Fighting between Ethiopian federal forces and rebel groups appears to be intensifying, with the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) saying this week that it is engaged in a "full-blown" war with the government.
The escalation follows a declaration by Tigrayan rebels that they had formed a coalition with six other armed groups across Ethiopia, with the stated aim of overthrowing Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government.
As of Friday, at least one additional armed group was reported to have joined the alliance, suggesting the anti-government coalition may be broadening its base of support.
The conflict is being watched closely from Addis Ababa, where the widening alliance of armed groups raises questions about the stability of the federal government amid fighting on multiple fronts.
