The Guardian reported on 24 September that Tigray forces launched an offensive into Ethiopia's Afar and Amhara regions and formed a new alliance aimed at unseating Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. The paper recalls that the 2020–2022 war between the Ethiopian army and Tigray killed about 600,000 people, which is why this push raises the fear of civil war returning.

The Guardian reported on 24 September that Tigray forces have moved into Ethiopia's Afar and Amhara regions and formed a new alliance whose stated aim is to unseat Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. The paper uses the last war as the comparison: from 2020 to 2022, fighting between the Ethiopian army and Tigray's political and armed forces killed about 600,000 people. This is written as an offensive already under way and an alliance just formed, not as an old ceasefire still holding. Three lines are enough: which two regions, who the alliance wants to remove, and that the last war's death toll was about 600,000. The front and any talks are in the Guardian story.
