Ethiopia’s ambassador to Somalia, Suleyman Daddaf, has accused Eritrea of violating Ethiopia’s sovereignty by sending troops into the Tigray region, amid growing tensions between the neighbouring countries.
Daddaf said Eritrean forces had entered Ethiopian territory, particularly Tigray, describing the move as a violation of Ethiopia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
“Eritrea violated Ethiopia’s sovereignty and sent armed forces towards the Ethiopian border, entering the Tigray region,” Daddaf said.
The ambassador also claimed that when the Eritrean forces reached Tigray, they were met by what he described as a “mafia” group that was preparing to fight the Ethiopian federal government.
Recently Ethiopia commences reduction of its AU troops in Somalia, what experts described preparation of the Tigray war again.
