Fighting in Ethiopia has escalated sharply after the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) declared a “full blown” war against the federal government this week, according to France 24.
The TPLF has formed a coalition with six other armed groups across Ethiopia, all united in their objective to overthrow Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government.
As of Friday, September 25, reports indicate that an additional armed group has joined this alliance, further intensifying the conflict on multiple fronts.
