It was not immediately clear if the troops’ movements out of Shire, one of Tigray’s largest towns, was part of an Eritrean withdrawal from the region or merely redeployment. A Shire resident said the Eritrean convoys were seen leaving the town from early in the morning until about 5 p.m. on Friday. A second aid worker said hundreds of Eritrean vehicles had left Shire but that some soldiers remained in the town.
