Ethiopia’s federal forces clash with Tigray rebels as airstrikes hit northern Ethiopia

Situation Overview

Airstrikes and artillery fire rocked northern Ethiopia’s Tigray region overnight into Monday, aid sources said, amid clashes between Ethiopia’s federal government and rebel forces. France 24 reported that the Ethiopian government is pushing into Tigray territory, in a context that is raising fears the conflict could get out of control. No further confirmed steps, deadlines, or ceasefire-related measures were reported in the cluster.

Geopolitical Implications
