Eritrea severs diplomatic ties with Ethiopia
Eritrea announced it is cutting all diplomatic relations with Ethiopia following accusations that Asmara supports the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front. Eritrea has firmly denied these allegations as fighting continues.
Eritrea severed all diplomatic ties with Ethiopia on Thursday afternoon, ending a fragile bilateral relationship. The move shatters the 2018 peace accord that formally restored diplomatic channels between the two Horn of Africa neighbors. The escalation follows recent armed clashes involving federal troops and regional opposition forces.
