Ethiopia Demands Withdrawal of Eritrean Troops from Its Territory

The Ethiopian government has formally demanded the immediate withdrawal of Eritrean troops, accusing them of crossing the border into the Tigray region. This escalation follows rising diplomatic tensions and the recent closure of embassies in both Addis Ababa and Asmara. Reports from eyewitnesses, local officials, and monitoring groups like ACLED confirm significant military movements and potential clashes near Adigrat. Eritrea, via its Information Minister Yemane Gebremeskel, has denied these claims, labeling them as fabrications and provocations, while citing Ethiopia's regional ambitions as the true source of conflict. The situation brings the two neighboring countries to the brink of a new military confrontation.
