Security Updates

Tensions continue to be heightened in the wake of last week’s escalation between the federal government in Addis Ababa and officials in the northern Tigray region. Fighting has spread along Tigray’s border with the Amhara region, which backs the federal government in Addis Ababa, and there are also reports of clashes near the border with Eritrea and Sudan, which has already partially closed its frontier with Ethiopia over concerns of cross-border violence.
