Fighting in western Tigray threatens Ethiopia's 2022 peace deal

Fighting broke out in western Tigray near Sheraro on Saturday, marking one of the most serious breaches of the 2022 Pretoria peace deal between Ethiopia's federal government and the TPLF. Each side blamed the other for starting the assault. The clashes follow months of deteriorating relations and unresolved disputes over disarmament, with analysts warning of a larger war without international intervention.
