Djibouti's president has said his country will have to go to war with Eritrea unless the UN acts to resolve growing tension over a border dispute.
Djibouti has accused Eritrea of invading its territory and its ambassador to the UN told the BBC that Eritrea had been avoiding mediation.
But his Eritrean counterpart said Eritrea had no territorial ambitions.
Both France and the US have troops in Djibouti. Its border with Eritrea is at a key strategic point on the Red Sea.
Djibouti's President Omah Guelleh appealed on Thursday to the UN Security Council to help resolve the dispute.
"Continued inaction in whatever form not only will encourage but will benefit Eritrea's attitude," he said.
"This would only give my country one option, the option of war."
