ECOWAS voices concern over growing tensions between Algeria and Mali
The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has expressed deep concern over the rising tensions between Algeria and Mali
Egypt said Tuesday that President Sisi did not speak by phone with Donald Trump at the weekend, after the US leader called for relocating Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan. Trump had revealed a plan to "clean out" the Gaza Strip, saying he would "like Egypt to take people", as well as Jordan. The Egyptian foreign ministry on Sunday released a statement rejecting "any infringement on Palestinians' inalienable rights to their land", whether "temporarily or long-term". Egypt is a key US ally in the region, and was the only country except for Israel to receive an exemption from Trump's foreign aid ban this week.
