Ethiopia Govt Accuses Eritrea, Tigray Front of War Plot

The Ethiopian government has accused Eritrea of conspiring with the Tigray People Liberation Front (TPLF) to "wage war" on the East African country. In a letter addressed to UN Secretary-General António Guterre, the government said the collusion between Eritrea and "hardliners" in the TPLF became more evident in the last few months, which has led it to believe the alliance is "actively preparing" for war.

The letter described Eritrea as the "main architect of these nefarious activities," accusing it of underwriting conflicts through "financial, material, and political support." Eritrea's actions, the letter said, aim to "destabilize and fragment Ethiopia" under the pretext of feeling threatened by Ethiopia's "quest to gain access to the sea".
