The Voice of America published on 26 December 2024 an article titled "Eritrean, Somali Leaders Discuss Stability Amid Regional Tensions" by Mohamed Olad Hassan.
Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud met this week in Asmara with Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki. The two leaders reaffirmed the objectives laid out in the October Tripartite Summit between Eritrea, Somalia, and Egypt, aimed at enhancing cooperation and promoting regional stability.
There was growing concern in Eritrea that Somalia's Turkish-brokered agreement with Ethiopia had contradicted the Tripartite Summit results.
