Ethiopia reports seized ammunition for Fano rebels from Eritrea

Ethiopian police have seized over 56,000 rounds of ammunition allegedly sent by Eritrea to the Fano rebel group, raising tensions between the two nations. Eritrea denies the accusation, claiming Ethiopia is fabricating reasons to justify war. Relations have deteriorated since Eritrea was excluded from a 2022 peace deal, and Ethiopia’s calls for Red Sea access have further strained ties. Both countries express a desire for peace, but rhetoric suggests possible escalation.
