Quietly there's a chilling move from total denial of the involvement of Eritrea in the war in #Tigray (which is treason & abdication by will of territorial integrity & sovereignty), to admission & justification. As such  @Nathanael_Ali's take here is no surprise.
What it means, effectively, is that PM Abiy can now move from reassuring the UN's @antonioguterres that #Eritrea wasn't involved, to telling him and ud: 'look, I actually lied. But there is good reason & justification for it, which would have made sense had I told you then.'
But why is the talk about the presence of Eritrean forces anymore instead of the war crimes of all forms (pillaging, rape), the impending potential famine, economic & cultural destructions in Tigray that they are a part of? Unless we agree all is being committed by Eth forces?
What local or international law can the author bring to the argument to justify the involvement of foreign army in pursuit of 'law enforcement', which morphed into war crimes & crimes against humanity? Or are we going to deny that too, like we denied the involvement itself?
