Ethiopia's role in Sudan

Sudan's ongoing conflict has escalated into a regional struggle involving external actors like the UAE and Ethiopia, impacting civilian lives and state stability. The Rapid Support Forces have turned the war into a profitable enterprise, complicating the humanitarian crisis.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio highlighted the proxy nature of Sudan's conflict, implicating external actors like Ethiopia and the UAE in the ongoing violence. The war has escalated into a regional crisis, fueled by foreign support and arms supply.

Ethiopia’s state broadcaster has crossed another dangerous line. Then again, this is not new. And it almost certainly won’t be the last time. For months, EBC’s Amharic-language output has been full of this kind of messaging — blunt, emotional, territorial, and clearly aimed at a

There was something deeply revealing about the Sudan conference staged in Berlin this week. It was presented as diplomacy. It was marketed as concern. It was wrapped in the language of humanitarian urgency and civilian-centered politics. But strip away the polished statements and

Khartoum has stopped hinting and started naming the line it says Addis Ababa has crossed. In a press statement issued  Monday, March 2, 2026 , Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it had monitored drones entering Sudan  “from inside Ethiopian territory”  throughout February a

The lazy framing is already being warmed up: “tensions are rising,” “neighbours trade claims,” “both sides must de-escalate.” It sounds responsible. It reads balanced. And it quietly deletes the one fact that matters:  one side has spent years normalising war talk as policy. If y

Abiy Ahmed tried to stage the usual Addis photo-op when Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan arrived. But the camera caught something different: a stiff, guarded prime minister sitting beside a visitor who didn’t look like he came for flattery. What played out at the joint app

Ethiopia’s Foreign Ministry has sent Eritrea a formal letter dated  7 February 2026  that reads less like a genuine diplomatic outreach and more like a paper trail for escalation. It accuses Eritrea of “occupying Ethiopian territory,” of providing “material assistance” to militan
