Ethiopia and Eritrea Trade Accusations in Letters to UN Security Council

Ethiopia and Eritrea have exchanged formal letters with the UN Security Council accusing each other of aggression and border violations. Ethiopia claims Eritrean forces have penetrated 30-60 km into its territory, while Eritrea dismisses these claims as a pretext for an planned invasion. The dispute has escalated amid regional concerns over the sovereignty of both nations. Ethiopia has requested UN support for its right to self-defense, while Eritrea urges the Council to condemn the alleged threats against it. Both nations remain locked in a tense diplomatic standoff regarding the Red Sea access and border security.
