This comes despite Somalia justifying its reservations as bridging the views of Egypt and Ethiopia. To answer this question, we must go back in history to confirm that relations between Egypt and Somalia date far back in terms of geography and trade. This was the golden era between the two neighbouring countries, as Somalia helped Egypt with bananas and meat during the October 1973 war. Moreover, Somalia was one of three countries that did not boycott Egypt due to the Camp David Accords in 1977.
