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.

  1. Today's Ethiopia is not the same like 1970s weak Ethiopia, I think Egyptians and somalians have not understood, so even not these countries to defeat us, world supper power can not defeat Ethiopia this time especially, bcs 1. Ethio PM is a master of war leader due to participating in different wars in his young age, so he knows how to defeat enemies easily and not only that also he has expirenced intellegency security
    2. the pm knows what weapon to use to destory the enemies easily.
    3. the recent Ethiopia troops numbers are unexpected number means a lot, that joined during Tigray wars
    4. Ethio recent time bought moderen war weapons only have supper powers due to Nile tensions
    5. ethiopians have commitment and dedications to attack invader that came from ancessters

  2. Ethiopia 🇪🇹 is indeed the source of the Blue Nile, one of the two major tributaries of the Nile River, the longest river in the world. The Blue Nile originates from Lake Tana, the largest lake in Ethiopia, situated in the northwestern highlands. From Lake Tana,

  4. Egypt they better think 10 times before attacking Ethiopia we know Egypt has better war machine blah blah,don’t care that just scare tactic we Ethiopan know how to defend your country if u don’t know go back and read history but if they decided to go to war against us they going to lose war + Nile river entirely.

  5. Somaliland and Ethiopia together will kick Egypt from the region. Somalia is a body with no sole. The sole of somalia was Somaliland. Since Somaliland left from Somalia, Somalia is a name, but there is no a functioning government where Somaliland is a fully democratic country. Finally somalia is jealous from Somaliland. Somaliland is getting world wide recognition very soon because they work for it and somalia will live with jealousy and enmity for ever. Victory for Somaliland for ever.

  6. ITS WAR OF SOOMAALI TRIBES…DAROOD,RAHANWEYNE AMD DIR ARE ON ETHIOPIA SIDE, WHICH LEAVES EGYPT WITH ONLY ONE TRIBE( THE MOST, UNEDUCATED, UNCIVILIZED TRIBE) LETS DO THIS

  7. EGYPT HAS ITS CALCULATIONS WRONG BUT AL HAMDULILAH THAT THEY GOT IT WRONG.. ARMING HAWIYA ONE OF THE MOST BACKWARD TRIBES IN SOOMAALI WHOM HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GOVERN FOR 32 PLUS AGAIN AND COULDNT.

    THATS YOUR PICK ON THIS WAR😂? OK WE DAROOD AND RAHANWEYN ARE ON ETHIOPIA SIDE,LETS DO THIS

  8. somalia and egypt made great deal. ethiopia is crimnal nation to surround nation and to its own people. ethiopia must learn to respect and be diplomat. force wont be accepted.

  9. Ethiopia thinks it can violate the sovereignty Eritrea or Somalia to get access to water. But ironically it cries when Egypt befriends its underdog nghbours. Ethiopia is acting like a high school bully.

  10. You are nothing without the Ethiopian soldiers. Thousands of Ethiopian soldiers protect the country from al-Shabaab. Do you want to brag about Ethiopians with a country's army that is enough for one Ethiopian militia? It would be better if you and the Egyptians rested. We, the Ethiopians, are a people who have been made not to be divided. It is our right to have the Red Sea. No one can stop us. You can't protect us with a salty water while using our pure waters. Don't forget that if we want, we can limit the water that flows to you, then you will throw away the salt water.

  11. ​LAND IS FOR GOD poeple can shar and live together without ethnicity

    thats why they are killing amhara and tigray living in oromo region

    aby ahmed is removing all symbol and architicture for the old emperors menilik selassi in piassa

    aby destroyed ecomy no job everything expensive 1 dollar 130bir

    during meles government very good economy 1 dollar 20 birr

    everything sheaper 1birr u can take bus or buy bread

  12. extremely poor and immature journalism! Where are the voices of Somali Land and Ethiopia? You are simply trying to captivate the audience. Nothing important in your riport.

  13. It is travesty of Justice to keep over 120 million people landlocked and try to stop developing their own river on their own land.
    Ethiopia, the beacon of freedom and pride of Africa deserves access to a sea and thus nations across the world should support this initiative.

  14. somaliland is regional stete of somalia, no one can’t deal with as a country, ethopia if can’t respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity, Somalia has way to deal with Amhara, tigray and even if ethopia walk this roughly road, Somalia will recognize tigray and amhara as separate state from rest of ethiopia.

  15. Sorry translation Ethiopia language Egypt it was ዛሬም ጥንትም የኢትዮጵያ ዋና ጠላት ግብጽ ሻዕቢያ እና ጁንታ ናቸው ተወደደም ተጠላ የእኛ ዋና ጠላት ግብጽ ናት ። የተቀረው ተላኪኪ ባንዳ በቅርቡ ቀን ዋጋ ይገኛል ድል ለጀግና የመከላከያ ስራዊታችን

  16. Egypt should be concerned about Gaza,Libya and Sudan before poking it's nose where it doesn't belong.
    Ethiopia has a legitimate right for access to the sea and Somaliland has a legitimate right/case for independence.

  17. We know the Egyptians very well, they also know us verywell. They can do nothing. I have an advice for them it's better for them to negotiate with Ethiopia peacefully, if not we have the right even to make a dam using our own tributary rivers to the Nile and this will be the worst.

  18. Ethopia is the aggressor they want a sea that didn't belong to them because they are landlock country,they have to followed the International rules that land lock countries settled,you grab a land or sea that doesn't belong to you by force then go ahead and see what you get,ethopia has stolen land from somalia long time ago and now they want more,let see if they can do that.

  19. Egpt 🇪🇬 has rlyed on Eth1opia 🇪🇹 for wat3r from the Ab@y (N!le) for centur!es, b@sic@lly for fre3. But, the gr@titude doesn’t seem 2 b there 😶. Maybe it’s t1me for Eth1opia to start ch@rging for wat3r, like o!l.
