Ethiopia's Shadow War Escalates as Armed Groups Unite Against Abiy Ahmed's Government Ethiopia's ongoing crisis has taken a significant turn with the formation of an alliance between seven armed groups, including former adversaries.
The Ethiopian Peoples' Forces Alliance for Survival aims to overthrow Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government, marking a major escalation of the conflict that began in 2018.
The Amhara Fano National Movement and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), which dominated Ethiopian politics for nearly three decades before Abiy took office, are key players in this new alliance.
