Ethiopia Accuses Eritrea and Egypt of Backing Rebel Offensive: Army Chief
Eritrea allegedly led a new offensive against Ethiopian federal forces, while Egypt supplied weapons and logistical support to the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), Ethiopia’s Chief of General Staff Birhanu Jula told reporters.
While the attacks in the Amhara and Afar regions were successfully repelled, a broader coalition—including the TPLF, the Amhara-based Fano militia, the Oromo Liberation Front, and Egypt—continues to plot the overthrow of the Ethiopian government, he noted.
Neither Eritrea nor Egypt has yet responded to these accusations.
The accusation comes amid a new escalation in northern Ethiopia. The Ethiopian government accused Eritrea of "all-out invasion" of its Tigray region, with fighting renewed between Ethiopian federal forces and the TPLF.
The video from social media purports to show a captured Egyptian mercenary fighting alongside the TPLF.
