Toronto – Eritrean President Isais Afeworki has sent a message to Saudi Arabia, Eritrea’s Ministry of Information disclosed on Monday. 

It was Osman Saleh, Eritrea’s Minister for Foreign Affairs,  who delivered it to the  Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah. The message is for Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz.

Osman Saleh and his Saudi counterpart have reportedly held discussion on what Eritrea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs as “key issues of mutual interest,” and bilateral issues. No further detail was provided. 

Tension is developing in the Horn Africa region that could impact the Red Sea area as the relation between Ethiopia and Eritrea is further deteriorating. Some military figures who used to be in senior command positions in the Ethiopian Defense Force, like General Abebe Tekehaymanot, tend to see the inevitability of war between the two counties. 

There are views that tend to see Saudi Arabia intervention if war breaks out between Ethiopia  and Eritrea.
