US Rejects Anti-Ethiopian Alliance Claims After Cairo Talks
A senior adviser to US President Donald Trump has rejected claims that Washington is helping to build an “anti-Ethiopian alliance” in the Horn of Africa. The statement followed scrutiny of Massad Boulos’s recent talks in Cairo with the foreign ministers of Somalia, Egypt and Eritrea. Boulos, the US senior adviser for Arab and African affairs, said “false and misleading reports” had mischaracterised Washington’s regional diplomacy. Writing on X, Boulos called the narrative inaccurate and needlessly inflammatory. He added that the United States works with Ethiopia and all countries across the Horn of Africa and the wider Red Sea region to advance shared priorities. Why it matters for Somali readers: With Somalia’s foreign minister among those who held talks with Boulos in Cairo, Washington’s clarification helps explain the diplomatic engagement and may reduce interpretations that could inflame regional tensions.
