France 24 reports that recently authenticated images clearly show the presence of Eritrean troops inside the Tigray region in Ethiopia.

This revelation comes as Ethiopian authorities have accused Eritrea since September 23 of supporting rebels engaged in conflict with the federal army. Until now, these accusations had not been supported by any public evidence, and Asmara had formally denied them.
