Etiopia spune că nu are de ales și trebuie să se apere de „invazia” unei țări vecine: „Este un fapt cunoscut de toată lumea”

Ethiopia claims it must defend itself against what it describes as a large-scale invasion by Eritrean forces, as tensions escalate in the Horn of Africa. The Ethiopian Foreign Minister stated that Eritrean troops have advanced up to 60 km into northern Ethiopia, prompting fears of open conflict. Ethiopia's letter to the UN Security Council labeled the presence of Eritrean troops as a blatant act of aggression, asserting its right to self-defense. Eritrea's Information Minister dismissed the claims as part of Ethiopia's strategy to justify aggression against Eritrea. Witnesses reported seeing Eritrean soldiers in northern Ethiopia following a breakdown in diplomatic relations between the two countries.
