Shererina

Shererina is a location in northern Ethiopia, situated near the border with Sudan. It has recently become the focal point of renewed fighting between the Ethiopian federal army and Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) rebels. These clashes, which reportedly involved heavy artillery and drones, erupted over a weekend, marking a significant escalation in tensions. The violence has led to hundreds of Tigrayans, including wounded fighters, fleeing across the border into Sudan. This resurgence of conflict in Shererina is particularly concerning as it raises fears that the three-year-old peace deal intended to end the civil war could unravel, potentially plunging the region back into widespread conflict. The events underscore the fragility of the peace process and the ongoing instability in the area.
