Ethiopia and Kenya have agreed to strengthen security coordination along the Moyale Marsabit, Turkana corridor, endorsing structured joint military operations aimed at addressing cross-border threats and safeguarding key infrastructure linking the two countries.
The agreement is part of renewed efforts to operationalise the existing Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA) between the two neighbours.
Under the arrangement, the Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) and the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) are expected to undertake phased and coordinated operations targeting vulnerable border areas and strategic assets.
In a related development, Ethiopia’s defence ministry also held bilateral talks with a delegation from the #Rwanda Defence Force (#RDF) on the margins of the Adwa anniversary celebrations.
According to RDF, discussions focused on deepening bilateral engagement and exploring technology-driven defence initiatives, reflecting growing interest among African militaries in digitalisation and innovation.
Local media further reported that Minister Aisha also held separate consultations with defence ministers and heads of delegations from several African countries attending the commemorative event.
These included representatives from #South_Sudan, #Zimbabwe, #Zambia, Republic of the #Congo, #Botswana, Democratic Republic of the #Congo, #Cameroon, #Mali, and #Algeria.
