Large numbers of Eritrean troops have left the town of Shire in Ethiopia’s Tigray region where they fought in support of government forces during a two-year civil war, a resident and two humanitarian workers said on Saturday.

A damaged Eritrean military tank is seen near the town of Wikro, Ethiopia.

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. “I have counted 300 cars,” says the resident, who asked not to be identified for safety reasons. “They left with their heavy weapons too.” A humanitarian worker in Shire, who also requested anonymity, as he had seen hundreds of cars packed with soldiers headed north towards the border.
