自9月22日星期二以来，埃塞俄比亚陷入了一场战争，主要交战方之一——提格雷人民解放阵线（TPLF）将其描述为“全面战争”。战斗主要发生在该国北部，且没有外部观察员在场。这场冲突始于七个叛军组织组成的联盟成立后不久，该联盟名为“埃塞俄比亚人民生存力量联盟”，于9月20日正式成立，其公开目标是“推翻”由阿比·艾哈迈德在亚的斯亚贝巴领导的联邦政府。
Since Tuesday, September 22, Ethiopia has plunged into a war that one of the main belligerents, the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), has described as "total."

Then there is the murky role of an outside player, Eritrea, which is keeping a low profile for now. Here is an overview of the forces at play, their shifting alliances and their ambitions.

Tigray People's Liberation Front Fighters from the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) arrive in Mekele, the capital of the Tigray region in Ethiopia, on June 29, 2021. The TPLF is not only the leading force within the rebel coalition and the most battle-hardened, but it is also a historic party in Ethiopia.
