US Urges Ethiopia and Eritrea to Exercise Restraint, Warns Against New War

The United States has urged Ethiopia and Eritrea to exercise restraint and return to dialogue, warning that rising tensions between the two countries could lead to a new conflict.

The US appeal stressed that the Horn of Africa cannot bear the consequences of another war, framing the tensions as a concern for the wider region.

Washington called on both countries to step back from escalation and address their differences through talks rather than confrontation.

The warning focused on preventing tensions from developing into hostilities, with restraint and renewed dialogue at the centre of the US message.
