Who fought in Tigray?
The Tigray conflict primarily involved the Ethiopian federal government and its allies, including Eritrean forces, against the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF). The US sanctions on Eritrea, now lifted, were initially imposed due to Eritrea's involvement in this conflict, highlighting the international concern over the fighting.
