The Government of Somalia has told the BBC its position regarding the tension between Ethiopia and Eritrea

The Somali government has told the BBC its position regarding the tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea.

In the Horn of Africa, concerns are once again being raised about the escalating tensions between certain countries.

After weeks of conflict in northern Ethiopia, tensions between the neighboring countries of Ethiopia and Eritrea have once again risen, eventually reaching a point where both countries are recalling their ambassadors.

Addis Ababa accuses Asmara of supporting rebel groups fighting against the government, particularly in Tigray, but Eritrea has repeatedly denied these accusations.

Days ago, Eritrean troops entered northern Ethiopia, heading towards an area where clashes are occurring between Ethiopian government forces and regional forces, according to residents of the city of Adigrat in Tigray who spoke to the BBC.

Fighting in the region began two weeks ago, following months of tensions between the Ethiopian government and the ruling party in Tigray, the TPLF.

Both sides are accusing each other of violating the 2022 agreement that ended a two-year civil war.

The new tensions arose after a new alliance was formed in September, uniting armed groups in Ethiopia, including the TPLF.

As the tension persists, the leaders of Egypt, Sudan, and Eritrea held a meeting in Egypt, which analysts described as a meeting that came at a critical time as all three countries accused Ethiopia of supporting the rebel groups, but all three denied the accusation.

Somalia, which shares a long land border with Ethiopia, participated in the meeting as President Hassan Sheikh, who had previously visited Addis Ababa, attended the quadrilateral meeting.

Now the question is, where does Somalia stand in the regional tensions, particularly the one between Addis Ababa and Asmara?
