The Ethiopian military has accused Eritrea of providing financial and logistical support to armed groups in the Tigray region, escalating tensions between the two nations. This accusation comes amid renewed fighting in Tigray, where the conflict has intensified despite previous ceasefire attempts. The US has recently lifted key sanctions on Eritrea, citing disruptions to Red Sea shipping caused by Houthi attacks. Analysts suggest this move may be linked to broader regional instability.
Eritrea has not officially responded to the accusations, but the situation highlights growing concerns over regional security. The Ethiopian army has pledged to maintain restraint, but fears of a new civil war persist. The conflict in Tigray has already caused significant humanitarian crises, with reports of displacement and limited access to aid. As both nations navigate complex political and military dynamics, the potential for further escalation remains a key concern.
