AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoEritrea at the UCI Road World Championships: Eritrea’s Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier and Natnael Tesfatsion failed to start after visa problems blocked entry to Canada, leaving the team short-handed and triggering UCI fines for the squad. Horn of Africa security: Ethiopia’s renewed Tigray offensive is spreading beyond Tigray, with TPLF-linked forces taking airports and pushing into Afar and Amhara, while Ethiopia’s army chief accuses Eritrea, Sudan and Egypt of backing the rebels—claims Sudan denies. Humanitarian and infrastructure strain: UN and rights groups warn of rising civilian harm as communications disruptions hit Mekelle and parts of Amhara, and displacement in Afar is estimated at 150,000+. Red Sea trade pressure: Analysts link the wider conflict risk to Red Sea chokepoint instability, with Houthi moves around Bab el-Mandeb raising freight and energy-cost concerns for the Djibouti corridor. Eritrea–US sanctions update: Eritrea says the US lifted sanctions under EO 14046, though critics argue the impact is overstated and unresolved issues remain. Business/energy angle: A new Ethiopia–Djibouti fuel pipeline backed by Dangote is pitched as a logistics and energy-security upgrade that could cut costs versus truck transport.
