Tigray War: Civil conflict that began in November 2020 in the Tigray Region of Ethiopia

The Tigray War was a major war in the Horn of Africa waged by Ethiopia and Eritrea against the Tigray Region and various separatist groups from 2020–2022.

The war became infamous for the war crimes committed by both sides and the spillover into neighboring countries. It ended with the surrender of the Tigray Region and the reintegration of the region into Ethiopia.
