New: Tigrian forces took control of Makla's Alola Abba Nega airport today.

Ethiopian Airlines has canceled flights to Mekle, Exum and Shire.

Just two days ago, seven armed groups including the TPLF, Amhara Fanu and OLA announced an alliance to topple Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.

Leaving the airport gives Tigray control of its main air link to the rest of Ethiopia and signals that the Pretoria framework is effectively collapsing.
