Ethiopia and Eritrea Exchange Accusations Amid Tensions in Tigray Region
Ethiopia has informed the UN Security Council that it is acting in self-defense against Eritrea, accusing Eritrean troops of crossing into northern Ethiopia's Tigray region. Ethiopia's Foreign Minister cited the UN Charter's Article 51 but did not detail specific measures. Eritrea denies the allegations, calling Ethiopia's claims a pretext for aggression and urging UN intervention under Chapter VII. Meanwhile, Ethiopian forces and allied militias have advanced into the Tigrayan city of Adigrat near the Eritrean border, amid ongoing tensions and diplomatic severance between the two countries.
