“Ethiopia also has a lot of problems, and we are not ready to go into battle. We do not need a war. It is better to settle the issue peacefully,” Abe told Parliament.
He later stressed that his country “does not want a war” with its neighbor against the background of the decades-old territorial dispute between the two parties, describing Sudan as a “brother country” whose people love Ethiopia.
The Ethiopian Prime Minister acknowledged the presence of forces from neighboring Eritrea in the Tigray region in northern Ethiopia, which is witnessing a conflict, months after the two countries denied the matter.
“But after the Eritrean army crossed the border and carried out operations in Ethiopia, any harm it caused to our people is unacceptable,” Abe said in a speech to Parliament, adding that he discussed the alleged violations with the Eritrean government several times.
