Ethiopia's government alleged on Friday that Eritrean forces had crossed its border and taken control of areas in the country's north. In a letter, Foreign Minister Gedion Timothewos cited Ethiopia's entitlement to self-defence, as outlined in Article 51 of the UN Charter. Eritrea, in turn, urged the UN Security Council on Saturday to condemn Ethiopia's "declaration of war" and take deterrent measures.
