> Ethiopia and Sudan are exchanging accusations over support for armed conflicts on opposite sides of their border. A new alliance led by the Tigray People's Liberation Front is fighting Ethiopian forces in the north, while experts warn that the region's overlapping conflicts and foreign interests could trigger a wider conflagration. There is currently no evidence of direct involvement by Sudanese forces, the RSF or Eritrea in the latest escalation.
