October 16 update: ENDF controls key Tigrayan towns, including Mekelle and Zalambessa. Eritrean troop positions remain uncertain; TPLF may retain counterattack capacity. Border tensions are escalating, raising fears of direct war, but full-scale interstate war is unlikely?

#Afar 👇👇🚨🚨
Ethiopia has started a large military build-up around Bododa near the borders with Eritrea and Djibouti. Meanwhile, the Eritrean military is also surging troops on their side of the border in the area. A clash is possible in the coming days and weeks.

#Afar 👇👇🚨🚨
News: #Red_Sea Afar group calls for #Eritrean President, government to face ‘justice’ at conference in #Ethiopia’s #Afar region The Red Sea Afar Democratic Organization (#RSADO), an Ethiopia-based political and insurgent group opposing Eritrea’s ruling People’s Front for Democracy and Justice (#PFDJ), has called for President Isaias Afwerki and his government “to be held accountable” for alleged atrocities against the Red Sea Afar people, as it concluded a people’s conference in Logiya city, in Ethiopia’s Afar region held today. RSADO’s latest conference follows a series of political and military activities by the group over the past year, and amid a sharp deterioration in relations between Ethiopia and Eritrea. Recently, the organization has also pursued international avenues to raise concerns about the “treatment of the Red Sea Afar community.” Its leaders were recently featured in Israeli media amid reports that the group had sought support from #Israel. addisstandard.com/?p=60179

His Excellency is highly educated, capable and demonstrated dedication to peace and progress. Congratulations but we think we deserved a higher Ministry position at the federal level. Highly qualified individual who could represent Afar in Federal Cabinet table.

Some reliable update on the Bure #Afar front. No engagement between 🇪🇹-🇪🇷. Any reporting otherwise appears false as per this update 👇👇
Reports circulating across social media platforms claiming that active fighting has broken out between Ethiopia and Eritrea at #Bure are completely false. There has been no engagement or fighting there so far. #Ethiopia #Eretria #Bure

Update October 8, 2026, further to yesterday’s update, early October 8, it’s reported that ENDF drones targeted Eritrean troops and ammunition-loaded military vehicles around Idaga Hamus and Qerse Ber near Adigrat. Evidence of potentially direct 🇪🇹-🇪🇷military confrontation.

Step by step the needless conflict in Northern Ethiopia is expanding. Even someone as misguided as Eritreans Dictator Isaias should think twice before sending his troops into Ethiopia. When he did that in 1998 he suffered a huge loss. Stop this now. barrons.com/news/ethiopia-dr…
