Ethiopia faces potential conflict as Tigray controls airports
Rebel forces of the Tigray region took control of airports in its capital, Mekelle, causing significant tensions. Ethiopia is heading toward a full-scale war after a new alliance was announced, consisting of armed groups against Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government. The federal government responded with attacks and vowed to confront what it described as an attempt at genocide. Fierce clashes erupted between the two sides in the Afar region, amid ongoing conflicts that have persisted for years in Oromia and Amhara regions. These developments come months after the formation of an armed coalition aimed at overthrowing the central government, increasing the risk of escalating the civil conflict in the country, which has a population of 130 million.
