Tigray rebels declare war on Ethiopian federal government
Tigray forces said they are in full-blown war with Ethiopia's federal government after seizing three airports and launching heavy attacks into the Afar and Amhara regions. The moves shattered the 2022 Pretoria peace agreement and involved heavy artillery around border towns such as Yallo and Abala, with fighting near Weldiya on a route toward Addis Ababa. Analysts warn the Afar offensive could aim to sever Ethiopia's Djibouti supply lines. The crisis raises risks of regional escalation involving Eritrea and complicates recent U.S. policy shifts that ended sanctions.
