Regional Spillover Fears: Fighting in northern Ethiopia is intensifying around towns like Alamata, with Addis Ababa accusing Eritrea, Sudan and Egypt of backing armed groups—fueling worries the conflict could spread across the Horn. Djibouti Logistics at Stake: With Ethiopia still heavily dependent on the Djibouti corridor, Bab el-Mandeb instability is directly affecting Ethiopia’s supply chain costs and planning.
