US Horn of Africa Envoy Leaving Post

 Reuters published on 5 January 2022 an article titled "U.S. Special Envoy for Horn of Africa to Leave Post" by Humeyra Pamuk.

U.S. Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa, Jeffrey Feltman, is stepping down this month after 9 months in the position and will be replaced by David Satterfield, the outgoing U.S. ambassador to Turkey.  Feltman took the position with the intention to serve for less than a year.  He has faced twin crises in Ethiopia and Sudan.  Satterfield, a career Foreign Service Officer, has significant Middle East experience, but not in the Horn of Africa.
