UAE condemns Tigray rebel attacks on Ethiopian forces
The UAE strongly condemned attacks by the Tigray People's Liberation Front and its armed coalition on Ethiopian federal forces, including the seizure of regional airports and escalation in the Afar and Amhara regions. Abu Dhabi called the developments a threat to Ethiopia's unity and sovereignty, as separate reports said Ethiopian forces killed more than 400 TPLF fighters in renewed clashes.
Why it matters
The UAE statement reflects Gulf concern over stability in the Horn of Africa, a region tied to Red Sea and Gulf of Aden shipping security. Renewed fighting in Tigray, years after the Pretoria peace deal, risks reigniting a humanitarian crisis with regional spillover.
