Why don't Egypt use Eritrea. Since Egypt is Eritrea's best friend and already has a small base there.
They can't use Somalia it's a failed state not fit for an regional conflict.
Somalia already has a undeserved reputation of being against Africa by irrational and biased Bantus.
First, Egypt doesn't have a base in Eritrea. UAE has. Eritrea is currently one of the closest allies of Ethiopia. Even if it wasn't Eritrea will never do such idiocy. Eritreans are not stupid to drag the region in a senseless war for the sake of some distant ayrab. Btw UAE is also a friendly country to Ethiopia.
