Eritrea Urges UN Security Council Intervention Amid Escalating Tensions with Ethiopia

Eritrea's Foreign Minister Osman Saleh formally petitioned the UN Security Council to condemn Ethiopia, alleging Addis Ababa is using claims of incursions to justify a war of aggression. Ethiopia had previously informed the Security Council it was taking self-defense measures, accusing Eritrea of sending troops into its territory. The renewed fighting in Ethiopia's Tigray region and the escalating rhetoric between the two nations raise fears of a wider conflict.
