Seven Ethiopian Rebel Groups Announce Alliance Against Abiy Ahmed

Seven rebel groups from different parts of Ethiopia have announced a new alliance against the government of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.

The groups say they are united by a common goal despite their differences. Some had previously been rivals, making their decision to join forces a shift in their relations.

The announcement brings together armed opponents from across the country under a shared political stance against the government. It does not, however, establish how closely they will coordinate their activities.

Details of the alliance’s leadership, structure and plans were not provided in the announcement as described. Whether the groups can turn their declared unity into sustained cooperation remains unclear.
