The Escalation of War in Ethiopia
On the escalation of war in EthiopiaThe coming proxy wars will be devastating for civilians and do little to improve governance and human welfare in Ethiopia and the wider HornKen OpaloOct 01, 202667719ShareThank you for being a regular reader of An Africanist Perspective. After months of building tensions, on 23 September large-scale hostilities broke out between the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) and Amhara Fano militias, on one side, and the federal government and allied Tigrayan forces on the other. Responsibility for the escalation lies primarily with the TPLF, which launched ground assaults in coordination with other rebels with whom it has joined hands in a new alliance that vows to overthrow Ethiopia’s government.
