Heavy Fighting and Internet Disruption Grip Ethiopia
Original: Heavy Fighting, Internet Disruption as Ethiopia Conflict Rages
Heavy fighting is under way in Ethiopia, accompanied by a widespread internet disruption as the conflict intensifies. The blackout is cutting off communications and making it harder to verify the situation on the ground. Observers are watching closely given the country's history of devastating wars and the potential for regional spillover.
Why now: An escalation of an armed conflict plus a national internet blackout is major breaking news with humanitarian and regional implications
