Tigray

Tigray is a region in northern Ethiopia that has been embroiled in conflict, facing significant humanitarian challenges. It is newsworthy due to recent drone strikes, signaling a potential return to fighting between Tigrayan forces and the Ethiopian government. These events follow a period where US aid cuts have exacerbated hunger and devastation in the region. The situation is further complicated by Ethiopian accusations that Eritrea is supplying ammunition to rebel groups operating in Tigray, a claim Eritrea denies. This accusation raises tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea, potentially reigniting a broader conflict in the Horn of Africa. The ongoing instability and humanitarian crisis in Tigray highlight the fragility of the peace process and the urgent need for humanitarian assistance and diplomatic solutions.
