非洲联盟委员会周四呼吁埃塞俄比亚、厄立特里亚和埃及保持最大限度克制，此前因地区海港准入、水资源以及非洲之角军事联盟的变动等争端，三国间紧张局势升级。委员会在一份声明中表示，正“密切关注并深表关切”事态升级。
The African Union Commission called Thursday on Ethiopia, Eritrea and Egypt to exercise maximum restraint amid heightened tensions between the three countries driven by disputes over regional seaport access, water resources and shifting military alliances in the Horn of Africa. In a statement, the commission said it was “closely following with concern” the escalating tensions.
声明敦促这三个非盟成员国“保持最大限度克制，避免采取可能进一步升级紧张局势、破坏地区和平与稳定的行动或发表相关言论”。委员会还强调保持沟通渠道畅通的重要性，并敦促各国根据《非盟组织法》原则，通过既定外交渠道和和平对话解决分歧。
It urged the three African Union member states to “exercise maximum restraint and refrain from actions or statements that could further escalate tensions and undermine regional peace and stability.”The commission also stressed the importance of keeping communication channels open and urged the countries to resolve their differences through established diplomatic channels and peaceful dialogue in accordance with the principles of the African Union’s Constitutive Act.
声明称：“非盟委员会已准备好在与有关国家磋商的基础上，支持缓和局势、对话及和平解决分歧的努力。”
“The AU Commission stands ready, in consultation with the countries concerned, to support efforts towards de-escalation, dialogue and the peaceful resolution of differences,” it said.
埃塞俄比亚外交部周四在致埃及驻亚的斯亚贝巴大使馆的一份外交照会中宣布，大使馆雇员艾哈迈德·莫哈拉姆·艾哈迈德·苏莱曼被列为“不受欢迎的人”，并责令其在48小时内离境。
In a diplomatic note sent to Egypt's embassy in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Thursday that embassy employee Ahmed Moharam Ahmed Soliman had been declared persona non grata and ordered to leave the country within 48 hours.
同日，埃塞俄比亚决定关闭其驻厄立特里亚首都阿斯马拉的大使馆，并宣布10名厄立特里亚外交官为“不受欢迎的人”。厄立特里亚随即回应决定与埃塞俄比亚断绝外交关系。
On the same day, Ethiopia decided to close its embassy in Eritrea’s capital Asmara and declared 10 Eritrean diplomats persona non grata. Eritrea responded by deciding to sever diplomatic relations with Ethiopia.
这些举措是在埃塞俄比亚北部联邦军队与提格雷人民解放阵线（TPLF）冲突重燃之际作出的。
The moves were made at a time when clashes had resumed between federal forces and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) in northern Ethiopia.
这些国家之间的摩擦主要由复杂的地缘政治争端所驱动，包括内陆国家埃塞俄比亚为确保海上通道而引发的红海港口准入分歧、埃及与埃塞俄比亚之间围绕埃塞俄比亚复兴大坝的长期水资源争端，以及非洲之角地区不断变化的军事与安全联盟。
The friction between the nations is heavily driven by complex geopolitical disputes, including disagreements over Red Sea seaport access following landlocked Ethiopia's efforts to secure maritime routes, long-standing water resource disputes regarding the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam between Egypt and Ethiopia, and shifting military and security alliances across the Horn of Africa.
