Fresh fighting in Ethiopia's Tigray region has raised fears the country could be heading toward another civil war, as seven armed groups have joined forces against Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government, according to Al Jazeera.
The alliance notably brings together former enemies who had previously fought on opposing sides, a shift that underscores the shifting and fragile nature of Ethiopia's security landscape following the 2020-2022 Tigray war.
The renewed unrest threatens to reopen wounds from the earlier conflict, which killed hundreds of thousands of people and displaced millions before a peace agreement was reached in 2022.
Ethiopian authorities have not yet detailed their response to the emerging alliance or outlined specific measures to address the escalating tensions in the north of the country.
