Renewed fighting between Ethiopian federal forces and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) has forced hundreds of people to flee into Sudan, raising concerns about stability in northern Ethiopia.
The clashes began near Shererina, close to the Sudanese border, marking one of the most significant confrontations since the 2022 African Union-brokered peace agreement ended the Tigray civil war. Both sides have blamed each other for the violence.
Key developments:
- Abraham Belay, Ethiopia’s minister, confirmed clashes and urged dialogue while accusing the TPLF of initiating the fighting.
- Reports indicate heavy artillery and drone use during the weekend’s clashes.
- Civilians and injured fighters crossed into Sudan as violence continued.
- Western Tigray remains a disputed area, fuelling concerns over renewed conflict and wider regional instability.
