Ethiopia Mobilises for War in Northern Tigray Region

News 18  

Ethiopia mobilised for war in the northern Tigray region on Thursday, dashing international hopes of averting a conflict between Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government and the powerful ethnic faction that led the ruling coalition for decades. The announcement followed clashes on Wednesday between government forces and the Tigray People's Liberation Front, after Abiy ordered retaliation for what the government described as a TPLF attack on its troops. The conflict pits government troops against the TPLF, for decades the dominant political force in the country's multi-ethnic ruling coalition, until Abiy, a member of the Oromo ethnic group, took office two years ago. "We are deeply concerned by reports that the Tigray People's Liberation Front carried out attacks on Ethiopian National Defense Force bases in Ethiopia's Tigray region," Pompeo wrote.
