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.

The Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) has launched a coordinated offensive in the Afar and Amhara regions, seizing Mekele airport and reportedly other regional airports. This action signifies a collapse of the 2022 Pretoria ceasefire and a resumption of full-scale civil war, with claims of a new anti-government alliance forming. The broader military situation and extent of TPLF territorial control remain unclear.
