Tigray militia claims control of Mekelle Alula Aba Nega Airport

The Tigray militia, which fights alongside Ethiopia's government forces, posted on X that it now fully controls the airport near Mekelle. Fighting between government troops and separatist rebels has continued for more than a week across multiple fronts. The development raises concerns about a possible resurgence of the civil war that devastated the country between 2020 and 2022.
