The origin of the shots is unknown, though each side blames the other for firing the shots. As fighting has once again commenced, the TPLF forces have been settling and fighting near the Sudan border in the west, and a security expert informs <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/ethiopia-war-tigray-truce-falling-apart-humanitarian-crisis\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CBS News<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u201cthat there\u2019s growing concern fighting on this new front could potentially draw Sudan into what is already a complicated regional conflict.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The authorities in northern Tigray have said that \u201cWe are ready to abide by an immediate and mutually agreed cessation of hostilities in order to create a conducive atmosphere,\u201d reports\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2022\/9\/11\/ethiopias-tigray-rebels-say-ready-for-au-led-peace-talks\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Al Jazeera<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The TPLF\u2019s decision is a significant step toward peace, especially because they had previously opposed talks with the AU because it is spearheaded by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-confidential.com\/article\/id\/13558\/Nigeria%27s_Olusegun_Obasanjo_takes_on_mediating_role_in_war_as_brickbats_fly_on_both_sides\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Olusegun Obasanjo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Obasanjo is the former president of Nigeria and the TPLF suspected his bias and interests are in favor of and aligned with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. Peace talks were supposed to happen months earlier in July, but they fell through. BBC News confirms that no international envoys said exactly why the talks broke down, but prior to the breakdown, the TPLF publicly announced their outrage at Obasanjo offering to invite Eritrea to the discussion. Eritrea is an ally of the Ethiopian government and has been accused of aiding Ethiopia in this conflict. They also fought multiple wars with the TPLF when they were the ruling party of Ethiopia for 20 years, according to the Center for Strategic International Studies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tigray is a state located in northern Ethiopia and shares a border with Eritrea in the north and Sudan in the west. The TPLF had been the dominant faction in Ethiopian politics and ruled the country for nearly 20 years. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfr.org\/global-conflict-tracker\/conflict\/conflict-ethiopia\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the Global Conflict Tracker<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the TPLF\u2019s regime included the oppressive marginalization of other ethnic groups and the emergence of a more centralized government. The military conflict started in 2020, when the Tigray state council held regional elections and refused to abide by the rules of the federal government. Prime Minister Abiy, who came to power in 2018 in an election that ousted the TPLF-led coalition, opposed and condemned the Tigray regional elections, accused the TPLF of attacking federal military resources, and established a six-month state of emergency where troops were deployed to Mekelle, the capital of Tigray.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since then, civil war has wreaked havoc on the nation to the point where the U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned the Ethiopian troops\u2019 actions as ethnic cleansing of the Tigrayans. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/news\/2022\/06\/16\/ethiopias-invisible-ethnic-cleansing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Human Rights Watch<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> investigators found that even after Blinken\u2019s condemnation human rights violations were still occurring. HRW also reports that \u201csince January 2022, Amhara security forces have held hundreds, possibly thousands, of Tigrayans in overcrowded facilities, where detainees have been killed, tortured, and denied adequate food and medical care.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not only are Tigrayans being forced into battle, either by military conscription by the TLPF or civilian endurance, but there is also a major hunger crisis plaguing the region. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/global-development\/2022\/mar\/23\/trying-to-survive-millions-in-tigray-face-hunger-as-they-wait-in-vain-for-aid#:~:text=US%20officials%20estimate%20about%2080,for%20pregnant%20and%20lactating%20women.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Guardian<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reports that 80 percent of the Tigrayan population is now food insecure. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) also confirms the crisis the Tigrayan people face when he said \u201cthere was nowhere on earth\u201d where the health of millions of people is more at risk, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/global-development\/2022\/mar\/17\/nowhere-on-earth-are-people-more-at-risk-than-tigray-says-who-chief\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Guardian<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The truce that was brokered before the outbreak of fighting in August was made to combat this widespread famine. It allowed the World Food Programme (WFP) to continue limited operations in Tigray. The WFP claimed it was aiding \u201ctens of thousands of people,\u201d which falls below the approximate 4.8 million people in need. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/starvationaccountability.org\/news-and-events\/tigray-one-year-on-an-anniversary-of-famine-and-conflict\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The University of Ghent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, nearly 400 to 1,200 people could be dying per day due to starvation. As the fighting prolongs the dire humanitarian crisis, a third-party mediator like the AU may be the only hope for peace.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On September 11, Ethiopia\u2019s Tigray rebels announced that they are willing to participate in peace talks headed by the African Union (AU), reports Al Jazeera.\u00a0 This announcement comes after fighting resumed between the Ethiopian Federal Government and the Tigray People\u2019s Liberation Front (TPLF) in August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5238,"featured_media":11813,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2383,382,385,1334],"tags":[481,639,749,2066,2398],"class_list":["post-11889","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-september-2022","category-international-news","category-africa","category-conflict_and_security","tag-civil-war","tag-ethnic-tensions","tag-ethiopia","tag-tigray","tag-abiy-ahmed"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
