Eritrea severs all diplomatic ties with Ethiopia after Addis expels ten diplomats

Eritrea announced the complete severance of diplomatic relations with Ethiopia on October 1, responding to Addis Ababa's expulsion of ten Eritrean diplomats. This marks a full rupture after years of fragile rapprochement, escalating tensions amid intensified conflicts in northern Ethiopia. The move signals a return to adversarial statecraft between the two neighbors, with potential regional destabilization.
