Tigray War
(Redirected from Tigray Defense Forces)
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.[7]
Militias from the Amhara Region played a decisive role in the Ethiopian victory, most notably Fano. The Western Zone was occupied by Fano during the Tigray War and, as a result, has since become an war zone in the 2023 Amhara war.[8]
