Internet services are disrupted in northern Ethiopia, with monitoring tools indicating a network outage consistent with reports of a telecoms blackout in Tigray. NetBlocks, a global internet monitoring service, says network data show an internet disruption in the region.
The disruption comes amid renewed conflict between the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) and Ethiopia’s federal government. Deutsche Welle reports that a web-monitoring service also detects the interruption alongside reports of fighting escalation. Both outlets link the outage to the conflict situation in northern Ethiopia, though they rely on different monitoring descriptions and do not provide further details on government or provider actions behind the disruption.
