Halima: Four-Nation Statement Reflects Regional Coordination Amid Escalation in Ethiopia

Former Assistant Foreign Minister Salah Halima said a joint statement by Egypt, Sudan, Somalia and Eritrea reflected coordination among the four countries amid escalating conditions in Ethiopia.

Commenting on the statement, Halima stressed that the four states are linked by joint defence and cooperation agreements.

His remarks placed those agreements at the centre of his assessment of the statement, highlighting the existing ties among the countries behind it.

Halima framed the four-nation position as a sign of regional coordination at a time of heightened tensions surrounding Ethiopia.
