Chinese involvement

The first source cited in the infobox regarding Chinese support to the rebels describes Chinese support to Eritrean separatists ending in 1972: "China assisted the ELF with weapons and military training until 1972, when Ethiopian recognition of Beijing as the legitimate Chinese government led to China’s abandonment of the Eritrean struggle." This article covers the conflict from 1974 to 1991.

The second source does not exist and either the title or the year was stated incorrectly. There is no 2009 edition of Chinese and African Perspectives on China in Africa. CentreLeftRight ✉ 01:12, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infox with "combatants"

I think the "Ethiopian Empire" should not be in the same column as the other factions; more - I am not sure that the Ethipian Empire (and Haile Selassie as a commander) should have a place in the infobox at all; the war was, essentially, after the fall of the empire.--MiguelMadeira (talk) 16:12, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
