Internet restricted after fighting breaks out in Ethiopia's Tigray region

Internet access has been restricted following the outbreak of fighting in Ethiopia's Tigray region, according to recent reports. The disruption comes in the wake of a destructive two-year civil war that previously left the area entirely cut off from the outside world.

The recent escalation and subsequent communications blackout raise renewed concerns for the population in Tigray, reviving memories of the severe isolation experienced during the prior conflict.
