The International Crisis Group (ICG) published on 7 September 2022 a commentary titled "Avoiding the Abyss as War Resumes in Northern Ethiopia."
Although it is not clear which side restarted the conflict in northern Ethiopia, Eritrea appears to have reengaged on the side of the central government and may be the big winner if the conflict continues. The ICG called for high level visits to Addis Ababa and Tigray Region by international officials in an effort to pull back both sides from engaging in further conflict.
