埃塞俄比亚联邦军队表示，他们正在以克制的方式应对该国北部日益紧张的局势，因为人们担心埃塞俄比亚可能再次陷入内战。
Ethiopia’s federal military has said it is handling rising tensions in the country’s north with restraint, as fears grow that Ethiopia could be heading towards another civil war.
在就近期军事动向发表的首次评论中，陆军参谋长贝尔哈努·朱拉元帅称，军队正在以“智慧和克制”的态度回应提格雷地区的挑衅行为。
In his first comments on the recent military developments, Army Chief of Staff Field Marshal Berhanu Jula said the army was responding to what he called provocations from the Tigray front with “wisdom and restraint”.
他指责厄立特里亚资助和支持武装组织以削弱埃塞俄比亚的实力，并将“齐姆多”联盟描述为长期存在的敌对联盟的延续；他认为这些武装组织在没有外部支持的情况下无法与政府抗衡。
He accused Eritrea of funding and supporting armed groups to weaken Ethiopia, describing the “Tsimdo” alliance as an extension of a longstanding pattern of hostile alliances, which he said cannot confront the state without outside backing.
由于担心内陆国家埃塞俄比亚可能会试图入侵厄立特里亚以获取出海口，厄立特里亚否认了这些指控。
Eritrea, wary that landlocked Ethiopia may be seeking to invade it to gain access to the Red Sea, denied the accusations.
在七个武装组织宣布成立“埃塞俄比亚人民生存联盟”并誓言推翻阿比·艾哈迈德总理的政府后，战斗已从提格雷地区蔓延至邻近的阿法尔和阿姆哈拉地区。
The fighting has spread from Tigray into neighbouring Afar and Amhara regions after seven armed groups announced an alliance the Ethiopian Peoples’ Forces Alliance for Survival, committed to removing Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government.
在阿法尔地区，最新的战斗发生在阿巴拉附近，政府军队正在努力阻止叛军控制该地区。

另外，在与提格雷接壤的北沃洛地区，军方周四宣布在反攻行动中击毙了272名提格雷武装分子，另有260人受伤；军方称提格雷人民解放阵线（TPLF）遭受了重大损失。
Separately, in North Wollo, a zone of Amhara bordering Tigray, the army said on Thursday it had killed 272 Tigrayan fighters and wounded 260 in a counter-offensive, reporting heavy losses for the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF).
随着埃塞俄比亚国内局势的不断恶化（人们担心全面内战的爆发），武装部队成员正在乘坐军用车辆执行任务。提格雷人民解放阵线的提格雷军队表示，联邦政府已发动了包括步兵、机械化部队和无人机在内的“全面进攻”。

战斗还在萨马、索科塔和拉亚阿拉马塔等地持续进行，政府军据报道正在逼近阿拉马塔镇。
Fighting has also continued around Sama, Soqota and Raya Alamata, with government forces reportedly closing in on the town of Alamata.
军方表示，他们更倾向于采取“战略上的冷静”态度，而非大规模的军事对抗；他们认为提格雷地区的民众支持度正在下降，且当地领导层内部存在分歧。
The army command said it prefers a strategy of “strategic calm” over a large-scale military confrontation arguing the Tigray front’s popular support is dwindling and its leadership divided.

Internet access was reportedly cut across northern Ethiopia on Friday, a day after the UN said it was alarmed by reports of drones being used against civilians there.
新一轮的战斗使2022年签署的《普雷托利亚协议》面临严重压力——该协议原本旨在结束提格雷地区长达两年的内战。这一局势的恶化发生在华盛顿解除对埃塞俄比亚和厄立特里亚的制裁之后几周；华盛顿当时称与上次战争相关的“国家紧急状态”已经结束。
The renewed fighting has put the 2022 Pretoria Agreement, which ended a brutal two-year civil war in Tigray, under severe strain. It comes weeks after Washington lifted sanctions on Ethiopia and Eritrea tied to atrocities from the last war, saying the “national emergency … has expired”.
此次冲突是对该协议迄今为止最严重的挑战，人们担心这可能会引发更广泛的地区冲突，甚至吸引埃塞俄比亚境内的其他武装组织卷入其中。
It marks the most serious challenge yet to that agreement, raising fears of a wider regional conflict that could draw in armed groups from across Ethiopia.
在联合国大会上，埃塞俄比亚总统试图将本国描绘成维护地区稳定的力量，同时指责某些外部势力干涉埃塞俄比亚的内政，并强调亚的斯亚贝巴在支持苏丹和平进程方面所发挥的作用。

Alemayehu Weldemariam, a professor of law at Indiana University, told Al Jazeera that the federal government bears much of the blame for the collapse of the Pretoria Agreement.
“这场战争其实早已埋下隐患。2022年协议中关于停止敌对行动的许多条款实际上都被联邦政府自己破坏了，”他说。他提到了政府对提格雷地区实施的燃料、公共服务和资金限制，以及政府未能按照协议要求建立临时行政机构的问题。
“This war has been in the making for a while now. Much of the provisions in the cessation of hostilities [in the 2022 agreement] were primarily sabotaged by the federal government itself,” he said, citing fuel, service and cash restrictions imposed on Tigray, and the government’s failure to set up the interim administration the deal had promised.
“本应只是临时性的安排，却变成了永久性的措施，”他补充道，“自那时起，提格雷地区就被排除在国家的选举之外。”
“What was supposed to be an interim arrangement turned out to be permanent,” with Tigray excluded from national elections since, he added.
