Egypt restates respect for Ethiopia's sovereignty: Ministry of foreign affairs

Egypt's ministry of foreign affairs restated on Monday Egypt's total respect for Ethiopian sovereignty, and non-interference in the country's internal affairs, following allegations of Egyptian support for anti-government demonstrations by the Oromo ethnic group.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ahmed Abu Zeid added that there were ongoing "high level" communications between the two countries to maintain positive outcomes recently achieved in Egyptian-Ethiopian relations.

This is the second statement released by Egypt's foreign ministry in less than 24 hours asserting that Egypt respects Ethiopian sovereignty, after Ethiopia released official statements accusing Egypt of supporting Oromo rebels.
