Ethiopia and Eritrea on Friday accused each other of starting a "war of agresson" days after the two countries severed diplomatic ties. Ethiopian officals estimate that up to 8,000 Eritrean soldiers are present in Tigray supporting rebels who last month launched attacks against federal forces.
Ethiopia and Eritrea each accused the other of starting a war of aggression on Friday as an internal Ethiopian conflict threatened to escalate into a regional war.
Ethiopia accuses Eritrea of backing rebels in its northern Tigray state, who launched attacks against federal forces last month.

Eritrea has a Muslim majority but a large Christian minority. Ethiopia is mostly Christian and is one of the oldest Christian nations.
Eritrea is known as the North Korea of Africa because of its despotic regime.
A new paradise awaiting deported illegal aliens.
