Fighting intensifies between Tigray rebel alliance and Ethiopia's military
A newly formed rebel alliance in Tigray has clashed with Ethiopian government forces, according to Al Jazeera.
Fighting has intensified between Ethiopia's military and a newly formed rebel alliance in the Tigray region, according to a report from Al Jazeera.
The clashes mark a renewed escalation in a region that has already experienced significant conflict in recent years. The report did not provide further details on the specific locations of the fighting, the scale of forces involved, or any resulting casualties.
A fragile region
Tigray, in northern Ethiopia, was the site of a major civil war between 2020 and 2022 that drew international concern over its humanitarian toll. A ceasefire agreement had since sought to stabilize the region, though tensions have persisted.
The formation of a new rebel alliance and its clashes with federal forces suggest that underlying tensions in the region remain unresolved. Al Jazeera's report did not specify the identity or composition of the alliance, nor did it detail the Ethiopian government's response to the latest fighting.
Further information on the situation, including any efforts toward de-escalation, was not immediately available.
