Foreign Policy published on 25 September 2024 an article titled "Somalia-Ethiopia Tensions Mount" by Nosmot Gbadamosi.
The transfer of arms from Egypt to Somalia followed by a shipment of arms from Ethiopia to Puntland have further inflamed tension in the region. Somalia has also asked the African Union to replace Ethiopian peacekeepers in the country with 5,000 Egyptian peacekeepers. The assignment of Egyptian peacekeepers near the border with Ethiopia would further inflame the situation.
