Egypt has always wished to not involve itself militarily, on the boots ground sort of situation, in most of its modern history.
Observations of the Turkish occupation of northern Syria which has lasted almost a decade, where dozens, if not a hundred or two Turkish soldiers have been killed by terror/militant groups, with public opinion and morale decreasing and Turkey not being able to withdraw without having its prestige being cracked and waned, have convinced Command that the threat of direct military intervention is the last case scenario if all fails.
This is why Egypt has refused to involve itself in the war in Sudan with boots on the ground, fearing of a repetition of the scenario of Northern Syria, and if the Armed Forces are involved in one strategic direction, that leaves other directions lacking and vulnerable
The only time in recent memory that Egypt has directly threatened to militarily intervene was in Libya in 2020 - by forcing a red line in Sirte, by all accounts, the threat of intervention finally sobered up all sides of the Libyan civil war, and now everything is somewhat calm, and negotiations are on-going.
For Egypt to directly imply that Somalia can call on Egyptian military assistance in its confrontation with Ethiopia means that Command has put its foot down and that the red [deleted] is with the Somali officials - the same way we gave the red [deleted] to the National Parliament in Eastern Libya, there is simply no other choice.

Egypt: Command has put its foot down and that the red [deleted] is with the Somali officials
This is a comment by an Egyptian, What is important to remember here is that Egypt perceives this conflict created by Abi as a gift from God that must be exploited to ensure its interest.
