Didn't the region that's being "invaded" have a mini coup and some assassinations within the last couple of years?

I don't think Egypt is to blame and I doubt it's over the dam

Well thus far Abiy has survived an assassination attempt and a coup attempt in his time in office. It’s been a power struggle from the beginning.

I personally think Egypt is involved, albeit in the shadows, they’ve always been the silent benefactors of separatist and terrorist movements in Ethiopia. Eritrea’s independence movement gains major steam once Egypt threw its weight behind the ELF due to attempts by the Selassie regime to build a dam on the Nile. With that said, their participation is most likely nominal and this is moreso an internal conflict and power struggle.

Gotcha. But wasn't there an assassination spree in the Amara region maybe a coup? The issue now is in the Tigray region? Are these things connected?

What's going on in Eritrea these day?

Why are refugees fleeing to Sudan instead of Eritrea?

Yeah, that incident in Amhara had to do with senior military officials being killed during the attempted coup in Bahir Dar which is a mid major city in Amhara. Tigray and Amhara have a land dispute in which its alleged that the TPLF annexed part of Amhara when they re-drew the maps so that’s been a flashpoint ever since.

Eritrea is quietly sitting and observing but TPLF sympathizers are claiming that they’ve crossed the border and are collaborating with Abiy to destroy the TPLF permanently. Whether it’s true or not is hard to say since there’s no or hardly any info getting out from the front. Out of all the neighboring countries however, Eritrea is the one most likely to jump into the fray if provoked. Things for the TPLF crossed a point of no return when Abiy made peace with Asmara and sidelined the TPLF in those talks including the end of the border disputes which saw some Tigray territory awarded to Eritrea, namely the small but flashpoint town of Badme right on the border.

Eritrea and the TPLF have a long standing feud going back to the border war at the turn of the century which is a major reason why Ethiopia and Eritrea were in a Cold War for years. So naturally, Tigrayans feel more comfortable in Sudan given there isn’t a history of rivalry. The irony of course being that Tigrayans control much of Eritrea as well. But Eritrean Tigrayans and Ethiopian Tigrayans view each other with much suspicion.

:damn: This is about to turn into a full blown regional war. @JDH @2Quik4UHoes


My Eribreh said this guy is a sensationalist that used to work for Susan Rice to demonized Eritrea. So I dunno I guess take it with a grain of salt. Either way, it’s a lot of long overdue shyt going down. Abiy and Isaias gotta stay low, any assassination will turn this shyt upside down fr.

Also:

TPLF admitted they fired the first shot that started this conflict.

TPLF have yet to deny their fighters were involved in the Mai Cadra massacre which Amnesty and the UN are ruling a war crime

Abiy wouldn’t of taken these actions to begin with without referring to Isaias first so high likelihood that Eritrean forces are at the ready should this escalate to include them.

Eritrea holding back for now but it’s only a matter of time. TPLF criminals want the whole region to turn into Libya while they escape with their millions and use their people as cannon fodder. The noose is getting tighter tho so they gon get more desperate and commit more war crimes.

34 people massacred on a bus traveling in Western Ethiopia in the Benishangul region. Depending on who this is and the motivations this could get much worse.

Waiting to find a link from a major outlet but I saw the report on Al Jazeera English
