Eritrea Accused of Full-Scale Offense in Tigray Region of Ethiopia
------------------------------------------------------------------

In news from Ethiopia, rebel forces in the Tigray region have accused
the neighboring country of Eritrea of launching a full-scale offensive
in Tigray. The news has not been independently confirmed, but aid
workers in the region report heavy fighting along the Eritrean-Tigray
border. Eritrea backed the Ethiopian government's initial offensive in
Tigray that began in 2020, but last year Eritrea withdrew most of its
forces.
