Q&A: Conflict in Ethiopia and International Law
On November 4, 2020, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed appeared on state television and acknowledged that he ordered the Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) to commence operations against the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) in response to what he described as attacks by TPLF forces on Ethiopian military bases and federal forces in the regional capital of Mekelle, and at other camps in the Tigray region.
The TPLF, the ruling party administering the northern region of Tigray in Ethiopia, acknowledged that it took over the assets of the Ethiopian military’s Northern Command based in Tigray. Subsequent to launching military operations, the Prime Minister’s Office also announced a six-month state of emergency throughout the Tigray region. In a televised broadcast days later, Abiy announced that the Ethiopian military had destroyed weaponry near Mekelle.
