Ethiopia: federal forces battle TPLF and rebel coalition

Ethiopia's situation is deteriorating as the TPLF declared it is waging "full-scale war" against the federal forces of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government. Tigrayan rebels have formed a coalition with six other armed groups across the country, united by the goal of overthrowing the government. On Friday, another armed group announced it had joined the alliance.

Should the international community intervene more actively in Ethiopia's conflict?

Putin claims Russia won't attack Europe, threatens Baltic states

Vladimir Putin said Russia is not preparing for war with Europe and dismissed warnings to that effect as provocation. He also claimed that rights of Russian-speakers in Baltic states are being violated and promised Moscow's response under "humanitarian law". He made similar assurances before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Are Putin's assurances that he has no plans to attack Europe credible?
