notes: Around 21 November 2020 (as reported), unspecified security forces (presumed to be SAF pending further information) attacked a convoy of 10 vehicles smuggling subsidized goods into Eritrea at an unspecified location in Kassala locality (Kassala state) [coded to Abu Gamal]. In the firefight, a prominent smuggler was wounded and later died in Kassala hospital from blood loss. Smuggling has reportedly increased after Eritrean border forces have been redeployed due to ongoing military activity in Tigray.
