NewzAuthorities in Ethiopia have publicly accused Eritrean President Isaias Afewerki of being the "father of miscalculations" amid escalating tensions between the two neighboring nations. The diplomatic friction centers on allegations that Asmara has dispatched troops into Ethiopia's northern Tigray region to support the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF).
The accusations mark a significant deterioration in bilateral relations following ongoing military and political instability in northern Ethiopia. The involvement of Eritrean forces in the Tigray conflict has historically been a major point of contention and a destabilizing factor in the Horn of Africa.
