> Both Ethiopia and Eritrea have asked the UN Security Council to intervene as tensions between them rise. Ethiopia accused Eritrea of a “blatant act of aggression”, alleging it sent troops 60 kilometres into Ethiopian territory. Eritrea denied the charge and urged the council to condemn what it called Ethiopia’s “deplorable declaration of war”.
