Ethiopia government 'has duty' to halt Tigrayan attacks

According to the Ethiopian authorities, Tigrayan attacks were more severe on Thursday.

After Tigrayan forces accused the government of mounting extensive offensives in the area, it made its most recent statement regarding the escalation of hostilities in the civil war.

The Tigray People's Liberation Front was referred to by the government as a "terrorist group," and it was the responsibility of the Ethiopian government and people to put an end to its destructive operations.

In addition, the statement said that by attacking during the growing season, the TPLF was punishing the "people of Tigray via famine."

The government of Ethiopia has been charged with enforcing an embargo on assistance deliveries to the area, which it has justified by blaming the war.

In Tigray, it is estimated that about 5 million people require food assistance, with hundreds of thousands experiencing "famine-like" circumstances.
