Ethiopia clashes escalate amid Tigray blackout
The article addresses the escalation of clashes and outages in northern Ethiopia amidst rising tensions between the federal government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front. The international group "NetBlocks" reported internet disconnection in the area, coinciding with intense fighting that continued throughout the night between federal forces and rebels in the Afar and Amhara regions, where drones and warplanes were used. Sources also announced the death of 272 Tigray Front fighters and the injury of 260 others. Meanwhile, residents have been stockpiling essentials as the situation on the ground deteriorates, amid warnings of an imminent attack. The government claimed that an attack was about to be carried out before a coalition opposed to the government emerged, aiming to overthrow it—marking a shift in the scene that has persisted since the start of the war in 2020.
