Satterfield may be assigned to fix the broken Ethio-US relations but he might have been chosen to put pressure on Turkey not only regarding drone sales but Turkey's activities in the Horn. In my view, Satterfield will not be any better than Feltman because America still views Ethiopian policy as integral part of the Middle East which is the core American error. Any American policy that views Ethiopia from Arab perspective, hence entangled with Egypt is bound to fail. We shall see. For now America admitted that Feltman has failed big time in Ethiopia & Sudan. Neither Feltman nor Satterfield are students of Ethiopia or Horn experts!

Re: Amb. David Satterfield Will Replace Jeffrey Feltman As US Envoy to Ethiopia & Sudan
Ann Fitz-Gerald said "New US Special Envoy to HoA appt is timely based on lack of progress under outgoing Envoy Feltman. Profile of new Special Envoy suggests effort to placate Egypt; minimize splits in NATO; influence Turkish policy on HoA; …"
got it?
1. Placate Egypt
2. Fix NATO
3. Influence Turkey's policy in Horn
This is why I predicted similar failure for Satterfield.
