Internet disruptions in northern Ethiopia amid clashes
Northern Ethiopia is experiencing an internet outage amid escalating fighting between the government forces led by Abiy Ahmed and Tigray People's Liberation Front fighters. Data from NetBlocks show that networks have been shut down across the region, as Tigray fighters have seized airports and launched attacks on neighboring states. There is concern that this could repeat the scenario of communication and supply blockades seen during the previous civil war (2020-2022). The atmosphere of full-scale war is increasing, with Tigray's efforts to advance toward Addis Ababa and cut supply lines. Meanwhile, prices of goods are soaring, and there is widespread panic among the population. These developments come after intensified attacks on the Amhara and Afar regions, with fierce clashes over areas of significant historical importance, according to humanitarian reports. The government forces have retreated to the point of direct confrontation with the Tigray forces, amid warnings of worsening humanitarian and economic conditions in the area.
