Ethiopian President Taye Atske-Selassie Amde told UN leaders Wednesday that Ethiopia had shown “immense restraint” despite what he called outside interference, hours after renewed fighting with Tigray forces shattered a four-year-old peace deal.
Forces from Tigray launched a major offensive against the federal government Wednesday, while Tigray's leaders described it as a defensive war against federal aggression. The renewed hostilities followed months of growing animosity that threatened a wider regional conflict.
