> The government-aligned Tigray Peace Forces say they are close to taking full control of Tigray and claim Tigray People’s Liberation Front forces have been wiped out, though Al Jazeera could not immediately verify the claim. Fighting resumed after the apparent collapse of a 2022 peace deal, spreading into Amhara and Afar and worsening diplomatic tensions and the humanitarian crisis.
