Tigrayan rebels have taken control of several airports and clashed with federal forces in Ethiopia's Afar region, raising fears of a return to civil war. The TPLF claims to be responding to federal bombardments, while federal authorities have not yet commented.
Fighting has intensified across Tigray and spread to neighboring regions, pitting federal forces against several armed groups. This escalation follows the formation of a new alliance of armed movements committed to removing Abiy Ahmed's government.
