Ethiopian authorities have arrested 82 suspected members of the Islamic State group, according to state media and multiple reports. The detainees are believed to have been trained in Somalia's Puntland region and were allegedly preparing to carry out terrorist operations across Ethiopia. The arrests highlight ongoing security challenges in the country amid regional tensions, particularly in northern Ethiopia, where instability persists following the Tigray peace agreement. Eritrea has been reported to be contributing to the unrest by supporting separatist groups that have rearmed quietly.
