Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I wanted to pursue the Eritrean involvement for a bit longer. If there's one thing that Eritreans have traditionally felt strongly about, it's that Ethiopia is the great threat to their security. I was in Eritrea a few years ago, and I was struck that in a country that's very diverse the one thing that united everybody was their fear of Ethiopia.
Now it appears that some kind of military alliance has been forged, and I'm just trying to sort out why this happened. From the Eritrean point of view, what do they see? What's the advantage to them in strengthening Ethiopia's hold over Tigray? I would have thought they would want the opposite.
I'm not sure who I should go to for an answer on that question. It mystifies me.
