Tigray declares defensive war, seizes airport
Ethiopia is experiencing an escalation in the conflict between the Tigray Regional Government and the central government, after Tigray fighters took control of the airport in the regional capital, Mekelle, according to security and local sources. The Tigray government announced that its fighters are engaged in a "defensive war" against government forces, following their attack and seizure of the airports, which has led to the suspension of flights to and from the region. This escalation comes after a period of increasing tensions and a prolonged war that lasted from 2020 to 2022, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths, with concerns mounting over the potential outbreak of a new war in the area.
