News: #Cairo expands military presence in #Somalia over fears breakaway Somaliland could enable #Israeli-#Ethiopian axis – The national #Egypt has broadened its military mission in Somalia, prioritizing the protection of Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s government amid concerns that the breakaway region of #Somaliland could facilitate an Israeli-Ethiopian axis in the Horn of Africa, Abu Dhabi-based newspaper The National, citing its sources, reported. The report said Cairo’s expansion reflects fears that Israel’s recognition of Somaliland last month may give it a strategic foothold, potentially allowing coordination with Ethiopia, with which Egypt has long-standing disputes over #Nile waters. While some analysts downplay the risk of escalation, sources told The National that Egypt views Israeli and Ethiopian engagement in the Horn of Africa as a serious national security threat, particularly regarding the Nile and strategic maritime routes.

#Opinion: Encircled and Exposed: #Berbera as #Ethiopia’s last strategic exit Ethiopia’s status as the Horn’s stabilizer has eroded, leaving the nation “constrained, exposed, and increasingly boxed in” by unfriendly neighbors, writes Mohamed Guleid. He cautions that #Djibouti, Ethiopia’s maritime lifeline, has compromised its neutrality by agreeing to host an #Egyptian military presence, while #Eritrea and #Somalia align with #Cairo over the #Nile dispute. Allowing adversaries to shadow its main supply route crosses a “strategic red line.” For a nation of 120 million, “diversification is no longer a luxury.” Guleid argues the solution lies in Somaliland, highlighting that the Berbera Port and its corridor are operational but underused. He notes, “Recognition of Somaliland would change Ethiopia’s position overnight,” expanding sea access, easing pressure, and restoring strategic leverage. https://addisstandard.com/?p=54982

Каир — город, где сплелись века 🌆✨ От шумных базаров Хан эль-Халиль до величественных минаретов мечети Мухаммеда Али — Каир всегда был "жемчужиной Востока". В XIX веке его называли "Парижем Нила" — Хедив Исмаил застраивал его широкими бульварами и дворцами, мечтая превратить в блистательную столицу. Но Каир — это не только арабский мир. После революции 1917 года сюда хлынули русские эмигранты: художники, писатели, аристократы. Знаменитый иллюстратор Иван Билибин провёл здесь годы, вдохновляясь восточными мотивами. В каирских кафе звучала русская речь, а в православных храмах Александрии молились белоэмигранты. Сейчас Каир — это хаотичный, пёстрый, дышащий историей мегаполис. Где ещё увидишь, как среди пробок гарцуют лошади и ослики, а закат золотит и древние пирамиды, и бетонные высотки? Это город, который никогда не спит — от криков муэдзинов на рассвете до ночных огней набережной Замалек. Каир не идеален, но в этом его магия. 💫 #Каир#Египет#История#Путешествия #Egypt#Egyptian#art#artist#city#downtown#cairo
