Eritrea's Final War

 Ethiopia Insight posted on 25 June 2021 a commentary titled "Eritrea's Last War" by Kjetil Tronvol, Bjorknes University College, Oslo. 

The author compares today's Eritrea to ancient Sparta with its never ending military service and constant war campaigns.  He reports that tens of thousands of Eritrean troops are fighting and dying in Tigray Region of Ethiopia.  But if Eritrean President Isaias Afewerki fails in Tigray, the author suggests it may lead to his downfall.
