Egypt denies involvement in Ethiopia's internal affairs, says foreign minister

Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty firmly denied allegations that Cairo plays a role in Ethiopia's domestic troubles, upholding the nation's policy of non-interference. During an interview with Cairo News, Abdelatty emphasized that Egypt has no stake in Ethiopia's internal crises and that resolving such issues should remain a domestic matter, without assigning blame to external forces.

The minister affirmed that respecting the sovereignty of other nations' internal affairs is a cornerstone of Egyptian foreign policy, underscoring the commitment to this principle. Abdelatty dismissed the notion of attributing external causes to internal crises as both unfeasible and misguided, arguing that it does not contribute to achieving the desired stability.

He attributed recent Ethiopian statements to attempts to divert attention from the country's internal challenges, insisting that tackling these problems necessitates domestic solutions instead of holding other countries or entities accountable. Abdelatty's stance aligns with Egypt's consistent stance against interference in other nations' internal affairs and its adherence to international law and the United Nations Charter.
