A potential new conflict is threatening stability in Africa, following the recent civil war in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. Between 2020 and 2022, this northern territory was the site of a major conflict that involved the Ethiopian and Eritrean national armies against the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), which served as the regional governing party.
Estimates suggest that the previous conflict resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. The current reports indicate concerns that the region faces the risk of another disastrous war, highlighting the ongoing instability in the Horn of Africa.
