Is the TIGRAY CRISIS the start of a new CIVIL WAR in ETHIOPIA? | African Biographics

Описание: Ethiopia’s government, under prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, is carrying out a military offensive in Tigray, Ethiopia’s most northern state. This offensive is against forces of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), which is the governing authority of the northern Ethiopian region of Tigray.

A six-month state of emergency has been declared in the region. Dozens of casualties have been reported amid fears that 9 million people are at risk of being displaced. Diplomats and others assert that the conflict in Tigray could destabilize the region and other parts of Ethiopia, which is Africa’s second-most populous country with 110 million people. Ethiopia has scores of ethnic groups and other regions that have sought more autonomy, and some experts worry about further fracturing of a country already plagued by deadly ethnic violence.

In this video, we look at the background of what has brought us to this point and the current situation in Ethiopia.
