Simmering tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea flared this week after an opinion piece penned by Ethiopia’s former president Mulatu Teshome provoked a strongly worded response from Asmara.
Writing in Al Jazeera on Monday, Teshome, Ethiopia’s president from 2013 to 2018, who is considered a close ally of Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, accused Eritrean president Isaias Afwerki of “working to reignite conflict in northern Ethiopia”, and called for global pressure on Eritrea to avert such a disaster.
