Fighting resumes in Ethiopia's Tigray, spreads to Afar and Amhara

Fighting has resumed in northern Tigray between Tigrayan regional forces and Ethiopia's army, spreading into Afar and Amhara. Each side blames the other for restarting combat. Residents fear renewed full-scale war after the 2020-2022 conflict that mediators say killed about 600,000. Whether the 2022 Pretoria peace deal can hold is now the central question.
