Ethiopia’s new rebel alliance faces an old problem
Al Jazeera EnglishOpinion
A new armed alliance of Tigrayan, Amhara, Oromo and other regional forces announced on September 20 aims to remove Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and set up an inclusive transition, drawing on support from Eritrea and Sudan. Three days later, TPLF forces allied with the Afar National Unity Revolutionary Front advanced into several districts in Zone 2 with little resistance. The alliance follows a long pattern of violent struggle in Ethiopia, where those excluded from power take up arms.
