Translated Text: ‼️In Ethiopia 🇪🇹, the war in Tigray has just resumed.
This is an entire regional chain reaction being triggered, as the Tigray conflict is linked to Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea, Libya, Chad... Ethiopia, which was already at war in Amhara (against the Fano rebels, who have recently coalesced into the AFNM), must now face a new northern front with the resumption of fighting against Tigrayan forces. At the same time, sporadic clashes are also taking place in the Oromia and Afar regions, though it is not yet possible to speak of full-scale war there. If the "Yugoslavia of Africa" is once again at war, it is not for nothing. For months, Eritrea and Sudan have been drawing closer to the Tigrayans in the face of an Abiy Ahmed government that plans to seize the port of Assab in Eritrea in order to gain access to the sea, and which has opened an RSF base on its territory, thereby becoming de facto one of the main backers of the Rapid Support Forces in the war in Sudan. The return of conflict in northern Ethiopia, alongside the resumption of fighting in South Sudan this week, the worsening war in Sudan, and the catastrophic situation in Somalia, raise fears of a widespread humanitarian crisis across the Horn of Africa.
