Mortar shells and other ammunition remnants lie scattered along a road following clashes between Ethiopian federal forces and armed groups opposed to the government in Adigrat on October 17, 2026. Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced the establishment of an interim administration in the northern Tigray region, which has been controlled by rebels who have clashed with federal forces in recent weeks. The Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) launched a major offensive against government forces on September 23, before being pushed back and losing control of its strongholds, including the regional capital Mekelle. In late September, the TPLF formed an uneasy alliance with several disparate armed groups opposed to the government. The group has also moved closer to neighbouring Eritrea, long at odds with Ethiopia. (Photo by AFP)
