Renewed fighting in northern Ethiopia has raised fears that the 2022 peace agreement ending the Tigray war may be unraveling.

Clashes between federal forces and fighters linked to the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) threaten to reignite a conflict that killed an estimated 500,000 people through violence, famine and the collapse of health services.

The unrest highlights lingering political tensions in Tigray, where struggles over power and control have persisted despite the Pretoria peace deal.
