Rebel forces in Ethiopia's Tigray state condemn army drone strikes
Rebel authorities in Ethiopia's Tigray state accused the federal government of carrying out deadly drone strikes in southern Tigray and condemned the move as a 'serious escalation,' amid fears of a new war.
Rebel authorities in Ethiopia's Tigray state on Tuesday accused the federal government of carrying out deadly drone strikes in southern Tigray, describing the strikes as a 'serious escalation' amid fears that fighting could reignite.
The accusations come at a time when a fragile peace has held in Tigray since a 2022 ceasefire agreement. The renewed tension points to a deterioration in relations between the federal government and Tigray's regional authorities in recent months.
International observers say that if confirmed, the strikes could seriously jeopardize the ceasefire. Ethiopia's federal government has not yet issued an official response to the accusations.
