Ethiopian federal forces entered Mekelle, the capital of Tigray, after nearly two weeks of fierce fighting. An alliance of rebel groups, including the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), withdrew from the city.
The fighting that erupted late last month has effectively ended the 2022 Pretoria ceasefire and the fragile peace that followed the devastating Tigray war.
Regional ties under pressure
The renewed conflict is testing Ethiopia’s already strained relations with its neighbours. The source does not say whether any neighbouring countries plan to intervene or what steps they might take.
