## Overview
Fighting has reportedly resumed in northern Ethiopia, raising fears of a blackout and blockade of the Tigray region reminiscent of the 2020-2022 civil war.
## Key Developments
The renewed fighting has spurred fears that Tigray could again be cut off from the world, as it was during the 2020-2022 civil war that killed around 600,000 people (Al Jazeera, September 25).
## Strategic Significance
Given the catastrophic humanitarian toll of the prior Tigray conflict, any resumption of large-scale fighting or renewed blockade carries major humanitarian, regional stability, and Horn of Africa security implications. This warrants tracking as a potentially developing crisis.
