Ethiopia Urges UN to Facilitate Withdrawal of Eritrean Troops from Tigray

Ethiopian Foreign Minister Gedion Timothewos has officially requested the United Nations to intervene regarding the presence of Eritrean forces in Ethiopia. During a meeting with UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed on October 8, Minister Gedion called for the immediate withdrawal of these troops from the Tigray region. This diplomatic move follows reports from witnesses in Adigrat who observed Eritrean military vehicles and soldiers moving through the area. Eritrea, through its Information Minister Yemane Gebremeskel, has categorically rejected these accusations. The Eritrean government claims that such allegations are being used by Addis Ababa to justify potential future conflicts against Eritrea.
