- Armed opposition groups in Tigray, Amhara, and Afar launched a multi-pronged offensive against Ethiopian government forces, according to the source.
- Long-simmering tensions in northern Ethiopia have now escalated into large-scale fighting, though the source argues it is "not too late to avert a return to costly, bloody war."
Why it matters: A simultaneous offensive across three northern regions — Tigray, Amhara, and Afar — turns contained tensions into a coordinated military challenge to the Ethiopian government. The source's framing that war is "not too late" to stop implies a narrow diplomatic window before the fighting deepens into the costly conflict the author warns against.
