The press statement released by the Eritrean Embassy in Washington and amplified by the Ministry of Information on December 3 is not accurate.
Eritrean forces in northern Ethiopia have blocked access to humanitarian assistance. They have also committed serious and widespread human rights abuses, including rape and the killing of children, as documented by the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission, the Ethiopian Attorney General, and numerous others.
The United States calls on Eritrea to permanently and immediately withdraw its forces from Ethiopia.
Eritrea’s continued misguided military involvement in the conflict in northern Ethiopia is destabilizing the region, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian situation, and hindering efforts to achieve a negotiated solution to the conflict.
