Ethiopia war: Internet disrupted in Tigray

Internet and call services have been completely cut in Ethiopia's Tigray region after fighting broke out this week between regional forces and the national army. The disruption was caused by a shutdown of services from state-owned Ethio Telecom, while Safaricom remains operational. The internet outage worsens the humanitarian crisis, as residents can no longer access banking and mobile money services amid cash shortages and heightened tensions following clashes between Tigrayan forces and federal troops.
