Ethiopia’s air force continued to strike military targets in the northern Tigray region. TPLF’s long storied propaganda channel, Dimisti Wonyane was targeted with air strikes, which cause the station to end live broadcasts.

Nonetheless, beyond the symbolisms, the nomination will not amount to much given the current role played by the AU.
