Ethiopia's Tigray War May Spill Into Eritrea as PM Abiy Consolidates Power

Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is consolidating his grip on power while calculating on a regional war in Tigray, but his opponents are closing ranks, Deutsche Welle reported. Analysts warn the conflict could spread into neighboring Eritrea, drawing in another Horn of Africa country.

The Tigray conflict, which erupted in 2020, has caused a major humanitarian crisis. A ceasefire has been fragile, and renewed fighting would have devastating consequences for the region's civilian population.
