WorldInternet restricted in Ethiopia's Tigray region as fighting breaks out

Fighting in Ethiopia’s Tigray region has led to a complete cut in services from state-owned operator Ethio Telecom, while the smaller private provider Safaricom remains operational. Internet monitor NetBlocks said network data showed a sub-national shutdown in northern Tigray. Clashes involving Tigrayan forces, allies and federal troops have heightened tensions and prompted reports of panic buying.
