Reports reaching the international community today indicate that the Eritrea-Ethiopia border has reached its most unstable state since the 2018 peace deal. According to security sources and residents in the northern corridor, Eritrean Defense Forces have established a visible presence along the Mekelle-Adigrat-Zalambessa axis. Local reports suggest that some Eritrean units are infiltrating through Sudanese transit points near Humera, occasionally disguising themselves to blend in with local populations. The 'frozen peace' established by the 2022 Pretoria Agreement appears to be unravelling as Ethiopia renews its push for access to the Port of Assab, which Eritrea views as a threat to its sovereignty. Military sources indicate that while a full-scale invasion has not occurred, the frequency of patrols and the depth of incursions into Ethiopian-administered territory have significantly increased, forcing thousands of civilians in border towns to prepare for potential displacement.
