ADDIS ABABA — As of March 6, 2026, the fragile peace established by the Pretoria Agreement is under severe threat. The Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) released a statement on Thursday alleging that the Ethiopian federal government is preparing to 'wage war' once again. Reports from regional security sources indicate that the Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) has massed significant numbers of tanks, artillery, and infantry at several strategic points along the northern border. This escalation follows recent skirmishes in disputed territories and growing political friction between Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's administration and Tigrayan leaders. Analysts from the African Union have called for 'maximum restraint,' warning that a new conflict could be catastrophic for a region already hosting over one million internally displaced persons and still reeling from the deaths of over 600,000 people in the previous civil war.
