Egypt expels an Ethiopian diplomat in 'application of the principle of reciprocity' amid escalating tensions in Tigray

Egypt has expelled an Ethiopian diplomat in response to Addis Ababa expelling one of its diplomats without declaring a reason. An Egyptian official accused Ethiopia of blaming external parties for its 'consecutive internal crises,' confirming that Egypt's decision was taken 'in application of the principle of reciprocity,' after Ethiopia accused Egypt, Sudan, and Eritrea this week of supporting the Tigray People's Liberation Front.
