Worried about the insurgencies in Eritrea and Ogaden, cut off from the US arms pipeline, and waiting for more supplies from Moscow, Mengistu needed military aid. Begin asked Carter to reverse his decision to cut off US aid to Ethiopia. He also asked for approval for Israel to send Mengistu the US fighter planes and transport assistance that the Ethiopians had requested.
