The extent of Eritrea's involvement in Ethiopia's brutal civil war has been exposed after an Ethiopian general was caught on camera admitting soldiers from the secretive gulag-state had been conscripted to fight in his country.
On Wednesday, a video was released on social media showing Major General Belay Seyoum, the head of the Ethiopian army's northern division, admitting that "a foreign force entered the country" and that Eritrean troops had assisted them.
