3 outletsThe , the former ruling party of Ethiopia's Tigray region, says the renewed fighting with the federal government has escalated into a 'full-blown war,' and Ethiopia's army chief is accusing Egypt and Sudan of arming and backing the rebel forces. This is a resurgence of the 2020–22 Tigray conflict, now paired with a newly formed alliance of seven armed opposition groups seeking to oust Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
The claim is built on statements from two named sources—TPLF leaders and Ethiopia's army chief Berhanu Jula—as reported by AllAfrica and corroborated by Euronews and Al Jazeera. It is a faithful report of those allegations, but the accusation of foreign backing is an assertion by the army chief, not independently verified fact.
This is genuinely new reporting from the September 26–27, 2026 publication window, following days of intense fighting and the opposition alliance's launch earlier that week.
We covered the initial escalation in our 2026-09-25 digest, when Tigray rebels were reported to be in 'full-blown war' with the government and seizing airports.
