Egypt has provided Somalia with its first military aid in more than four decades, a move that could exacerbate tensions between the two countries and Ethiopia. The move comes amid a rapprochement between Egypt and Somalia, as reported by three diplomatic and Somali government sources.
The establishment of relations between Egypt and Somalia took place after Ethiopia signed a preliminary agreement with the separatist Somaliland region on leasing coastal land in exchange for possible recognition of the region's independence from Somalia.
