Seven armed groups in Ethiopia have announced a joint alliance with the stated aim of toppling the federal government, according to an Al Jazeera report.
The coalition, described as a partnership of seven distinct militias, was declared in a coordinated statement that outlined a shared objective of overthrowing the current administration. No specific names of the groups or detailed operational plans were provided in the announcement.
Ethiopia has been grappling with a series of internal conflicts over the past decade, most notably the Tigray war that lasted from 2020 to 2022 and ongoing unrest in several regional states. These tensions have contributed to a fragile security environment across the country.
As of the time of reporting, Ethiopian authorities have not issued an official response to the alliance’s proclamation, and no further details have emerged about potential government actions.
The emergence of a multi‑group coalition seeking to challenge the state raises concerns among observers about the possibility of renewed violence and heightened instability in a nation already marked by recent conflict.
