Ethiopia's military chief, Field Marshal Birhanu Jula, accused Eritrea of leading fresh attacks in the Tigray region, with Egypt providing logistical support. The allegations were made on Saturday, according to Ethiopian military sources. Jula stated that Eritrea was coordinating with armed groups to launch attacks.
The Ethiopian military claims that Eritrea is using its border with Tigray to support attacks against Ethiopian forces. The accusations come amid ongoing tensions in the region. Egypt is accused of providing logistical support to Eritrea. The Ethiopian military has not provided evidence to back these claims.
The situation in Tigray has been marked by intense fighting since November 2020. The Ethiopian government has accused Eritrea of supporting the Tigray People's Liberation Front, a group that has been fighting against the government. Eritrea has denied these accusations. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties and displacement. The international community has called for an immediate ceasefire.
