What are the factors for the collaboration of Eritreans to Italians occupation of Eritrea?

The collaboration of some Eritreans with Italian colonial authorities during their occupation (1890-1941) can be attributed to several factors. Many Eritreans sought economic opportunities and social mobility that the Italians offered, including jobs in the administration and infrastructure projects. Additionally, divisions among Eritrean ethnic groups and local leaders led some to align with the Italians for protection or to gain power. Lastly, the promise of modernization and development by the Italians appealed to certain segments of Eritrean society.
