Netanyahu's map depicts Ethiopia and Sudan's RSF as 'friendly'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has unveiled a regional security map that categorizes Ethiopia and Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) as 'friendly' nations toward Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The map positions Addis Ababa within a wider strategic alliance that also encompasses Greece and parts of India. This visual representation suggests a significant shift in regional geopolitical alignments involving these nations. The inclusion of Ethiopia highlights its growing strategic importance in the eyes of these Middle Eastern powers. Furthermore, the labeling of Sudan’s RSF as a friendly entity has drawn attention given the ongoing conflict within Sudan. The map serves as a visual indicator of the strategic bloc Netanyahu is looking to build or highlight. As of now, there has been no official reaction from the Ethiopian government regarding this depiction.
