Mogadishu (HOL) — Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud arrived in Asmara, Eritrea, on Wednesday for an official state visit, marking his fourth trip to the country since taking office in 2022. His visit is likely aimed at fortifying a budding tripartite alliance involving Somalia, Eritrea, and Egypt, which has developed in opposition to Ethiopia's increasing assertiveness in the region. Mohamud was welcomed at Asmara International Airport by Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki and senior Eritrean officials.
