## Prediction

Within 24 hours, the Abiy government is likely to publicly denounce the new TPLF–Amhara Fano–OLA alliance and implement heightened security in Addis Ababa, including arrests, checkpoint expansion, and potential internet disruptions. The regime will aim to deter urban mobilization and signal control to regional allies and investors. This response may push fence-sitting elites and regional leaders to choose sides earlier than they intended. Confirmation would be official statements labeling the coalition as a terrorist front and observable security clampdowns in Addis; denial would be an unusually muted government reaction and quick initiation of dialogue overtures, which is improbable at this stage.

## Drivers

- Reports of seven Ethiopian armed factions formally forming an alliance to overthrow Abiy
- Abiy government’s history of securitized responses to dissent
- Strategic centrality of Addis and the regime’s need to project strength
