Why Erdogan Just Landed in Ethiopia: The Real Strategy Behind the Visit

Описание: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has arrived in Addis Ababa — but this is far more than a diplomatic courtesy call.

In this Horn Lens geopolitical briefing, we decode the real strategy behind Erdoğan’s meeting with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, and what it signals for the balance of power across the Horn of Africa.

As Türkiye expands its global footprint, Ethiopia is emerging as one of Africa’s most strategically pivotal states — geographically central, economically ambitious, and increasingly decisive in Red Sea security dynamics.

With new agreements on energy, investment, infrastructure, and regional stabilization, this visit highlights a deeper alignment that could reshape:

• Red Sea trade corridors
• Horn of Africa diplomacy
• Sea-access negotiations
• Global power competition in East Africa

The Red Sea is rapidly becoming one of the world’s most contested economic arteries. As major powers recalibrate their strategies, Türkiye appears determined to position itself as a balancing and mediating force in the region.

This analysis explains:

• Why Erdoğan visited Ethiopia now
• Türkiye’s long-term Africa strategy
• Ethiopia’s rising geopolitical leverage
• Red Sea trade and maritime security competition
• What this means for global power dynamics
