To get an idea of the seriousness of the atrocities Eritrea committed back then, my investigation from February 2021 for VICE World News, on the ethnic cleansing campaign and civilian massacres it carried out.
Three years later, legal scholars would deem these atrocities and others to have been genocide.

N.B Iran observers: For the USA to go as far as warming up to Eritrea, a country it long viewed as irrelevant... over its Red Sea oil corridor in this manner, I interpret this as a move forming part of an effort to soften the economic fallout that comes with accepting that "Epic Fury" will not achieve its Hormuz related objectives. This despite no one in the Trump admin publicly admitting it. The good thing from this is it appears that the US is looking for alternatives from war with Iran.
