Getachew Reda has accused Eritrea of working with armed groups and receiving Egyptian support to destabilize Ethiopia።

Getachew Reda alleged during an interview with Pulse of Africa that Eritrea is working to destabilize Ethiopia and widen conflict across the Horn of Africa.
He claimed that Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki’s government is coordinating with armed groups and receiving support from Egypt.
