An article I encountered, its detailing how a couple weeks ago, Ethiopian government forces apparently perpetrated a massacre, literally going door to door in a location within the Amhara region of Ethiopia, killing people...

They cited the United Nations like they did for the casualties of each of the other conflicts cited in the article. A peace settlement was signed between Tigray and the Ethiopian government back in November of 2022 which is why the estimations of dead are coming out and seem to be higher then...

An article by El Pais really put the scale of the Tigray War in perspectivel. https://english.elpais.com/international/2023-01-27/ethiopias-forgotten-war-is-the-deadliest-of-the-21st-century-with-around-600000-civilian-deaths.html Apparently the previous estimation of 300,000 deaths (with only...

With that said, the Oromo Liberation Army is still fighting apparently. They just released a manifesto today apparently.

Another interesting article from Militant Wire just released on the diverse weapon suppliers of the Ethiopian National Defense Forces. Specifically Iran, Turkey and Azerbaijan. Iran provided them Mohajer-6 UCAV's which were involved in several key airstrikes utilizing Qaem air-to-ground guided...

Not anytime in the foreseeable future. Ethiopia had managed to successfully isolate Tigray despite the seesaw nature of the conflict plus had access to the rest of the outside world still. That included arms imported from countries as diverse as Iran, Israel and the United Arab Emirates as well...

They were "winning" it seemed insofar as having more recent battlefield success. They managed to push the Tigrayans back into Tigray after all. But yeah Tigray is part of Ethiopia again and the TPLF have disarmed.

In the two months since the November Peace Deal, the work in "restoring law and order" as well as other infrastructure and connections has been moving along at pace. Ethio Telecom, Ethiopia's State run telecommunications company is restoring phone and internet access to urban areas in Tigray...

Sounds like a Tequila problem as opposed to a water one. Can you not grow Agave in Egypt?

Well the TPLF still has to agree to it I believe so we'll see if it pans out

The Ethiopian Government has declared a Humanitarian Truce in the ongoing Tigray War (Yes that's still going on and yes, more people probably died in it then the Russian Invasion of Ukraine... for now). https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-60861900 Looks like someone is angling for a second...

I think he was making a joke calling it the "Yasser Arafat" Nobel Peace Prize after one of its most famous recipients.

Human Rights Watch and other organizations are reporting another wave of abuses againast Tigrayans in Western Tigray and perpetrated by local Amharan forces backed by the Ethiopian military. Over a million Tigrayans have been displaced from Western Tigray alone during this conflict and recent...

Deus Vult!

I guess I should mention the reason this is even being discussed is because its felt that Addis Adaba, the Capitol of Ethiopia, could potentially fall to Tigrayan forces in the next few weeks. It's believed that the Rebel forces are around 200 miles or 325 kilometers north of the Capitol and...

The Biden Administration has issued a statement that they are unable to help US citizens escape war torn Ethiopia. The Biden Administrations peace and diplomatic efforts in Ethiopia have been ineffective in the Tigray Region who has called for numerous cease fires and peace talks instead of...
