🇪🇹🇪🇷 - Current situation in Northern Ethiopia:

So far only two TPLF factions are involved, but two of the largest, the TPLF-D and the TPLF-M. The fighting is currently limited to the Adigrat region, on Eriteria's border, and the A2 highway. Reports of clashes in Mekelle are false.

The TPLF-D faction leader, Debretsion, says the offensive was to prevent Addis Ababa from invading Eritrea's Abbas region, which would turn the 'Tigray region into a battleground'.

Tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea were very high, with Eriterian media speculating Ethiopia could soon launch an invasion. The TPLF-D and TPLF-M operation has seemingly created a 'buffer zone' between the two countries.

Therefore, was this Eriteria's preemptive attack against Ethiopia?
