By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Beninwebtv
Ethiopia accuses Eritrea of sending soldiers up to 60 kilometres into its territory and invokes self-defence before the UN Security Council. Asmara rejects the accusations and says Addis Ababa is waging a war of aggression to regain access to the port of Assab, according to Reuters and the Associated Press.
Ethiopia says Eritrean units have advanced up to 60 kilometres into its territory in the north of the country. Ethiopian Foreign Minister Gedion Timothewos made the accusation in a letter to members of the UN Security Council, Beninwebtv reports.
Addis Ababa calls the incursion a “full-scale invasion” and says it reserves the right to self-defence. Eritrea rejects this account and in turn accuses Ethiopia of waging an “unprovoked war of aggression”, according to Beninwebtv.
