- On Sunday, Ethiopian Airlines resumed flights to Mekelle for the first time since Tigray People's Liberation Front rebels seized the airport on Sept. 23.
- Government-Allied fighters entered Mekelle on Oct. 3, forcing the rebels to withdraw and undermining the 2022 peace agreement that ended a two-year war.
- Getachew Reda, an adviser to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, promised 'visible change' upon arriving at Mekelle airport on Sunday alongside intelligence chief Redwan Hussein.
- Ethiopia told the Security Council on Friday it is taking self-defense measures against alleged Eritrean occupation; Eritrean Foreign Minister Osman Saleh called this a 'deplorable declaration of war.'
- Mounting tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea raise fears of a wider conflict, particularly as the 2020-2022 war caused about 500,000 civilian deaths from violence and famine.
