Tigray forces seize regional capital airport, join alliance to topple Abiy government

Tigrayan forces have captured the airport in the regional capital, marking a significant escalation in their renewed offensive against Ethiopia's federal government. They have joined an armed alliance aimed at overthrowing Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, and Ethiopian Airlines has suspended flights to the region. The move signals a major reversal of the 2022 peace deal and raises the risk of a broader civil conflict.
