Ethiopia accuses Eritrea and Egypt of supporting rebel attack: army chief.
Eritrea allegedly led a new offensive against Ethiopian federal forces, while Egypt provided weapons and logistical support to the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF), Ethiopia's chief of general staff, Birano Jola, told reporters.
While the attacks in the Amhara and Apar regions have been successfully repelled, a wider coalition - including the TPLF, the Amhara-based Pano militia, the Oromo Liberation Front and Egypt - continues to plot the overthrow of the Ethiopian government, he noted.
Neither Eritrea nor Egypt have yet responded to these accusations.
The accusation comes amid a new escalation in northern Ethiopia. The Ethiopian government accused Eritrea of a "total invasion" of its Tigray region as fighting resumed between the Ethiopian Federal Forces and the TPLF.
The video from social media purports to show an Egyptian mercenary caught fighting alongside the TPLF.
