"Eritrea Arming Rebels in Ethiopia" | Firstpost Africa | Subscribe to Firstpost | N18G

Tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea have escalated following Ethiopia’s accusations that Eritrea is arming Fano rebels in the Amhara region. Ethiopian authorities said that they recently seized over 50,000 rounds of ammunition, allegedly sent by the "Shabiya" (Eritrean government) to fuel the ongoing northern insurgency. Eritrea has denied these claims, dismissing them as "false flags" designed to justify an impending military offensive. The relationship, which briefly thawed during the 2018 peace deal, has soured since the end of the Tigray War. The friction is now compounded by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s declaration that Red Sea access is an "existential" necessity for landlocked Ethiopia—a claim Eritrea views as a direct threat to its sovereignty. As both nations engage in a volatile war of words and reinforce their borders, the international community fears the Horn of Africa may be sliding back into a full-scale regional conflict.
