Tigray forces accuse Ethiopia of fresh offensive

Tigrayan forces in northern Ethiopia say the federal army has launched a new offensive against them.

In a statement, the Tigrayans said there had been a fresh wave of attacks on Wednesday morning along the region’s southern border with Amhara.

Addis Ababa has not yet responded to the accusations.

An increase in tensions over the past two weeks is threatening to undo a humanitarian truce reached between the two sides in March.

The war – which broke out in November 2020 – has seen the killings of tens of thousands of civilians.
