Der Bürgerkrieg in Äthiopien dauerte von 2020 bis 2022 und forderte etwa 600.000 Todesopfer. Die TPLF regierte Äthiopien jahrzehntelang, bevor Abiy Ahmed 2018 an die Macht kam. Seine Partei PP gewann die Wahlen 2021, die jedoch in Tigray nicht stattfanden und von Menschenrechtsgruppen als unfrei kritisiert wurden.
Die Eskalation schürt Sorge vor einem neuen Krieg: Erst 2022 endete ein Bürgerkrieg in dem Land, in dem es zu zahlreichen Menschenrechtsverbrechen kam und etwa 600.000 Menschen starben. Inzwischen erkennt die TPLF das Friedensabkommen nicht mehr an. Sie ist die wichtigste politische Partei in Tigray und hat Äthiopien vor dem Amtsantritt von Premierminister Abiy Ahmed jahrzehntelang regiert.
Vor der Attacke auf den Flughafen hatte ein Bündnis von Oppositionsgruppen erklärt, Abiys Regierung stürzen zu wollen, darunter auch die TPLF. Abiys Partei PP hatte im Juni die Wahl in dem zweitbevölkerungsreichsten Land Afrikas klar gewonnen. In Tigray wurde sie nicht abgehalten. Menschenrechtsgruppen kritisierten, die Wahl sei nicht frei und fair gewesen – auch weil die Anführer mehrerer Oppositionsparteien inhaftiert waren. Abiy war 2018 an die Macht gekommen und galt als Hoffnungsträger für die Region. Der Friedensnobelpreisträger steht inzwischen jedoch wegen seines repressiven Führungsstils in der Kritik.
