Amhara Has Become Ethiopia’s Latest Battlefield
The end of the war in Tigray in November 2022 brought relative peace to the region and eased international pressure on Addis Ababa. Yet, it has precipitated the explosion of another devastating war, this time between Ethiopian government forces and their erstwhile partners in the Tigray war from the country’s Amhara region. The president of the Amhara regional government, Yilikal Kefyale, called for the intervention of the federal government, after having reportedly fled Bahir Dar over fears for his safety. The outbreak of fighting is just the latest security crisis that Amhara has faced in recent years. Parts of the Amhara region were also affected by the Tigray war.
