Al Jazeera, which published a full report, named the groups as the Amhara Fano National Movement, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF), the Afar Revolutionary Democratic Unity Front, the Benishangul Peoples’ Liberation Movement, and the Gumuz Peoples’ Democratic Movement.","These reports stated the alliance aims to overthrow Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and establish a transitional government. Al Jazeera quoted the alliance’s statement accusing the government of imposing “dictatorial rule” and pushing the country towards break-up. It also quoted an Ethiopian academic who said the allied forces believe they face a survival threat from the government.","Al Jazeera’s report noted that the TPLF had declared the 2022 peace deal with the government effectively dead in mid-July. It also mentioned that Fano and the federal forces had fought alongside each other against Tigray’s fighters in the 2020 to 2022 war. The reports did not mention any comment from the Ethiopian government."],"centre":["BBC News reported that seven armed groups, long active in Ethiopia's most populous regions, announced they will work together. Winnipeg Free Press and allAfrica noted the alliance aims to remove Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and to establish an inclusive transitional government. My Mother Lode added the coalition name Ethiopian Peoples’ Forces Alliance for Survival.","France24 said the coalition hopes to oust Abiy Ahmed and included a comment from the deputy chief of the UN peacekeeping mission. Euronews specified that the TPLF, Amhara's Fano militias and the Oromo Liberation Army had coordinated for more than a year and intend to install a transitional government. Radio France Internationale reported a TPLF official warning of a possible return to war.","None of the centre digests mention any financial cost, international diplomatic response, or detailed timeline for the alliance's actions. They also do not provide direct quotations from coalition leaders beyond naming the groups. The reports focus on the alliance's formation, objectives and the risk of renewed conflict."],"right":["Arab News reported that seven Ethiopian armed groups have formed an alliance against the federal government, citing an official from the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). The outlet stated that both the government and the TPLF have massed troops along the northern border, fuelling fears of a return to war, as reported by the African Union. Arab News quoted TPLF vice president Amanuel Assefa stating the alliance's objectives are to remove the regime and facilitate a transitional government. The report also included Kjetil Tronvoll's doubts about the alliance's ability to sustain a war against the government."],"comparison":""},"blindspot":null,"sourceFactualityDistribution":{"low":1,"mixed":5,"high":17,"unknown":36,"veryHigh":13},"ownershipDistribution":{"privateEquity":3,"mediaConglomerate":8,"government":7,"independent":8,"other":2,"corporation":3},"firstDatedReport":{"sourceName":"L'Orient-Le
