Heavy fighting in Ethiopia triggers telecom disruption concerns

Telecoms disruption has heightened concerns as heavy fighting continues between Ethiopian forces and the Tigray People's Liberation Front, with fears of a regional spillover mounting. The conflict has drawn attention to the fragile state of communications infrastructure in the area, raising alarms about the potential for further instability.

Amid the violence, both the opposition and the ruling UDPS party have blamed each other for the unrest that erupted in the latest mass protest. The exchange of accusations underscores the deep divisions within Ethiopia’s political landscape as the country grapples with escalating conflict.

Separately, the Authenticity and Modernity party is now pursuing a coalition to address key voter concerns, including the cost‑of‑living crisis in Morocco. This move reflects a broader effort to tackle pressing economic issues that resonate with voters in the region.
