Abstract

This paper endeavors to analyze the environmental impact caused by the Tigray War in northern Ethiopia between 2020 and 2026. The study specifically examines the effect of the war on deforestation, soil erosion, destruction of water resources, biodiversity loss, as well as the indirect impacts including biomass usage in siege environments. Besides, it also highlights some of the lacunas found in existing literature regarding this issue and the priorities for environmental recovery following the war. The method adopted is qualitative desk review of peer reviewed papers, institutional and governmental reports and NGO papers The literature review reveals that Tigray War has undone all the efforts made for the past several decades for environmental rehabilitation in the region. Deforestation, collapse of soil and water conservation works, serious land degradation, and disturbance of watersheds are among the negative impacts observed in the area. Also, through remote sensing data, significant loss of vegetation cover can be noted in the regions affected by war. Furthermore, the indirect environmental impacts like high biomass consumption in siege environments have also been observed. The study bases its findings in the global theories on war and the environment that include concepts such as ecocide and the war ecology theory. According to this study, the Tigray war created a serious socio-ecological crisis that negates all the environmental improvements that have been made over the past few decades, making a close link between environmental destruction and humanitarian/ livelihood crises. Based on the findings above, the recommendations are that ecosystem restoration be undertaken through reforestation, restoration of water and soil conservation infrastructure and environmental governance institutions. Further research is needed on the long-term effects of ecological recovery and post-conflict resilience of communities in Tigray.

Abstract

International youth migration has increasingly become a defining socio-economic challenge, particularly in ecologically vulnerable and conflict-affected regions like the Horn of Africa. This systematic review examines the compounding impacts of the 2020–2022 Tigray war, post-war environmental degradation, and socio-economic crises on youth out-migration in Northern Ethiopia. Adhering to the PRISMA guidelines, a rigorous literature search of electronic databases and gray literature sources published between 2020 and 2026 yielded 43 eligible studies for qualitative synthesis. The findings reveal that the intersection of prolonged armed conflict and severe environmental shocks such as recurrent droughts, land degradation, and the destruction of agricultural and livestock buffers has severely eroded rural livelihoods. Consequently, traditional coping mechanisms have broken down, transforming youth migration from a standard livelihood diversification strategy into an often unmanaged, forced survival mechanism. While remittances offer temporary relief to struggling households, mass out-migration accelerates rural labor shortages, deepens dependency ratios, and exposes young people to the severe hazards of irregular migration. The review highlights critical institutional gaps and emphasizes that sustainable post-war recovery requires integrated policies combining environmental restoration, rural livelihood revitalization, and youth-targeted economic opportunities.
