Tigrayan authorities in turn told their people to get ready for war. The Eritreans are fighting alongside Ethiopian federal forces, including commando units, as well as allied militia, according to Tigray spokesman Getachew Reda. It was not immediately possible to obtain comment from authorities in Ethiopia or Eritrea, which lies north of Tigray. Eritrean forces fought on the side of Ethiopian federal troops in Tigray when war started in November 2020. Eritrean forces were implicated in some of the worst atrocities committed in the conflict — charges they deny.
