Jul 20 , 2025.

Tsegab Kebebew, Ethiopia’s permanent representative to the United Nations in Vienna, made a sharp rebuke of Eritrea during remarks at the UN Human Rights Council two weeks ago, accusing the Red Sea country of posing a grave threat to Ethiopia’s national security. He said an “extraordinary situation,” which compelled his country to adopt a firmer posture toward its northern neighbour. He charged Eritrea with committing gross human rights violations in areas it continues to occupy.
