US Urges Ethiopia and Eritrea to Show Restraint, Warns Against Another War

The United States has called on Ethiopia and Eritrea to exercise restraint and return to dialogue, warning that mounting tensions could lead to a new conflict in the Horn of Africa.

The appeal focused on preventing the dispute from escalating into war, with Washington cautioning that the region could not bear the consequences of another armed confrontation.

The US urged both countries to pursue dialogue rather than allow tensions to deepen. Its message placed diplomatic engagement at the centre of efforts to avert a conflict.

The warning framed the stakes as extending beyond Ethiopia and Eritrea, highlighting the potential consequences for the wider Horn of Africa if tensions give way to fighting.
