Egypt weighs impact of Ethiopia's civil war
The civil war further threatens Ethiopia as Tigray forces threaten to advance toward Abbis Ababa.
CAIRO — Egypt, as well as the entire international community, is in a state of anticipation after the regional and ethnic conflict in Ethiopia further escalated as the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) continues to take over strategic cities, namely Dessie and Kombolcha in the Amhara region, which are only about 400 kilometers from Addis Ababa. The TPLF has also seized areas in the Shewa region adjacent to the capital.
Both the Ethiopian government and the people fear the TPLF could reach Addis Ababa, especially after it succeeded in forming an alliance that includes nine armed groups from the Oromia region.
