📍 Eritrea Sets Strict Conditions for Talks with Ethiopia.
Eritrea has laid out strict preconditions for any negotiations with Ethiopia.

📍 Ethiopia has ordered six Sudanese diplomats serving at the Sudanese consulate in the border town of Assosa to leave the country within 48 hours. No official reason was given for the decision.
📍 Tembien Upgraded to Zone. Tigray’s newly installed caretaker administration has unilaterally upgraded Tembien from a district to a full administrative zone. Critics have condemned the move, arguing that a temporary, unelected administration lacks the democratic mandate to reshape the region’s long-term administrative structure.

The latest fighting follows six days of intense clashes along the Dessie-Woldia highway (A2 road). Civilians have reportedly been displaced by drone strikes and artillery bombardments.
