Statements by Ethiopia and tensions in the north

The Chief of the General Staff of the Ethiopian National Defense Forces, Field Marshal Birhanu Jula, had earlier accused Sudan, Egypt, and other actors of supporting groups opposed to Ethiopia's government. He also stated that external forces support an alliance of armed and political groups.

According to Jula, the Tigray People's Liberation Front and Eritrea would pose a lesser threat without external support.

The Sudanese army called on Addis Ababa to resolve differences through dialogue and official channels.
