2026 Ethiopian offensive

Legendary card · No. 886

On 23 September 2026, the Ethiopian Peoples' Forces Coalition for Survival, a coalition of various Ethiopian rebel and insurgent groups, launched a large-scale military offensive against the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) in Tigray, Afar and Amhara. The Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) described the offensive as a defensive war against the federal government of Ethiopia. The TPLF took control of several towns bordering Tigray Region. Control shifted back to federal forces, with the ENDF retaking control of Afar towns and capturing the Tigray capital Mekelle. Eritrean troops entered Tigray while the ENDF continued advancing north in Tigray Region. The offensive is the largest escalation in fighting since the Tigray war (2020–2022), which was one of the bloodiest conflicts of the 21st century.
