US Warns Ethiopia-Eritrea Border Tensions Could Destabilise Horn of Africa

The United States has warned that escalating tensions along the border between Ethiopia and Eritrea could have repercussions across the Horn of Africa.

Washington urged both countries to exercise restraint and return to dialogue, calling for a diplomatic response to the rising tensions.

The warning focused on the potential for the border dispute to affect the wider region, rather than remain confined to the two neighbours.

The US appeal placed de-escalation and renewed talks at the centre of efforts to prevent the situation from worsening.
