MOGADISHU, Somalia - Spy chiefs from the Federal Republic of Ethiopia, Eritrea government, and the Federal Government of Somalia are meeting in Addis Ababa for secret talks, Garowe Online has established, just days after leaders from the three nations held talks albeit separately, in what could trigger a crisis. The three are said to have met in Addis Ababa on Friday and it's not clear for how long they are going to hold talks. Coincidentally, the meeting comes after President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo's two-day working trip to Asmara last week where he held a meeting with Isaias Afwerki, the president of Eritrea. Opposition leaders believe that both Ethiopia and Eritrea could be determined to help Farmajo win the upcoming elections. Sources say the upcoming elections in Somalia could be the "agenda" of the meeting in Addis Ababa.
