The former interim president of Tigray warns that renewed conflict in the region is not in the interest of its people, amid escalating tensions between federal forces and Tigrayan rebels.
The situation in Tigray, Ethiopia, has taken a concerning turn as clashes erupted between federal troops and Tigrayan forces, marking a worrying resurgence of violence since the bloody civil war was officially brought to an end in 2022. On February 10, 2026, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights urged both sides to urgently take steps towards de-escalation. The renewed fighting in January resulted in a staggering number of casualties, highlighting the fragile peace that has existed since the conflict's peak.
