Secretary Rubio’s Call with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy
March 11, 2026

The below is attributable to Principal Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Pigott:
Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke today with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali. The Secretary and Prime Minister discussed their shared commitment to regional stability, counterterrorism cooperation, economic prosperity, and building a foundation for long-term security in the Horn of Africa.

My take on the discussion:

Why did Mr. Rubio call Abiy Ahmed today? Why now? In the context of the war in west Asia, Rubio’s call has to do with urgency. The topics of discussion must have been both important and urgent.

There are some immediately connected events that happened yesterday ….
(1) US designated the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood (Al-Burhan ally) as global terrorist organization. This measure was asked by UAE (RSF ally)
(2) Statement by geopolitical analyst Brandon Weichert - does Ethiopia control a red sea coast? No. But Ethiopia’s security role in the Red sea is directly tied to Ethiopia’s quest for the Red sea
(3) Israel wants to have a Red sea base to fight the Houthis.
(4) Why did Djibouti lower port fees today?
(5) And, there is rumor that Ethiopia and Eritrea are in a negotiation
(6) Probably a RSF and SAF ceasefire?
(7) A definitive statement by Ethiopia general about sea access yesterday

Why are all these things are happening all at the same time?

Topics of Discussion
1. Regional Stability
2. Counter-terrorism cooperation
3. Economic prosperity
4. Foundation for Long Term security in the Horn of Africa

Regional Stability issues:
(1) Ethiopia-Egypt Nile issue
(2) RSF-SAF Sudanese war
(3) Ethiopia-Eritrea Assab port right issue
(4) The South Sudanese Civil war
(5) Somalia-Al Shaba war
(6) Pretoria TPLF/Fano/OLA
(7) Somalialnd – Somalia
(8) Djibouti Afars issue

Anti-Terrorism cooperation
(1) Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood
(2) Al-Shabab & Isis in Somalia
(3) Houthis in Yemen

Economic prosperity
American investment in the Bishoftou Mega airport

Long term security framework
US and Ethiopia need to sign a MOU for further partnership and alliance

Secretary Marco Rubio is pressuring Abiy Ahmed to cancel the security agreements Ethiopia had signed with Iran last December, as well as for Ethiopia to withdraw its membership from BRICS.

Abiy is demanding for USAID to be reinstated in exchange for turning against Iran and Ethiopia's withdrawal from BRICS.

It is highly unlikely that the Trump administration would reinstate the USAID that has long been dismantled and terminated.

Fifi,
I am sure you are one of those poor aging ሻቢያ ቆሞ ቀር!

America has more pressing issues than thinking about your types of non-issues.

As Iran completely shuts down Hormuz, the next chock point is going to Bab El Mendeb and for sure Iran will activate Houthis to shut down the Red Sea.

Expect earth shaking fire on the Red sea - ዛሬ በኢሚሬት መቀጥቀጥ ጨፍረሻል ፣ ነገ የቀጣሪሽ ግብጽ ሱዌዝ ካናልና ያባትሽ ሳውዲ ፊውዳሎች በር ሲዘጋ ምን እንደ ምትሆኚ ይታያል

ጦርነቱ ገና አልተጀመረም!

የዛሬ 2 ሳምንት የሳውዲው አልጋ ወራሽ በሱዳን ፈጥኖ ደራሽና ኢሚሬት ላይ ሳክሽን እንዲደረግ ትራምፕን ያባብል ነበር!

But yesterday USA classified the Sudanese brotherhood , your buddies as global terrorists!

Now go back and re-read my post on the VUCA nature of geopolitics.

Whatever the final outcome of this war - Ethiopia is going to be one of the securing power of the Red sea and Horn of Africa.

Expect us shining on the our eternal sea, the Red Sea.

Go read why I have been saying this Gulf war was an opportunity for Ethiopia!

AND, THE COWARD SENILE BIG MOUTH ISU IS DEAD SILENT LIKE A STONE. THIS IS HOW USELESS, IRRELEVANT YOU ARE. A SMALL TIME SERVANT OF WEAK EGYPT, AS SOON AS THE EGION SHAKES YOU HIDE LIKE LITTLE SNAIL. YES, YOU ARE NOW IMPLICATED WITH GLOBAL TERRORISTS, PERIOD.

CLEARLY, SECRETARY RUBIO CALLED pm ABIY AHMED TO DISCUSS ERITREA'S COLLABORATION WITH THE SUDANESE TERRORIST MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD.
