests. Pushing harder will not stabilize Ethiopia or Sudan; it will further weaken Ethiopia & accelerate the very regional instability the author claims to oppose.

Sudan’s war did not “risk becoming” a proxy conflict—it has long been one, dominated by Islamist military elites and their regional backers. Pretending otherwise launders responsibility and shows contempt for the suffering of Sudanese civilians and Ethiopians alike.

This is not balanced policy analysis. It is selective moralism in service of the return of Islamist-authoritarianism in Sudan.

The Turkish Ambassador enjoys Eritrea’s beautiful landscape.
So why has the Eritrean dictator refused to accept Israel’s ambassador’s credentials since 2020—yet welcomes Turkey’s?
@IsraeliPM @Israel

[Habtom Ghebrezghiabher @GHabtom]

Ambassador @dannydanon is right to call out the Houthis’ flag for what it is: a public declaration of genocidal antisemitism. For the #Houthis & many Islamist militias, as well as some Arab & Muslim states—antisemitism & anti-Israel rhetoric is the easiest & most effective tools for gaining legitimacy. The Houthis did not invent this logic, but they have taken it to its extreme by actively attacking Israel. Turkey, Saudi Arabia, & Egypt regularly weaponize anti-Israel rhetoric to strengthen domestic & regional legitimacy, even while maintaining quiet strategic ties with Israel or the West. @netanyahu @YinonMagal @IsraeliPM

[Habtom Ghebrezghiabher @GHabtom]

Normalization? No. Saudi Arabia is openly hostile to Israel: increasingly allying with Türkiye in Somalia, Gaza, Syria, & Iran, while expelling the UAE from Yemen, empowering the Houthis, & working to restore Muslim Brotherhood authoritarian rule in Sudan, including warning Ethiopia. https://t.co/9NDusPNKWS

[Habtom Ghebrezghiabher @GHabtom]

Israel’s recognition of Somaliland is a key step in securing the Red Sea and Horn of Africa. Eritrea, a stable Tigrinya nation-state, could anchor a durable alliance, safeguard trade routes, and counter rival powers. The latest op‑ed explains why Israel can’t wait. https://t.co/2FZfhV9rUA
@SLNTV @somalilandmfa

[Habtom Ghebrezghiabher @GHabtom]

By giving @RTErdogan an extraordinary presidential reception, @AbiyAhmedAli signals that Turkey’s leverage in Ethiopia is substantial — defense MOUs, regional mediation with Somalia, & a clear message: Ethiopia should not recognize Somaliland’s independence.

[Habtom Ghebrezghiabher @GHabtom]

Following @RTErdogan extraordinary presidential reception in Ethiopia, the contrast is striking as @Isaac_Herzog prepares for his visit. Turkey has pursued long-term strategic partnerships — visible in its investments across Ethiopia, Somalia, & Sudan. Israel is transactional & lacks sustained regional investment. It’s time for Israel to build a long-term strategic partnership in the Horn of Africa & the Red Sea. https://t.co/L90DtYSajq via @timesofisrael

[Habtom Ghebrezghiabher @GHabtom]

There is no evidence of an imminent Eritrea–Ethiopia war. Ethiopia has neither the interest nor the capability to open a war with Eritrea while fighting internal armed groups — the TPLF in Tigray, the Fano in Amhara, and the OLA in Oromia, all backed by the Eritrean dictator, with its economy devastated and its society fragmented. This is just another false war alarm narrative.

[Habtom Ghebrezghiabher @GHabtom]

The comparison cannot be straightforward. The UAE firmly opposes Al-Qaeda & the Houthis in Yemen, as well as the Muslim Brotherhood-aligned SAF in Sudan, whereas Saudi Arabia tolerates the Houthis in Yemen while backing the SAF in Sudan. @UAEmediaoffice

[Habtom Ghebrezghiabher @GHabtom]

The Saudi-UAE rivalry and Saudi’s sidelining of the UAE in Yemen will only benefit the Houthis, the Eritrean dictator, Iran, & Al-Shabab. https://t.co/4XmUQpByjc

[Habtom Ghebrezghiabher @GHabtom]

The Iranian people deserve freedom, prosperity, and justice. Trump’s threats only empower the Ayatollahs, who will label protests as CIA- and Mossad-orchestrated—and crush the protesters. https://t.co/SNiTCkahql
