Assab

The provided articles focus on escalating tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea, not directly on Assab. Eritrea, a neighbor of Ethiopia, is accused by Ethiopia's foreign minister of military aggression and supporting armed groups within Ethiopian territory. This accusation follows previous claims by Addis Ababa that Eritrea supports rebel fighters on Ethiopian soil. The two countries have a history of conflict, having fought a war between 1998 and 2000. The current accusations and Ethiopia's demand for Eritrea to withdraw its troops highlight a renewed risk of conflict between the two nations. While Assab is not specifically mentioned, the overall context of Eritrean-Ethiopian relations is relevant to understanding potential regional instability and the possibility of future conflict.
