EU Calls for De-escalation as Tigray Rebels Clash With Ethiopian Forces

The European Union has called for de-escalation following reports of renewed armed clashes between Tigray rebels (TPLF) and Ethiopian federal forces in northern Ethiopia. The EU statement signals international concern over a potential resumption of large-scale conflict in the Tigray region, where a fragile ceasefire under the Pretoria Agreement has been under strain. Fighting in northern Ethiopia has drawn renewed diplomatic attention amid fears of a broader humanitarian crisis.
