Ethiopia, Eritrea draw battle lines as crisis deepens

Tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea have escalated sharply this week, threatening the peace efforts that earned Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed the Nobel Peace Prize in 2019. Ethiopia formally reported Eritrea to the UN, accusing Asmara of aggression. Experts believe that unresolved issues between the two nations have kept the possibility of war alive, and the situation risks escalating into armed conflict, jeopardizing regional stability in the Horn of Africa.
