Ethiopia accuses Sudan and Egypt of backing Tigray rebels

Ethiopia has accused Sudan and Egypt of supporting Tigray forces as fighting intensifies in the country's north, escalating regional tensions. Sudan's army has denied the allegation, saying its rival paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces, is the party involved with Tigrayan fighters rather than Khartoum itself. The accusations come amid a broader deterioration in relations between the Horn of Africa neighbours, with Egypt also locked in its own disputes with Ethiopia over the Nile dam. Observers warn the claims risk widening an already volatile conflict.

Why now: Renewed fighting in Tigray and fresh accusations against two neighbouring states have raised fears of a wider regional conflict.
