Ethiopia
The war in Ethiopia, rarely reported: first the guide to find your bearings, then the in-depth pieces on the Pretoria peace agreement and on the war in Amhara.
Since 23 September Ethiopia has been at war again: Abiy Ahmed's government against an alliance of seven armed groups, with Eritrea, Sudan and Egypt accused of backing it. Who is fighting, why, and what is at stake from the Red Sea to the Nile and the Horn of Africa.
Since 23 September 2026 fighting has resumed in northern Ethiopia: the peace agreement signed in Pretoria in 2022 has collapsed. The UN documents violations on both sides.
In Amhara, since 2023, the Ethiopian army and the Fano militia have fought with the same methods: summary executions, drone strikes on civilians, forced disappearances.
