The leaders of Eritrea, Egypt and Somalia met for a three-way summit in Asmara this Thursday, aiming to deepen ties with each other and counter Ethiopia’s efforts to project influence in the Horn of Africa.
The main point of tension was a memorandum of understanding signed in January between Ethiopia and Somaliland, an internationally unrecognized breakaway province of Somalia, to allow Addis-Ababa to access the Red Sea through Somalilander port infrastructures. Somalia then sought to strengthen ties with other countries in the region, signing military deals with Egypt, itself at odds with Ethiopia over the management of the water rights on the river Nile.

When I lived and worked in the Big City, I had friend ships and work relations with people from Ethiopia, Eritrea and Egypt. And Cambodia, Vietnam, China Hong Kong and the Philippines.
The people do not support this and would ask which people are getting rich over this development.
