Told you this at the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war. The probability that the Arab Egypt with the help of the Arab appendix of Sudan may attack both Ethiopia and Eritrea is now up around 50%.
The military intelligence communication between the Arab Muslim Egypt and Sudan has increased. The Arabs have concluded that there will not be another better time and opportunity in history to attack Ethiopia than today, while the world community and the superpowers are preoccupied with the Russia-Ukraine war.
Eritrea is watching the situation very carefully. Recently, it sent a high level delegation to South Sudan to understand their stand.
The last war both Ethiopia and Eritrea, then under Abyssinia, faced the Arab Egypt was 1874 and 1876 in Gurae, Gundet and Godagudi (present Eritrea). The Ethiopian–Egyptian War, as it is known now, was a war between the Ethiopian Empire and the Khedivate of Egypt, a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire, from 1874 to 1876. It remains the only war between Egypt and Ethiopia in modern times.

The Ethiopian-Egyptian Water War Has Begun
The conflict between Ethiopia and Egypt over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam has already started. It’s just happening in cyberspace.

It took only a few weeks to plan the cyberattack—and a few more to abandon the world of ethical hacking for the less noble sort. But they would do anything for the Nile, the four young Egyptians agreed.
With that, the group calling themselves the Cyber_Horus Group in late June hacked more than a dozen Ethiopian government sites, replacing each page with their own creation: an image of a skeleton pharaoh, clutching a scythe in one hand and a scimitar in the other. “If the river’s level drops, let all the Pharaoh’s soldiers hurry,” warned a message underneath. “Prepare the Ethiopian people for the wrath of the Pharaohs.”
“There is more power than weapons,” one of the hackers, who asked not to be identified by name, told Foreign Policy. Also, it was a pretty easy job, the hacker added.
A few weeks later and thousands of miles away, a 21-year-old Ethiopian named Liz applied red lipstick and donned a black T-shirt and jeans. She positioned her phone on her desk and started her own kind of online influence campaign: a TikTok video. She danced to a popular Egyptian song underneath the message, “Distracting the Egyptians while we fill the dam.”
