Eritrea withdraws from IGAD, citing breach of mandate
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the withdrawal follows years of concern over the direction and conduct of the regional body. The ministry said Eritrea was deeply involved in IGAD’s renewal in 1993 and worked with other countries to strengthen the organisation so it could help secure peace, stability and economic integration in the region.
