埃塞俄比亚北部提格雷地区阿拉马塔镇周围近日爆发激烈交战,导致至少52名平民在三天内丧生1。据医疗工作人员向BBC证实,死者中包括三天大的婴幼儿、母亲和放牧者1。医疗慈善机构无国界医生表示,超过700名伤者被送入提格雷支持的医院接受救治1。阿拉马塔镇集市遭空袭,单次轰炸就造成12人死亡1。
本轮冲突打破了2022年结束两年内战的协议,涉及政府军与提格雷人民解放阵线及其盟军1。双方对冲突起因各执一词:提格雷人民解放阵线称其对联邦进攻做出回应,而政府则声称提格雷武装分子率先发动攻击1。政府军已控制阿拉马塔镇,并意图北进攻向地区首府美克雷1。与此同时,政府暂停了提格雷的银行服务并切断互联网接入1。
冲突还对平民造成二次伤害。33名游客在世界遗产地拉利贝拉被困一周,包括美国人、以色列人、英国人等多国国民1。其中14名以色列游客于周一被军事直升机撤离1。此前9月早些时候,提格雷武装分子与其他埃塞俄比亚武装运动结成七成员联盟,声称意图推翻首都亚的斯亚贝巴政府1。
Fighting has intensified in Ethiopia's northern Tigray region around the town of Alamata over a three-day period, resulting in at least 52 civilian deaths 1. The casualties include infants, mothers, and herders, according to medical sources 1. Government forces have taken control of Alamata and are reportedly moving northward toward Mekelle, the regional capital 1.
The renewed violence marks a significant breach of the ceasefire agreement that ended a two-year civil conflict in 2022 1. The clashes involve Ethiopian federal military forces against the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) and its allied forces 1. Medical aid organization Doctors Without Borders reported that over 700 wounded individuals have been admitted to hospitals supporting Tigray 1. A single airstrike on Alamata's market killed 12 people 1. In response to the escalation, the government has suspended banking services in Tigray and cut internet access to the region 1.
The humanitarian situation has grown dire, with 33 tourists, including nationals from the United States, Israel, and the United Kingdom, trapped at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Lalibela for a week 1. Fourteen Israeli tourists were evacuated by military helicopter on Monday 1. The TPLF has stated it responded to federal military operations, while the government claims armed groups from Tigray initiated the attacks 1. Earlier in September, Tigray armed factions joined forces with other Ethiopian armed movements to form a seven-member alliance, announcing intentions to overthrow the government in the capital, Addis Ababa 1.
