World Politics Review posted on 9 April 2019 an analysis titled "Amid Revolutionary Change at Home, Ethiopia Is Remaking Its Middle East Ties" by Daniel Benaim, Center for American Progress.
The author argues that historically Ethiopia's foreign policy sought to guard its independence and warned against Arab entanglement. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is charting a different course, betting on his ability to partner effectively with and enlist the support of Gulf Arab states and even Egypt, one of Ethiopia's traditional adversaries.
