During the BRICS Summit I also had the opportunity to meet with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. A good opportunity to reconnect and discuss bilateral and regional issues.

Today, 13 October 2024, marks the culmination of a long journey toward the equitable and reasonable utilization of the waters of the Nile, with the entry into force of the Agreement on the Nile River Basin Framework (CFA).
This day will be remembered as a historic milestone in our collective efforts to foster genuine cooperation in the Nile Basin. The CFA’s entry into force strengthens our bond as a Nile family and ensures that the management and utilization of our shared water resources benefit all, for the good of all.
I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all state parties to the CFA for their unwavering commitment to advancing cooperation in our region. I also call upon the non-signatory states to join the Nile family, so that together we may achieve our shared goals of development and regional integration.
Egypt is joining the peacekeeping mission in Somalia because of its rivalry with Ethiopia, not because of a new-found desire to fight al-Shabaab. Such manipulation of a peacekeeping operation sets a bad precedent, and is surely not what the operation's international donors wish.
All the glory goes to Ethiopia ‼️

When the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of Somalia was formed in Nairobi, with Colonel Abdullahi Yusuf elected as President, significant challenges prevented it from entering Somalia. The threat posed by the Islamic Courts Union, which eventually became Al-Shabaab, made it impossible for the government to return to Mogadishu. If it were not for Ethiopia's intervention, Somalia might have remained without a functional government, as the Somali leadership was effectively in exile in Kenya. The Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) played a crucial role in enabling the Somali government to regain a foothold in its own country, providing security and training to the Somali army, which was composed of troops from the Darod, Hawiye, Digil, and Mirifle (Rahwen) clans.
Ethiopian forces have paid a high price, both in terms of lives lost and financial resources, to help stabilize Somalia. From Galcayo to Kismayo, Ethiopian soldiers sacrificed their lives to protect the Somali government and ensure the country did not fall back into the hands of extremist groups like Al-Shabaab. Despite these sacrifices, the current Somali administration appears to be overlooking the critical support Ethiopia has provided. Instead, they are lobbying for the withdrawal of Ethiopian forces and aligning with external powers that have historically been at odds with Ethiopia’s interests.
If Ethiopian forces were to withdraw from Somalia today, the consequences could be dire. Without the continued support of the ENDF and the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS), the fragile stability in Mogadishu and other regions could rapidly deteriorate, potentially allowing Al-Shabaab and other militant groups to regain control. The Somali government's alignment with external forces, coupled with calls for Ethiopian withdrawal, risks undoing the progress made in recent years and plunging the country back into chaos and insecurity.
One should ask What will happen if the Ethiopian Defense Forces leave Somalia?
Somaliland has a government, elections, army, courts, currency and passports. But whenever its borders are shown on maps, it’s with a tentative broken line.
