Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki met with Sudanese ministers this week to strengthen regional cooperation, as Red Sea stability takes center stage in 2026. The talks focused on security coordination and economic partnerships amid shifting geopolitics in the Horn of Africa. 💼⚖️
With Ethiopia seeking expanded maritime access, Afwerki has been actively engaging coastal nations like Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Sudan’s delegation praised Eritrea’s support for citizens displaced by conflict since April 2023, while both sides pledged to address shared challenges like cross-border security and trade. 🌍🔒
Sudan’s state media highlighted fee exemptions and freedom of movement for its nationals in Eritrea – a gesture reciprocated as both nations navigate post-pandemic recovery. Analysts say this collaboration could reshape energy and shipping dynamics in one of the world’s busiest maritime corridors. 🚢💡
