Egypt and Ethiopia expel diplomats in tit-for-tat row
Original: Egypt and Ethiopia expel diplomats in tit-for-tat diplomatic row
Egypt and Ethiopia have each ordered diplomats from the other country to leave, in a reciprocal move that marks a sharp deterioration in relations between the two Nile basin states. The expulsions deepen an already tense standoff, long strained by Ethiopia's Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and disputes over Nile water security. Details about which diplomats were targeted and the stated reasons have not been made fully public.
Why now: The tit-for-tat expulsions signal a rare open breakdown in relations between two strategically important Horn of Africa and Arab states.
