Renewed civil war fears have dominated the situation in Tigray, Northern Ethiopia. The Tigray People's Liberation Front has been accused of leading the renewed conflict and has been involved in clashes with federal forces since January. Amid these renewed hostilities, the TPLF gained control of the Mekelle International Airport. On September 23, Ethiopian Airlines announced it had suspended all flights to the northern region of Tigray, including the capital Mekelle, due to the escalating situation.
