ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — Ethiopia’s national carrier canceled flights to and from the troubled northern region of Tigray, as fears grow of renewed fighting between federal troops and regional forces. For a second day, Ethiopian Airlines wasn't flying to Tigray on Friday, with customers receiving messages that cited “unplanned circumstances.” The carrier issued no public statement. Ethiopian authorities also didn't comment.
