Ethiopia warns UNSC it will defend itself against Eritrean incursion

Ethiopia's Foreign Minister Gedion Timothewos told the UN Security Council that Eritrea has sent troops into Ethiopian territory and demanded their immediate withdrawal, warning that Ethiopia has no choice but to defend itself. The claim is unverified and marks a sharp escalation in rhetoric between the two neighbors, raising the risk of renewed conflict in the Horn of Africa. The situation is developing and could disrupt regional stability and trade routes.
