Eritrea severs diplomatic ties with Ethiopia in tit-for-tat move

Ethiopia says it will shut its embassy in Asmara, declares 10 Eritrean diplomats persona non grata. Diplomatic ruptures of this nature — recalling ambassadors, expelling envoys, or imposing targeted sanctions — are a recognised precursor to broader economic or military escalation and significantly reduce the available channels for de-escalation.
