Eritrean Forces Cross Border into Ethiopia's Tigray Region

Eritrean military forces have reportedly crossed into Ethiopia's Tigray region, according to eyewitness accounts from residents. Locals in Adigrat, a city in northern Tigray, have observed significant movements of Eritrean soldiers and equipment.

Multiple residents stated they had seen lorry loads of troops from Eritrea advancing southwards from the border. These reports suggest a continued foreign military presence within Ethiopia, despite previous official claims of troop withdrawals.

The movements raise questions regarding the ongoing security situation in Tigray, which has experienced profound devastation and civilian displacement from the recent conflict. External military involvement has consistently complicated efforts towards establishing lasting peace and stability in the region.
