According to confidential sources, President Afwerki held discussions with Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud @KingSalman to explore avenues for de-escalating strained relations between Eritrea and Ethiopia. The talks focused on reviving diplomatic efforts to stabilize the volatile situation in the Horn of Africa, with Afwerki emphasizing the need for Saudi Arabia’s intervention to facilitate dialogue with Ethiopian Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed. The leaders revisited the 2018 peace agreement, signed in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with mediation from the Kingdom and involvement from the United Arab Emirates. This historic accord, which earned Dr. Abiy the Nobel Peace Prize in 2019, formally ended two decades of hostility following the 1998-2000 Eritrean-Ethiopian War. However, recent developments, including border disputes and regional security concerns tied to the Tigray conflict, have strained the agreement’s implementation. Afwerki reportedly urged King Salman to leverage Saudi Arabia’s diplomatic influence to broker renewed talks, aiming to restore cooperation and address unresolved issues such as border demarcation and economic ties. The discussion also touched on broader regional dynamics, including the strategic interests of Saudi Arabia and the UAE in the Horn of Africa, particularly their roles in Red Sea security and countering regional instability. Saudi Arabia’s mediation is seen as critical due to its neutral stance and prior success in facilitating the 2018 agreement. Sources suggest that Afwerki’s outreach reflects Eritrea’s growing concern over its isolation in the region and the need for a diplomatic breakthrough to ease tensions with Ethiopia, which could have implications for stability across the Horn of Africa.
