Egypt Opposes Forceful Horn Maritime Access
Egypt strongly opposes any unilateral moves by Ethiopia to assert maritime access by force in the Horn of Africa region, especially in light of its disputes over the Renaissance Dam and its water rights. During a phone call between the Egyptian Foreign Minister and the US President's Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs, Egypt emphasized the importance of adhering to international law and respecting the sovereignty of states, warning against any attempts to impose maritime access through force, which could lead to regional instability. These statements come amid increasing tensions between Cairo and Addis Ababa, the latter seeking access to the Red Sea, with Ethiopian-U.S. efforts to support defense cooperation. Egypt reaffirmed that solutions should be based on negotiations and regional and international coordination to maintain regional security, stressing that any attempts to challenge maritime sovereignty will be met with a firm stance.
