Ethiopia Accuses Eritrea of Arming Rebels

Ethiopia Accuses Eritrea of Arming Rebels

Ethiopia and Eritrea, two countries that used to fight a lot, made peace in 2018.

But now they are arguing again.

Ethiopia says Eritrea is giving weapons to rebels in a part of Ethiopia called Amhara.

Eritrea says this is not true and that Ethiopia is looking for a reason to start a war.

Both countries say they don't want war, but they are making threats.

They fought a big war before from 1998 to 2001.

They also fought together in another war in Ethiopia from 2020 to 2022.

Now, Ethiopia wants access to the sea, which Eritrea has, and this is making Eritrea nervous.
