Tigray conflict in Ethiopia (3 nov 2020 – 3 nov 2022)

Description:

The Tigray War was an armed conflict that lasted from 3 November 2020 to 3 November 2022. Following a prolonged period of escalating tensions and hostilities between the TPLF (Tigray People's Liberation Front) and the governments of Ethiopia and Eritrea, armed conflict ensued when TPLF forces initiated an attack on the Northern Command headquarters of the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF), along with several other military bases situated in the Tigray region.
The conflict between the TPLF and the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) occurred in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. Tigray is located in the northern part of Ethiopia and shares borders with Eritrea to the north and Sudan to the west. The Tigray conflict in Ethiopia originated from enduring political and ethnic tensions, primarily involving the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), a longstanding political force in the country. The situation intensified in November 2020 when the Ethiopian government accused the TPLF of attacking a military base, prompting a military intervention in the Tigray region.

The conflict involves the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF), allied forces from the Amhara region, and Eritrean forces, resulting in widespread reports of human rights abuses, civilian displacement, and humanitarian challenges. The situation is intricate, marked by the involvement of multiple actors and instances of violence against civilians. The conflict has garnered global attention, sparking considerable concerns about humanitarian welfare and regional security.
