The Economist published on 27 October 2024 an article titled "Another African War Looms."
The end of fighting in Tigray Region in 2022 did not settle the conflicts between Tigray and the war's two other main parties, Eritrea and the militias from Amhara Region. In addition, much of the countryside in Amhara Region is now under the control of local Fano militia groups.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has reached out to the Tigrayans, his former enemies, about a possible military alliance against Eritrea, his former ally in the war against Tigray. Some Tigrayans reportedly support an alliance with Abiy while others are interested in an alliance with Eritrea aimed at overthrowing Abiy.
