New fighting in Ethiopia's Tigray region raises fears of a return to the country's civil war

Fighting has erupted in Ethiopia's northern Tigray region between Tigray forces and Ethiopian federal troops, raising fears of a return to civil war despite the 2022 Pretoria peace agreement. Both sides present conflicting narratives, with Tigray accusing Addis Ababa of a "genocidal invasion" and the federal government framing it as a coordinated threat from opposition groups.
