| A good backgrounder on the Tigrayans. |
by Anatoly Shirokoborodov
[Alternatio] Since November 2020, a civil war has been going on in Ethiopia, in which the Prime Minister of the country, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Abiy Ahmed Ali, began a full-scale military campaign against the Popular Front for the Liberation of the Tigray (or, as we now like to write, "Tigraya"),
which controls the eponymous region. The reason for the conflict was the fact that the federal center refused to recognize local elections and allocate money to the Tigray budget. In response to this, the regional authorities stopped paying taxes to the state treasury and recalled their deputies from parliament. |
