Ethiopia and Eritrea trade threats, raising war fears
Original: Ethiopia, Eritrea ramp up rhetoric: Are they inching towards war?
Ethiopia and Eritrea have escalated their public rhetoric, prompting fears that the two Horn of Africa neighbours could slide back into armed conflict years after their devastating 1998-2000 border war and a 2018 peace deal. Al Jazeera's reporting asks whether the two governments are inching towards war, with analysts watching disputed port access and regional tensions in the Red Sea area.
Why now: Renewed hostile statements between the two governments have raised fears of a new war in the Horn of Africa.
