Description

The Eritrean PFDJ government has actively participated in the conflict against Ethiopia's Tigray region since it began in November 2020, supporting the Ethiopian government. Regularly, Eritrea dispatched Eritrean Defence Force (EDF) troops to aid the Ethiopian National Defence Forces (ENDF) in their conflict with the Tigray region. Following the Eritrean admission of its involvement, the Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, however, minimized the scope of the Eritrean participation throughout the conflict and tended to confine it to the Ethio-Eritrean border regions. Here we present a dataset of repeated video images, allowing the examination of the coordination between the Ethiopian and Eritrean armies in the war in late 2020, deep within Tigray. The warfare imagery was accurately placed near Miheni in Inderta district, and shows unequivocally that Eritrean forces participated in fighting in Tigray in close coordination with the Ethiopian army. It is 180 kilometers, or 102 kilometers as the crow flies, to the Eritrean border from Miheni.
