Ethiopia's army chief accused Eritrea and Sudan on Sunday of backing armed groups fighting federal troops, as clashes with Tigrayan rebels intensified in the country's north, according to reports from France 24.
The Tigray People's Liberation Front said it was waging a "defensive war" amid the escalating confrontations, pushing back against Ethiopian government forces in the contested region.
A humanitarian source said rebel forces captured the town of Erebti in the Afar region on Sunday, marking a notable development in the fighting and raising concerns about the impact on civilians in the area.
The accusations against Eritrea and Sudan add a regional dimension to the conflict, which has drawn in neighboring states at various points since fighting between Ethiopian federal forces and Tigrayan groups first erupted years earlier.
Neither Eritrea nor Sudan had issued an immediate public response to the accusations. The situation remains fluid, with humanitarian organizations continuing to monitor the impact of the clashes on affected communities.
