Fighting continues in northern Ethiopia, eight days after a broad offensive was launched by an alliance of several armed opposition groups. The clashes have caused numerous civilian casualties in the Tigray region, according to reports.
The federal government, based in Addis Ababa, accuses three neighboring countries of backing the Tigrayan rebels: Eritrea, Sudan and Egypt. The accusations come as the security situation deteriorates in a region already scarred by a deadly conflict in recent years.
No immediate official reaction has been reported from Asmara, Khartoum or Cairo regarding these accusations. The continued fighting has raised fears of a worsening humanitarian crisis for residents of the affected area.
The situation continues to be closely monitored by regional observers, in a context where several outside actors are regularly cited in the dynamics of the Tigray conflict.
