> Tigray rebels told AFP on Thursday that they were in a “full-blown war” with Ethiopia’s federal government, amid reports of heavy artillery fire in neighbouring states. Tensions have built for months between Addis Ababa and authorities in the northern region, which fought a devastating civil war from 2020 to 2022 that African Union estimates say killed more than 600,000 people.
