Egypt and Ethiopia have expelled diplomats from each other's embassies, escalating tensions. This follows discussions at the Alamein-Africa Forum.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is set to inaugurate the Alamein-Africa Forum, an event focused on regional cooperation and development. Concurrently, diplomatic tensions between Egypt and Ethiopia have surfaced, with Ethiopia declaring an Egyptian diplomat persona non grata and ordering his departure. Egypt responded in kind, expelling an Ethiopian embassy counselor.
The forum's inauguration occurs against a backdrop of strained bilateral relations, particularly concerning the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. The tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions underscore the existing friction between Cairo and Addis Ababa, complicating broader regional dialogues and economic partnerships.
