Ethiopia is in the middle of a civil war in the region of Tigray, which also includes foreign troop invasions by its neighhbor, Eritrea. In response, Ethiopia is using drones to comabt the ‘insurrectionists’ and those drones appear to be Iranian drones, the Mohajer-6 drone to be exact. This drone cut its teeth, in part, over the skies of Libya and Syria.

Excerpt:
Citing images shared on the internet, several media outlets have reported that the Ethiopian National Defence Force is using Iranian-made Mohajer-6 combat unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as it fights a civil war.
Who took the photos remains unknown. However, they show the Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed visiting an airport with what appears to be the drone in the background. The fact-checking website Bellingcat and some open-source researchers independently geo-located the images, indicating that they were taken at the government-controlled Semara Airport.
Semara is the capital city of the country’s Afar province, which abuts the Tigray region where government forces are battling the anti-government Tigray Defense Forces (TDF).
