TPLF declares full-scale war in Ethiopia, fighting spreads to Afar and Amhara

The Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) has declared a state of full-scale war with Ethiopia's federal government, with heavy artillery reported in Tigray and neighboring Afar and Amhara regions. This marks a significant escalation after a period of relative calm, indicating a breakdown of the 2022 peace agreement. The conflict threatens regional stability in the Horn of Africa and could trigger a humanitarian crisis.
