Renewed fighting in northern Ethiopia effectively shatters 2022 peace deal
Fresh fighting between Ethiopian federal troops and Tigray People's Liberation Front fighters has effectively ended the peace pact that stopped the 2020-2022 war. The TPLF is mobilizing for an armed struggle aimed at removing Ethiopia's federal prime minister.
Renewed fighting in northern Ethiopia on Thursday effectively shattered a peace pact that ended a devastating two-year war in 2022.
The main combatants are Ethiopian federal troops and fighters loyal to the Tigray People's Liberation Front, or TPLF, an armed political group in Tigray, Ethiopia's northernmost regional state.
The TPLF and Ethiopian federal troops waged war between November 2020 and November 2022, when a peace deal was signed in Pretoria, South Africa.
Rebel forces are mobilizing for an armed struggle they hope will lead to the removal of the federal prime minister.
Both sides had been accusing each other of bad faith, and for months some civilians in Tigray expected a return to armed hostilities.
During the earlier conflict, Eritrean troops fought alongside Ethiopian forces against the TPLF. The civilian death toll was estimated by Ghent University researchers to be 500,000.
