Ethiopia's Military Buildup Near Tigray Region Sparks Concerns of Expanded War Involving Eritrea

Tensions Between Ethiopia and Eritrea Over Troop Movements Spark Concerns of Regional Instability

The Horn of Africa has become a hotbed of tension in recent years, with Ethiopia's protracted conflict in Tigray leaving deep scars on the region.

The fragile peace between Ethiopia and Eritrea has been on shaky ground for months, with both nations engaging in a low-intensity war of words over disputed territories and proxy conflicts. Ethiopian Foreign Minister Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus's demand for Eritrea to withdraw its troops from Ethiopian soil and an end to support for rebel groups in the Horn of Africa is rooted in a long history of tensions between the two nations.

The Horn of Africa has long been a crucible for global geopolitics, with Ethiopia at its epicenter. A country boasting one of Africa's oldest and most revered empires, the Solomonic dynasty, Ethiopian history is inextricably linked to regional dynamics that have shaped the Horn of Africa into the complex web of alliances, rivalries, and conflicts seen today.
