The Tigrayan government has blamed Eritrea for the airstrikes that killed six people and destroyed countless buildings.
Why this matter?

Their re-entry as the conflicts restarted was condemned by foreign bodies. The Eritrean government, whose troops had previously engaged in combat in the area with Ethiopian troops, has not responded to the charge.
