Asmara emerges as a key player in regional tensions, with Eritrea seeking renewed international engagement amid escalating Red Sea conflicts, Addis Standard reports.

Ethiopia reaffirms its right to self-defence while Eritrean territory continues to orchestrate attacks, Horn Review notes.

Meanwhile, the UK threatens visa bans on Eritreans over migrant returns disputes, as diplomatic relations between Eritrea and Western nations remain strained, per Addis Standard.
