Forces from Ethiopia’s northern region of Tigray conceded on Tuesday that they had lost control of the populous town of Shire to the Ethiopian military and their allies, urging Tigrayans to fight back.

Shire, located 140 km northwest of Tigray’s regional capital Mekelle, is one of the biggest towns in Tigray and hosts tens of thousands of people who were displaced from other areas by the conflict. The conflict is rooted in long-running rivalries between regional power blocs over control of Ethiopia as a whole and in deep disagreements over how power should be balanced between federal and regional authorities.
