Is Ethiopia heading back to war in Tigray?

Fears of renewed conflict are escalating in Ethiopia's Tigray region, just over three years after the civil war ended in November 2022. The peace deal between the Ethiopian government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) is unraveling due to unresolved disputes over contested territories, particularly those occupied by Amhara forces. This has led to widespread distrust and reports of troop mobilization in northern Ethiopia. Residents are fleeing Tigray, stocking up on essentials, and facing cash withdrawal limits due to a run on banks, reminiscent of conditions during the war. The absence of Eritrea and Amhara from the original peace agreement, coupled with the Ethiopian government's strained relations with both, further complicates the situation as the country approaches elections in June.
