> The Tigray People’s Liberation Front advanced toward Afdeera after capturing Erebti. At least 150,000 people are feared displaced in Afar alone. The offensive is aimed at the Djibouti corridor, which carries almost all of Ethiopia’s international trade and could give the rebels leverage over the federal government.
