Hundreds of people have fled renewed fighting in northern Ethiopia, deepening fears that the region could slide back into full-scale civil war. Local sources say clashes in recent days have emptied villages, with families seeking shelter in safer areas.
At the root of the tension is a peace agreement, meant to end the earlier conflict, that has not been fully implemented. Commitments on disarmament and governance arrangements remain only partially fulfilled, leaving mistrust between the parties unresolved.
Humanitarian organizations say they are struggling to reach displaced families. Regional and international mediators are urging the parties back to the table, warning that conditions on the ground could deteriorate quickly.
