"In the letter, Timothewos claims there is clear collusion between Eritrea's government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), a once-dominant political force in Ethiopia that fought a two-year civil war with Addis Ababa, ending in 2022. The collusion between the Eritrean government and the TPLF has become more evident over the past few months, said the letter, quoted by AFP."
"Ethiopia has accused Eritrea's government of working with an opposition group based in Ethiopia's northern Tigray region to prepare for a military offensive, underscoring concerns of renewed conflict in the region. Ethiopia's Foreign Minister Gedion Timothewos made the claim in a letter appealing to United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, cited by the AFP news agency and Ethiopian media on Wednesday."
Ethiopia accuses Eritrea of colluding with the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) to prepare a military offensive, increasing fears of renewed conflict. The two are accused of funding, mobilising and directing armed groups in the northern Amhara region, where federal forces face longstanding rebel insurgency. Relations between Ethiopia and Eritrea have deteriorated after a 1998–2000 border war and a 2018 thaw that saw Eritrean forces support federal troops during the 2020–2022 Tigray War. Tensions have escalated again amid Eritrean concerns over Ethiopian interest in the Assab Red Sea port and Ethiopian aspirations to regain sea access.
