Assessment
Seven Ethiopian armed groups have reportedly formed an alliance aimed at overthrowing the federal government, signaling a significant escalation in opposition. While the formation of the alliance is partially confirmed, its operational cohesion, immediate military actions, and capacity to challenge the government remain uncertain. This development renews fears of a broader civil war and increased instability.
