On the horizon

The Support Egypt Coalition says welcomes Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn’s planned address to the House of Representatives this month, Al Masry Al Youm reports. The coalition — which is the majority bloc in parliament — said that Desalegn’s visit is “an opportunity to improve relations between Egypt and Ethiopia” as the two are locked in a war of words over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. A number of MPs have signed a letter saying they would not attend his Desalegn’s speech.
