No Egyptian military attaches in African Horn and Nile Basin countries

The Egyptian Foreign Ministry announced in a statement yesterday that there are no military attaches in any of the Egyptian embassies in the capitals of the African Horn and Nile Basin countries, except Nairobi and Kinsasha.

The statement came in reply to the repeated allegations of an Ethiopian newspaper which refered to an increasing number of Egyptian military attaches in Asmara after the medical donation presented by Egypt to Eritrea.

The statement said the donation came within the aid presented by Egypt to the "intimate" African countries.
