Eritrea cuts diplomatic ties with Ethiopia over Tigray
Original: Eritrea severs diplomatic ties with Ethiopia in row over Tigray
Eritrea has severed diplomatic relations with Ethiopia amid a dispute over Tigray, in a sharp deterioration of ties between the two neighbours. The break comes despite the two countries having been close allies during Ethiopia's conflict in the northern Tigray region. Details of the immediate trigger for the rupture remain limited.
Why now: The sudden breakdown of relations between two formerly allied neighbours marks a major shift in Horn of Africa diplomacy.
