Ethiopia: New coalition of seven armed groups hostile to government
An Ethiopian rebel leader announces an alliance of seven armed groups aimed at overthrowing Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government, raising fears of regional spillover.
An Ethiopian rebel leader has announced the formation of a new coalition bringing together seven armed groups opposed to the Ethiopian government, with the stated objective of overthrowing the ruling party led by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and establishing a transitional government.
The announcement comes as war rages in neighboring Sudan, reviving fears that armed conflicts previously isolated in Ethiopia could escalate into a broader regional war involving several countries in the Horn of Africa.
The formation of this alliance of seven groups reflects increased coordination among various armed movements opposed to the Ethiopian government, against a backdrop of persistent internal tensions in the country over several years.
Details were provided by France 24's correspondent in Addis Ababa, Tom Canetti, who is monitoring developments in the security situation in the region.
The stated objective of establishing a transitional government suggests a possible intensification of political and military tensions in Ethiopia in the coming months, with potential repercussions for regional stability.
