Ethiopia’s Civil War Is Heating Up Once Again
Hostilities in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region escalated as air strikes and the mobilization of troops in towns on either side of the border with neighboring Eritrea forced tens of thousands more people to flee their homes.
The renewed hostilities after a five-month ceasefire threaten to hamper Ethiopia’s negotiations with the International Monetary Fund for a new loan and inflame regional tensions in the two-year-long conflict.
New satellite imagery of one of the world’s most reclusive nations shows a military buildup inside Eritrea near the border with Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region, backing up witness accounts of a new, large-scale offensive.
Eritrea has fought alongside Ethiopia against Tigray forces. It rejects allegations that its soldiers committed some of the worst atrocities in the conflict that began in late 2020. Witnesses in Eritrea this month told The Associated Press that people including students and public servants are being rounded up across the nation and sent to fight in the new offensive.
The satellite imagery provided by Maxar Technologies shows what Maxar described as battle tanks, self-propelled howitzers and a M-46 field gun battery in the Eritrean town of Serha, near the border, on Sept. 19. The town is across the border from the Tigray town of Zalambessa, one of the first communities overrun in the war.
Eritrea is one of the world’s most closed countries to independent journalists, and images from there related to the war in Ethiopia are rare.
Last week, Tigray forces accused Eritrea of launching a full-scale offensive along the border in what appeared to be an escalation of fighting that renewed in August after months of relative calm.
