Tigray is a region in the very north of Ethiopia along the border with its former rival Eritrea. It's been in the news recently as since the 4th November 2020 the Ethiopian Army along with the Eritrean Army have been fighting a campaign against the Tigrayan People's Liberation Front (TPLF) for control over the region. The TPLF were the de-facto power in the entire country until the election of Abiy Ahmed in 2018 greatly upset the balance of power in Ethiopia and drew the country to the brink of civil war.
