Seven Ethiopian rebel groups form new alliance
Seven Ethiopian rebel groups have formed a new coalition named the Alliance for Survival to overthrow the federal government and establish a transitional administration. The alliance unites major insurgent forces from the Amhara, Oromia, and Tigray regions, along with smaller groups from three other states, citing government failure and ongoing conflict as their primary motivations. Federal authorities have not yet responded to the announcement, though Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has previously expressed confidence in the country's defensive capabilities despite recent tensions.
- ▪The new alliance includes the Fano militia, the Oromo Liberation Army, the Tigray People's Liberation Front, and four other smaller groupings.
- ▪The coalition accuses Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government of presiding over war, genocide, and poverty, claiming the country is at risk of disintegration.
- ▪The alliance represents armed groups from six of Ethiopia's twelve regional states, including Oromia, Amhara, Tigray, Ogaden, Afar, and Benishangul-Gumuz.
- ▪Ethiopia recently held a general election in which Abiy's Prosperity Party retained its majority, a result rejected by the Fano and OLA groups.
- ▪Renewed tensions in the Tigray region have raised fears of a return to full-scale conflict despite the 2022 African Union peace deal.
