Ethiopia accuses ‘external actors’ of fuelling conflict

Ethiopia is blaming foreign forces for fueling the recent escalation of conflict in the Tigray region. President Taye Atske Selassie Amde condemned these 'forces of destruction and mayhem' and urged external actors to respect the people's right to peace and prosperity in the Horn of Africa. The conflict has led Ethiopian Airlines to suspend flights to Tigray. The situation remains a concern for regional stability and international attention.
