Leaders of Ethiopia's Tigray region are stepping up their feud with the federal government, led by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. They say they'll no longer recognise the Addis Ababa administration after the Electoral Commission delayed polls due in August because of Coronavirus. Tigray went ahead with its local elections anyway, a move Prime Minister Ahmed described as 'illegal'. It's raised concern Tigray's leaders are laying the groundwork for the creation of a breakaway state.
