24 Eylül 2026DW

Fighting has resumed in Ethiopia's Tigray region, prompting warnings of potential regional instability from experts.
Fighting has reignited in Ethiopia's Tigray region, raising concerns about potential spillover effects across the Horn of Africa. In an interview with DW, expert Martin Plaut highlights the risks of escalating violence affecting neighboring countries.
The situation remains precarious, with implications for regional stability and security.
The Tigray conflict, which began in late 2020, has already had far-reaching consequences for Ethiopia and its neighbors. The involvement of various regional actors complicates the situation further, making it essential to monitor developments closely.
The resurgence of conflict in Tigray not only threatens Ethiopia's internal stability but also poses significant risks to the broader Horn of Africa region. With existing tensions in neighboring countries, the potential for a wider conflict could lead to humanitarian crises and exacerbate existing political issues.
