Although Ethiopia claims it now controls the northern province of Tigray, the conflict continues. Moreover, there are allegations that Eritrea is now assisting Ethiopian forces. This has led to accusations that Eritrean troops sent to Tigray have committed a number of atrocities, including a massacre in the historic city of Axum. However, for many outside observers, such cooperation might seem strange. After all, Eritrea and Ethiopia have a longstanding history of tensions. Indeed, they fought a bloody war in 1998-2000 that only officially came to an end with a peace agreement in 2018. But scratch beneath the surface and the reasons for Eritrea's involvement in crisis become clearer. So, why have Eritrea and Ethiopia united to fight the Tigray War?

The conflict in Tigray increasingly poses the threat of a major humanitarian catastrophe in the Horn of Africa. However, a desperate situation seems to be becoming all the worse with widespread claims that Eritrea has now sent in troops to assist Ethiopia and that they have been involved in war crimes, including a massacre in Axum. This has prompted demands for their withdrawal from both the European Union and the United States. However, the fact that Eritrea and Ethiopia are fighting alongside each other might seem strange given their past history. Eritrea fought a 30-year war of independence from Ethiopia and then Eritrea and Ethiopia fought a bitter border war from 1998-2000. But, as it shown, the issue goes back to the relationship between the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) and the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) during their joint effort to overthrow the military government in Ethiopia in the 1970s and 1980s.
