自周三起，提格雷人民解放阵线（TPLF）与联邦政府之间爆发激烈冲突，引发人们担心2020-2022年那场估计造成60万人死亡的内战卷土重来。
Heavy clashes have resumed between the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) and the federal government since Wednesday, raising fears of a return to a 2020-2022 civil war in which an estimated 600,000 people died.
提格雷人民解放阵线已夺取机场，并向邻国阿法尔州和阿姆哈拉州发动攻击，称这是针对阿比·艾哈迈德总理政府的“防御性战争”。一位人道主义消息人士称，位于与提格雷州边境附近的阿法尔州城镇埃雷布提，在遭受重炮轰击后于周日落入叛军手中。
The TPLF has seized airports and launched attacks into the neighbouring states of Afar and Amhara, saying they were engaged in a "defensive war" against the government of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed A humanitarian source said the Afar town of Erebti, near the border with Tigray fell to the rebels on Sunday after being pounded by heavy artillery.
提格雷人民解放阵线目前正向东部约100公里（60英里）外的阿夫德拉镇推进。
The TPLF was now advancing towards the town of Afdeera, some 100 kilometres (60 miles) to the east.
该消息人士估计，阿法尔州至少有15万人流离失所，但表示无法给出确切数字。
The source estimated that at least 150,000 people have been displaced in Afar, but said it was impossible to give precise numbers.
武装部队总参谋长比尔哈努·朱拉元帅在军方YouTube频道上表示：“我们正在与为外部势力利益服务的有组织、结盟部队作战。”
Speaking on the army's YouTube channel, army chief Field Marshal Birhanu Jula said: "We are fighting forces that are organised and allied to serve the interests of external forces.
他补充道：“无论是沙比亚（厄立特里亚）还是提格雷人民解放阵线，即使结盟也无法单独取得任何成果，除非得到苏丹、埃及和其他外部势力的支持、资助和补给。”
"Neither Shaebia (Eritrea) nor the TPLF can achieve anything alone, even if they are allied, unless they are backed, supported and supplied by Sudan, Egypt and other external powers," he added.
电视台遭袭 提格雷人民解放阵线已与全国各地的七个武装团体结盟，似乎正在重演上次战争的战略，即向南推进穿过阿姆哈拉州直逼亚的斯亚贝巴。其在阿法尔州的攻势旨在切断来自吉布提的补给，后者提供埃塞俄比亚几乎所有的国际贸易货物（包括燃料）。
TV station attack The TPLF has allied with seven armed groups around the country, and appears to repeating a strategy from the last war of pushing south through Amhara towards Addis Ababa, Its offensive in Afar is aimed at cutting supplies from Djibouti which provides almost all of Ethiopia's international trade cargo, including fuel.
