- Ethiopia has publicly accused Eritrea and Sudan of backing Tigray rebels amid renewed fighting in the region.
- The accusations frame a regional dimension to the Tigray insurgency, implicating two neighboring states as external sponsors of the rebellion.
Why it matters: By naming Eritrea and Sudan as backers of the Tigray rebellion, Ethiopia turns an internal insurgency into a three-state confrontation, raising the risk of cross-border military involvement and complicating any regional mediation effort.
