Ethiopia and Eritrea on path to war, Tigray officials warn

Tigray officials have raised alarms about the growing risk of war between Ethiopia and Eritrea, citing escalating tensions and military movements along their shared border.

Tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea are escalating, with officials from the Tigray region warning that the two countries could be heading toward war. The alarm comes as both nations have ramped up military activities along their border, raising fears of a return to conflict after a years-long stalemate.

The Tigray region, which has already endured a brutal conflict involving Ethiopian federal forces, continues to be a flashpoint for instability. While Ethiopia and Eritrea signed a peace agreement in 2018, recent developments have reignited longstanding hostilities.

Officials from Tigray have expressed concerns that the situation could quickly spiral out of control, urging international intervention to prevent a larger-scale conflict.
