Seven Ethiopian Rebel Groups Form Alliance Against Abiy Ahmed’s Government

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

The coalition brings together armed movements that have not always been on the same side. Some were previously rivals, but now say they are united by a common goal.

Their announcement marks a shift in relations among the participating groups, with opposition to Abiy’s government providing a basis for cooperation despite their earlier differences.

The information provided does not identify the groups or outline how the alliance will operate. It also gives no details of a joint political programme or plans for coordinated military action.

The central question is whether the groups can turn their declared unity into sustained cooperation. The announcement alone does not establish how far their shared position extends beyond opposition to the government.
