Prism keeps a sentence only when at least two write-ups share the same core details. Adjectives that signal a take are stripped. This is not a verdict — it is the overlapping record.
Headlines in this cluster diverge enough that no sentence repeated cleanly. Shared names and figures are listed below; treat single-source claims as unverified here.
Claims that appeared in only one write-up, each labeled by outlet.
News: Russia offers to host Ethiopia–Eritrea talks amid rising tensions.
Ethiopia-Eritrea war fears, Gaza military base blocked, and Kabila’s new coalition: The Cheat Sheet.
UK statement on escalating tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea: 15 October.
Sources are ordered left → neutral → right so the spread is visible. Stance is a coarse editorial label for comparison, not a moral score. Timestamps are the time each item entered the feed.
