According to the update published on October 13 by the global organization Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (ACLED), which monitors conflicts, eyewitnesses reported that a large convoy carrying many tanks and heavy weapons moved from Adigrat to the direction of Fatsi and Zalambessa, during the shipment that started on the night of October 12 and continued on October 13.

It was noted that the shipment of tanks and heavy weapons took place after Ethiopian federal forces and the state-supporting Tigray Peace Force took control of Fatsi and Zalambessa on the Eritrean border on October 12.

ACLED reported that the Eritrean troops deployed on this line withdrew to their country via Zalambessa, while the forces affiliated with the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) moved towards Debre Damo and Irob.

In the organization's latest update, it was stated that federal forces and their allies also entered Aksum, and TPLF-affiliated forces are in the mountainous rural areas near the city.

In his letter dated October 8, Ethiopian Minister of Foreign Affairs Gedion Timothewos claimed that Eritrean troops had entered his country's territory and asked for the withdrawal of troops and informed the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) that Ethiopia had no choice but to defend itself.

Eritrea, on the other hand, rejected Ethiopia's justification of self-defense, accused Addis Ababa of trying to gain access to the Red Sea by force, and asked the UNSC to take deterrent measures. In Eritrea's response letter, the claim that troops had entered Ethiopia was not explicitly confirmed or denied.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres also called on the parties to immediately stop the conflicts and return to dialogue within the framework of the Pretoria Agreement, warning that the tension could further weaken regional stability.

The Pretoria Agreement was signed in November 2022 after the conflicts between the Ethiopian federal government and the TPLF in the 2020-2022 period. Conflicts that intensified again in September increase concerns about the future of the agreement.

Open Questions

  • Will the presence of Eritrean troops in Ethiopian territory be confirmed?
  • Will the Pretoria Agreement become completely invalid?

Louvre Museum President Jean-Luc Martinez stated that urgent construction work is continuing for the security of the museum, new security cameras and protection measures have been taken, the surrounding railings have been renewed, and valuable artifacts have been moved to a safe place after the robbery on October 19, 2025. He noted that there was an 8% decrease in the number of visitors due to extreme heat in the summer months. He said that repair work has begun on the deterioration of the museum's structure, stairs, lighting and air conditioning systems, and that they have not ruled out the possibility of increasing the entrance fees to a reasonable level. He emphasized that the renovation plan within the scope of the 'New Renaissance of the Louvre' could take up to 15 years and that the new government after the 2027 Presidential elections should allow these works.
