Pope Leo XIV appeals for dialogue in Tigré

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV has called for dialogue in Tigré following the resumption of fighting in the region. During a general audience, the Pope urged peace as conflict intensified in September 2026.

The fighting involves federal government forces and the FPLT. Although a peace agreement was signed in Pretoria in November 2022, the accord remained only partially implemented. The current escalation has displaced tens of thousands of people into Afar and raised concerns regarding potential total blockades of electricity, communications, and humanitarian aid. The conflict, which began in November 2020, has resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths.
