Pope Leo XIV calls for dialogue in Ethiopia amid renewed fighting in Tigray

By GhanaSummary NewsroomPan-Africa

" Renewed fighting between Ethiopian federal troops and fighters affiliated to the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) escalated last week, shattering a peace pact that ended a devastating two-year war in 2022.

The previous civil war between the government of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and the TPLF, which dominates politics in Tigray, ended with the Pretoria Peace Agreement of 2022.

Pro-government forces said they took control of the strategic town of Alamata in southern Tigray on Monday, while locals interviewed by AFP at a hospital said there had been heavy shelling on the town of Maychew further north.
