Bloc includes Tigray People’s Liberation Front, which has been fighting Abiy Ahmed’s forces for a year
Nine anti-government factions in Ethiopia are to form an alliance, as pressure mounts on the country’s prime minister, Abiy Ahmed, with rebel forces advancing toward the capital.
The alliance, called the United Front of Ethiopian Federalist and Confederalist Forces, includes the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), which has been fighting Abiy’s government for a year in a war that has killed thousands of people and forced more than 2 million more from their homes.
