Ethiopia is reportedly planning to withdraw its troops from Somalia as internal conflict intensifies. This potential move comes amid regional tensions, with Sudan's army rejecting Ethiopian claims of backing an armed opposition coalition.

The planned withdrawal could significantly strain Somalia's security, particularly as it grapples with its own internal challenges. The broader regional implications are considerable, with neighboring countries seeking to manage the fallout from Ethiopia's domestic strife and its impact on regional stability.
