On the brink of a new war: Ethiopian authorities stated that the country "has no choice but to defend itself against Eritrea," Reuters reports. Addis Ababa has demanded the immediate withdrawal of Eritrean troops from its territory, sending a corresponding appeal to the UN Security Council. The new escalation is unfolding amid fighting in northern Ethiopia. Addis Ababa accuses Eritrea of supporting the rebels and introducing troops into its territory. The countries previously severed diplomatic relations. Tensions are also heightened by a long-standing dispute over Ethiopia's access to the Red Sea: Addis Ababa remains the world's most populous country without its own coastline and is seeking access to port infrastructure. Why the long-standing conflict between neighbors has escalated again and what role Ethiopia's desire to gain access to the Red Sea plays in it—Izvestia investigated. More IZ RU news in MAX

FWD from IZ.RU • IMPORTANT: Ethiopia and Eritrea have severed diplomatic relations: what's happening in the Horn of Africa Ethiopia and Eritrea have severed diplomatic relations amid renewed tensions around the Tigray region. Addis Ababa has accused its neighbor of supporting rebels and sending troops into Ethiopian territory. The situation is complicated by the fact that the two countries already have a long history of wars and territorial disputes. The conflict in Tigray has flared up again
From 2020 to 2022, the Ethiopian government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front waged a civil war. It ended with the Pretoria Agreement, but some issues remained unresolved, and in the summer the TPLF declared the agreement "effectively dead." In September, seven rebel groups from different regions united to form the Ethiopian People's Forces for Survival Coalition. It included representatives of the Tigray, Oromo, Amhara, Somali, and Afar peoples. Some of these forces had fought against each other during the previous war and now opposed the government of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. Rebels went on the offensive
On September 23, the coalition launched an offensive from Tigray and established control over three key airports in the region. Fighting spread to Afar and Amhara, and Ethiopian Airlines was forced to cancel flights to the north of the country. Government forces managed to recapture some settlements. On the night of October 1, rebels also carried out drone strikes in Addis Ababa. Ethiopia accused Eritrea of interference
Ethiopian authorities claimed that Eritrea was supporting the rebels. Afar Governor Awol Arba claimed that Eritrean troops entered the region to cut the road from Ethiopia to Djibouti. Following this, Addis Ababa closed its embassy in Asmara and expelled ten Eritrean diplomats. In response, Eritrea announced a complete severance of diplomatic relations. The countries have been in conflict for decades
Eritrea gained independence from Ethiopia in 1993 after years of war. As a result, Ethiopia lost its own access to the Red Sea. By 1998, a new border war had broken out between the countries. A peace agreement was signed in 2000, but clashes continued periodically for another 18 years. Only in 2018 did Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announce his renunciation of territorial claims and his readiness to abide by the peace treaty. At the center of the dispute is access to the sea
Ethiopia remains the most populous landlocked country in the world and is seeking access to the Red Sea. Addis Ababa has offered Eritrea various options for transferring control of the port of Assab, including an exchange for territory or shares in Ethiopian Airlines and the Hydaseh Dam. Eritrea rejects these proposals. Now, mutual accusations have been added to the old territorial disputes amid a new internal conflict in Ethiopia, which has once again heightened tensions between the two countries.

What is this event about?
This market will resolve to "Yes" if Eritrean military forces enter Ethiopia by the listed date, 11:59 PM ET in a military operation that establishes control over any portion of Ethiopian territory. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
Any Eritrean military operation which remains on the ground inside the territory of Ethiopia for less than 48 hours will not qualify.
Mere presence of Eritrean military forces within Ethiopia will not alone qualify, even if for longer than 48 hours. A consensus of credible reporting must demonstrate that such presence is or was part of a military operation which established control over a portion of Ethiopia.
Only the entry of Eritrean military forces into the territory of Ethiopia must occur by the listed date, 11:59 PM ET. Where Eritrean military forces enter the territory of Ethiopia by the listed date, but on the listed date, at 11:59 PM ET, control has not yet been confirmed by a consensus of credible reporting, this market will remain open for 7 additional full calendar days (ET) to allow for confirmation. If, at the end of the seventh calendar day, no consensus of credible reporting indicates that the operation has established or did establish control over part of Ethiopia, this market will resolve to "No." No single statement, denial, or presentation of evidence will govern where it is contradicted by a consensus of credible reporting.
Hybrid or "grey zone" operations conducted by unmarked personnel will qualify if they are confirmed to be acting under the direct control of the Eritrean state and establish de facto control over territory.
For purposes of this market, Ethiopia will be considered to be territory claimed by Ethiopia and not controlled by another state at the time of market creation. Territory claimed by Ethiopia but held by Eritrea or another state will not be relevant for purposes of this market.
Search and rescue or hostage rescue operations, operations intended solely to capture specific individuals, operations solely intended to evacuate personnel or to extract or destroy equipment or infrastructure, and intelligence, reconnaissance, or surveillance operations, whether overt or covert, will not qualify unless clearly demonstrated by a consensus of credible reporting to have satisfied this market’s criteria for a “Yes” resolution. Operations conducted with the consent or at the invitation of the government of Ethiopia and strikes by air, missile, drone, or naval forces unaccompanied by ground forces will not qualify.
The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.
