Ethiopia’s age-old fights over land between ethnic communities could be the reason behind the latest resurgence in violence between Tigray on one side and the national government forces and pro-government ethnic militia on the other.
The resurgence of fighting in Tigray and other parts north of the country is risking chances for a negotiated peace process.
