The Tigray forces say they are fighting to lift the blockade on their people, but they also want Abiy out. A veteran AP colleague says Ethiopia is the most difficult war he's ever covered. The government for months said soldiers from Eritrea, bitter enemies of the Tigray leaders, weren't inside Tigray. Meanwhile, the Tigray forces said they were not killing civilians. I hope journalists will be allowed into Tigray and other areas to tell the story of Ethiopia's conflict safely and without reprisals so the world can see and understand what's happening.
