Ethiopia: Tigray Rebels Accuse Abiy Ahmed Government of Drone Strike Near Mekelle | Firstpost Africa

Watch this video as Firstpost examines the growing threat of renewed war in northern Ethiopia after a drone strike near Mekelle, the capital of Tigray. Tigrayan authorities have accused Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government of carrying out the strike, while Ethiopia’s federal army has not commented. The incident comes as federal and Tigrayan forces mobilise and tensions over the 2022 Pretoria peace agreement continue to deepen. The agreement ended Ethiopia’s devastating two-year Tigray war, but disputes over territory, governance and the region’s political future remain unresolved. A new conflict could have consequences far beyond Tigray, with Eritrea, Sudan and Egypt already locked in major regional tensions with Ethiopia. With insurgencies also active in Amhara and Oromia, another Tigray war could destabilise the wider Horn of Africa. For civilians who survived the previous war, the fear of renewed fighting, isolation and another humanitarian crisis is growing. Alyson Le Grange tells you more on Firstpost Africa.
