Ethiopia warned of consequences should South Sudan allow Egypt to have a base in the country. Ethiopian Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed has urged South Sudan President Salva Kiir Mayardit to stay out of its dispute with Egypt over the construction of Ethiopia’s multi-billion dam.

This comes days after unnamed senior government officials in Juba said the world’s youngest nation had agreed to a request by the Egyptian government for a military near Pagak, a town in the east of the country that borders Ethiopia.

Speaking to Media news this afternoon, a senior foreign ministry official in Addis Ababa said the government of Ethiopia has written to the government of South Sudan through its embassy in Addis Ababa and warned of consequences should it allow Egypt to have a base in the country.

“The government has written to President Salva Kiir of South Sudan through the embassy here in Addis [Ababa] and has made it very clear that South Sudan will face consequences should the news that is ongoing for an Egyptian military base are to be true,” the official said on condition of anonymity.

The government official said the Ethiopian premier has urged Kiir in the letter to stay out of the dispute between Egypt and Ethiopia over the dam saying “this is what we have to tell our South Sudanese brothers that let them stay out of the game.”

South Sudan however had issued a statement denying the reports saying there was no intention to do so and the country will not allow foreign troops to use it as a launching pad for attacks against “our neighbors.” Source Aljazeera

This is childish, why this government likes cow towing with enemies within and outside. What is really this government's agenda, is it trying to cross the river with two boats? Since its agenda is not clear, it is either controlled or it has its own agenda this is the reason why Ethiopia is being attacked from every corner. Strong government that works for Ethiopia should put everybody to work, and make/force the diaspora to do internationally campaign for Ethiopia. If you have low knowledge on interntional and domestic how to have strong government, forever you will be attacked. use the diaspora to oust dr tedros, even President Trump opposes Tedros, the idiot diaspora in fact are excited that they think "ethiopian" is in power. individual who is trying to weaken Ethiopia and have Ethiopia taken over by colonialist. Ethiopians, or diaspora are in the dark of what is going on around the world and domestically. it is their business to find out what is going on, hiding behind anything is over. either you stand or you fall. If the government or diaspora are trying to put in world power for the so called our traditional allies, I don't think so, they are nazi fasists they are not true. they are using us against egypt, using us interntionally and look the result when did ethiopia ever strong or wealthy or at peace under their advice, relationship, it is a lie wake up
