Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

Ethiopian forces and Tigray rebels clash in northern regions as internet services in Tigray face disruption, raising fears of renewed conflict and supply shortages.

Tigray rebels have seized regional airports and launched attacks in Afar and Amhara, with reports of heavy fighting in the North Wollo Zone. The TPLF has formed an alliance with six other groups to challenge the federal government.

Analysts warn of potential supply chain disruptions as the TPLF aims to cut off access to Djibouti, a key trade route. The conflict could draw in neighboring Eritrea and impact regional stability.

Residents in Tigray report panic buying as fears of a return to the 2020-2022 war resurface, with concerns over potential cuts to electricity, telecoms, and basic goods.
