The London School of Economics and Political Science posted on 31 January 2022 a commentary titled "Eritrea's Involvement in Tigray Could Backfire" by Richard Reid, University of Oxford.
The author argues that Eritrea has pursued an opportunistic foreign policy to gain regional superiority at Ethiopia's expense. A weakened and disunited Ethiopia is in Eritrea's interest. But this is a risky policy if Tigray Region rejoins the central government and results in a new threat to Eritrea.
