Ethiopia's Tigray rebels abandon regional capital Mekelle as government forces enter city
Ethiopian federal forces have entered the capital of the northern Tigray region and seized its airport, witnesses said Saturday, reversing a takeover by rebels from the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) that prompted the suspension of commercial flights last month. The TPLF has been fighting against pro-government forces since September 23, raising fears of an all-out civil war similar to that of 2020-2022.
