Tigrayan forces seize Mekelle airport, raising fears of renewed full-scale war

TPLF forces have captured Mekelle's airport, marking a significant escalation in the conflict with Ethiopia's central government. This follows a period of relative calm since the 2022 peace deal, and the seizure signals a potential collapse of the ceasefire. The move raises the risk of a return to full-scale war in the Tigray region, with regional stability at stake.
