TPLF launches offensive in Afar and Amhara, seizes Mekele airport

TPLF fighters have launched a coordinated offensive against the Ethiopian Federal Army in Afar and Amhara regions, capturing Mekele airport in Tigray. This marks a significant escalation, breaking the 2022 Pretoria ceasefire and reigniting full-scale civil war. The move signals a collapse of the peace process and threatens regional stability in the Horn of Africa.
