What you need to know:

  • The Ethiopian government rejects all claims of active military involvement, support for the RSF, or cross-border aggression, calling the allegations baseless.
  • Addis Ababa counter-accuses elements within the Sudanese Armed Forces of tolerating and aiding dissidents, including the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, which Ethiopia views as a security threat along its western border.
