Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed confirmed for the first time on Tuesday that troops from neighboring Eritrea entered the northern Tigray region during the five-month old conflict.
Abiy said that Eritrean troops had entered along the border because they were concerned they would be attacked by Tigrayan forces, adding that the Eritreans had promised to leave when Ethiopia’s military was able to control the border.
