Approximately one week after fighting resumed in northern Ethiopia, the military has launched a counter-offensive across several areas. In Tigré, a region currently controlled by rebel forces, a drone strike occurred on Sunday, September 27, targeting the regional public television station in Mekelle. This attack marks one of the first direct strikes on media infrastructure in the region since the conflict began. Clashes between federal troops and the Tigrayan Defense Forces (TDF) were also reported in the southern part of Tigré, specifically in the Alamata area. This location is about 400 kilometers north of Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. The fighting in this area has raised concerns, as capturing Alamata could significantly alter the balance of power in the ongoing conflict. The renewed fighting comes after a brief pause in hostilities, which had been declared earlier in the year. The conflict, which began in 2020, has resulted in widespread displacement and humanitarian challenges. Both sides have accused each other of violating ceasefires and committing human rights abuses. The situation remains tense, with no clear end in sight. International observers and humanitarian organizations continue to call for a peaceful resolution to the conflict, emphasizing the need for dialogue and protection of civilians. The outcome of the current counter-offensive may have far-reaching implications for the region's stability.
