A closer look at “Tigray Rebel Groups Forcibly Recruiting Boys as Young as 15 Amid Renewed Ethiopia Conflict”, exactly as the source publishes it. Reports from northern Ethiopia indicate that a new alliance of armed groups in Tigray has been forcibly recruiting men and boys, some as young as 15, as renewed fighting threatens a fresh humanitarian crisis. The conflict reignited on 23 September between Ethiopia’s federal government and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), shattering the Pretoria peace agreement signed in November 2022. Civilians attempting to flee have described men and boys being rounded up on the streets by the new alliance, raising fears of widespread conscription and further destabilization.

With the peace deal broken, humanitarian agencies warn of another wave of displacement and suffering for Tigray’s war-weary population.
