Ethiopia's Armed Groups Unite Against Government in Shadow of Conflict The current state of conflict in Ethiopia is marked by ethnic and regional tensions that have been simmering for years.
In 2020, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed launched a military campaign against the Tigray Regional State's ruling party, the TPLF (Tigray People's Liberation Front), sparking fierce resistance from armed groups such as the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) and the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF).
These groups have long sought greater autonomy or independence for their respective regions.
