Ethiopian and Tigrayan authorities accuse each other of launching offensives, raising fears of a renewed war in the northern Ethiopian region. The accusations mark a fresh rise in tensions, with no toll or responsibility for the attacks established in the available information.
The Ethiopian government and Tigrayan authorities are accusing each other of launching offensives in northern Ethiopia, raising fears of a return to full-scale war. Getachew Reda, an adviser to the Ethiopian prime minister and a government minister, says Tigrayan fighters have taken control of airports administered by the federal government in Tigray and launched attacks in the neighbouring regions of Afar and Amhara, the BBC reports.
Tigrayan authorities say their forces were forced into a “defensive war”, following reports of drone strikes in Tigray. The two-year war in the region ended in 2022, but the two sides have accused each other of violating the peace agreement for several months.
