Hmmm. I think this is maybe thinking things the wrong way around @gerritkurtz.bsky.social - the divisions are growing at least partly because of Addis Ababa & Asmara's meddling. Hard to see Tigray elite as primary actors, when they have got themselves into a situation of having so little influence.
While it is unclear how strong the new "Tigray Peace Forces" really are, they do signal that the intra-Tigray divisions could yet become more violent, drawing in #Ethiopia and #Eritrea.
