"...The UN has raised concerns about atrocities committed in Tigray during the conflict, while US secretary of state Antony Blinken has described acts carried out in the region as ethnic cleansing, accusations that Ethiopia has denied."

This is an old news. When the Woyanie Tigrayan forces attacked the Ethiopian national defense forces stationed in Tigray and pursued them crossing into Eritrean borders, the Eritrean defense forces struck back at the invading Tigrayan forces. By doing so, they protected the Ethiopians who were victims of the Tigrayans.
In November 2020, in the early days of that war, the PM Abiy said, we are grateful to our dear Eritrean brothers for providing support to our forces when we badly needed it.

Ethiopia finally admits Eritrean troops entered Tigray during recent conflict

Addis Ababa — Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed confirmed for the first time on Tuesday that troops from neighbouring Eritrea entered the northern Tigray region during the five-month-old conflict, the first such acknowledgement after months of denials.

In a parliamentary address, he also acknowledged for the first time that atrocities such as rape had been committed during the fighting, and promised perpetrators would be punished.

Fighting erupted in Tigray after forces loyal to the then-governing party there — the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) — attacked army bases across the region overnight and in the early hours of November 4.

The attacks initially overwhelmed the federal military, which later launched a counter-offensive alongside Eritrean soldiers and forces from the neighbouring region of Amhara.

The TPLF, which dominated Ethiopia’s government for nearly three decades until Abiy came to power in 2018, has long been an arch-enemy of Eritrea.

Abiy said Eritrean troops had crossed the border because they were concerned they would be attacked by TPLF forces, but the Eritreans had promised to leave when Ethiopia’s military was able to control the border. The TPLF repeatedly fired rockets at Eritrea after the conflict began.

The governments of both Eritrea and Ethiopia repeatedly denied Eritrea’s involvement in the war, despite reports from rights groups such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, which documented the killings of hundreds of civilians by Eritrean soldiers in the city of Axum.

Reuters journalists on a trip to Tigray last week saw hundreds of men wearing Eritrean uniforms in buses with Eritrean plates on the main road between the regional capital Mekelle and Shire, and on the main streets of Shire.

Abiy quoted the Eritreans as saying to Ethiopian authorities: “You left the trenches while searching for the enemy in central Tigray. So, while you attacked them, they might come to us. We controlled areas along the border because we have our national security concerns. But if your army can control the trenches, we will leave the next day.”

He said the Ethiopian government had also raised accusations of widespread looting and rights abuses by Eritrean soldiers in Tigray. “The Eritrean government has highly condemned it and said they will be accountable if any of their army participated in this,” he said.

Dozens of witnesses in Tigray said that Eritrean soldiers routinely killed civilians, gang-raped and tortured women, and looted civilian households and crops. Some provided images of Eritrean trucks loaded with household goods.

Eritrea’s minister of information was not immediately available for comment.

Atrocities

Abiy also addressed reports of abuses by Ethiopian soldiers.

“There were atrocities that were committed in the Tigray region ... reports indicate that atrocities were being committed by raping women and looting properties,” he said, without naming the forces accused. “Any member of the national defence who committed rape and looting will be held accountable.”

But Tigray’s police service is not functioning and civilian authorities have said they have no ability to investigate the military.

The UN has raised concerns about atrocities committed in Tigray during the conflict, while US secretary of state Antony Blinken has described acts carried out in the region as ethnic cleansing, accusations that Ethiopia has denied.

Abiy also addressed a border dispute with Sudan, which is hosting about 60,000 refugees from Tigray and which is in dispute with Ethiopia over a giant hydropower dam that Ethiopia is building on the Blue Nile.

Abiy sought to cool tensions over disputed farmland on the border, where dozens have been killed in low-level clashes.

“Sudan is a brotherly country. We don’t want to fight with Sudan,” Abiy said. “Sudan is not in a position to fight against any neighbours, it has many problems. Ethiopia also has many problems; we are not ready to go to battle so we don’t need war. It is better to settle it in a peaceful manner.”
