WorldTigrayan leaders say new war with Ethiopian government has begun

The Tigray People’s Liberation Front says fighting with Ethiopian federal forces has started, four years after the previous Tigray conflict ended with more than 600,000 deaths. The group took control of the northern region’s capital airport, while ground clashes were reported on the eastern border with Afar. The escalation follows months of tensions and Sunday’s announcement of an alliance seeking to overthrow the prime minister.
