Egypt expels Ethiopian diplomat, reciprocating to Addis Ababa

Egypt declared an Ethiopian diplomat persona non grata and gave him 48 hours to leave the country in retaliation for Ethiopia's expulsion of an Egyptian diplomat. Tensions have escalated over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and mutual accusations of supporting rebel groups like the TPLF. Recently, Ethiopia and Eritrea severed diplomatic relations, and Egypt has strengthened its ties with Eritrea.
