Why did Egypt-Somali alliance spark an alarm in Ethiopia? BBC Africa

A military alliance between Somalia and Egypt is ruffling feathers in the fragile Horn of Africa, upsetting Ethiopia in particular - and there are worries the fallout could become more than a war of words. In this video, BBC Africa’s Esther Kahumbi explains the context behind the current tensions and what has led to this point.

We Somalis don't want or need war but we are against a regional threat.
Ethiopia a country in civil war with 900, 000 people dead in civil unrest since 2018.
Ethiopia is the agressor. We have the right to defend ourserlves.

Egypt was doing the same thing for many years with Sudan. The only new thing is that, Egypt is changing its front from north to the east.

Ethiopia should stop daydreaming and deal with Federal government of Somalia instead of states who are not able to sign deals. ⚔️🇸🇴⚔️

How dare Egypt tries to tell another country what they can and cant do with their own water.

[MohamedAhmed-rxym]

Ethiopia is responsible current crisis by demanding naval base in Somali territory yet presenting itself as victim. Ethiopia should think x20 times before embarking dangerous policy with serious consequences for the region. It an open secret Ethiopia support for Al-Shabab to maintain influence in Somalia.
Hopefully Egypt will be more serious partner for Somalia against Al-shabaab.. For peace to prevail in the region Ethiopia must withdraw from Somalia in orderly fashion, respect Somali sovereignty and refrain interference for its internal affairs..

[Tridant]

I hope Egypt hasn't forgotten who's Ethiopia.

[BelachewGoa]

Their engagement is not this much our headache. Because of we knew who are they.

Egypt Government he must not forget Ethiopian history
