Field Marshal Birhanu Jula, head of the Ethiopian military, accused foreign powers of supporting a new armed alliance in the region. The alliance, he claimed, is attempting to recreate a political and military network similar to past structures. Jula emphasized that the involvement of external actors is a threat to regional stability. The Ethiopian military has been involved in several conflicts in the region, including in Tigray. The new alliance is believed to be composed of various armed groups. The Ethiopian government has previously accused foreign nations of supporting rebel groups. The situation has raised concerns among regional leaders. The Ethiopian military is currently engaged in multiple operations in the region. The new alliance is said to be gaining support from external sources. The Ethiopian government has called for an investigation into the alleged support. The situation remains tense in the region.
