This is how the civil war in Ethiopia arose

The war began when government forces launched an offensive against the Tigray and Tigran Liberation Front (TPLF).

This summer, the TPLF regained control of the regional capital Mekele.

The UN has repeatedly sounded the alarm about possible war crimes and human rights violations in the conflict.

Thousands of people have been killed, millions have been forced to flee, and the civil war has led to widespread famine.
