How the fighting in Ethiopia spread beyond Tigray, in maps and charts | Conflict News | Al Jazeera

Fighting is intensifying across northern Ethiopia, nearly four years after a peace deal ended a two-year war in Tigray. Government forces captured the strategic town of Alamata in Tigray, while Tigrayan forces have advanced into Afar. Telecommunications have been cut across much of Tigray, and commercial flights have been suspended, hampering humanitarian efforts. Ethiopia’s army chief has accused Eritrea, Sudan, and Egypt of backing armed groups, though all have denied the allegations, with Egypt emphasizing respect for neighboring countries' sovereignty.
