“Our army left the front lines and moved to the place prepared for them to camp. Our forces withdrew on vehicles and on foot.”War erupted in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region in November 2020, pitting the Tigrayan forces against federal troops and their allies that included fighters from the Amhara region that borders Tigray and Eritrean soldiers.

Tadesse said TPLF was still maintaining fighters in some locations “where there is a presence of anti-peace forces”. He did not name the locations.
