France24 World · world

Ethiopian military forces and allied militiamen have reportedly captured a strategic town in the Tigray region. This development comes after an opposition offensive launched from the area last week. The renewed fighting in Tigray and the neighboring Amhara and Afar regions signifies the collapse of a four-year-old peace agreement. This escalation raises concerns about the potential for a wider conflict in the region.
