Sudan Denies Backing Ethiopian Rebel Alliance
Sudan called the claims baseless and accused Ethiopia of backing RSF fighters with training, supplies and drone activity.
- On Monday, Ethiopian Army Chief Field Marshal Birhanu Jula accused Sudan, Egypt, and Eritrea of backing armed groups fighting federal troops, though he presented no public evidence for the allegations.
- The Tigray People's Liberation Front and six other armed groups formed an alliance to remove Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, triggering heavy clashes in Afar and Amhara that revive fears of a return to the 2020-2022 civil war.
- Fighting has displaced at least 150,000 people in Afar, with TPLF forces seizing the town of Erebti after heavy artillery fire and threatening critical supply routes from Djibouti that carry nearly all of Ethiopia's international trade cargo.
- Sudan's military dismissed the allegations as "baseless," affirming commitment to international law, while countering that Ethiopia is facilitating training and drone supplies for the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces operating within Sudan.
- Regional tensions remain high following Ethiopia's September 2025 inauguration of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam , as disputes over operation rules and water rights continue to strain relations between Addis Ababa and downstream nations.
