NewzThe Government of Eritrea announced the total severance of its diplomatic relations with neighboring Ethiopia on Thursday. The decision comes in direct response to a prior move by the Ethiopian executive to close its embassy in the Eritrean capital of Asmara and declare ten Eritrean diplomats persona non grata.
The diplomatic rupture escalates tensions between the two Horn of Africa nations, following a history of volatile relations and a fragile peace process that had previously restored official ties between Asmara and Addis Ababa.
