The Ethiopian government and the rebel Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) on Thursday blamed each other as renewed fighting expands across areas in northern parts of Ethiopia. Meanwhile, the rebel group has also accused the Ethiopian federal government of what it called a “massive offensive” against its forces positioned across northwestern and southern parts of the Tigray region. Last week, the Ethiopian government accused the TPLF of resuming fighting. The TPLF, on the other hand, accused the federal government of starting the attack on its forces. Humanitarian aid had been recently heading to the Tigray region after the Ethiopian government and the rebel forces agreed to a conditional cessation of hostilities and unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid into the region.
