Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has recently discussed plans to establish a fertilizer plant in Ethiopia.

Following the end of the Tigray war, international funding for Ethiopia has resumed, including from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The United Arab Emirates is a close ally of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government and has provided financial support to Ethiopia over the years.

Abiy Ahmed's government in Ethiopia has been accused of siding with the United Arab Emirates and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan's civil war, though Ethiopia denies this.

The United States views Ethiopia as strategically "too big to fail" due to instability in neighboring countries like Sudan and Somalia.

In the Sudanese civil war, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are perceived to be siding with the Sudanese army, while the UAE and Ethiopia are perceived to be on the side of the Rapid Support Forces.
