Tigray: The former rulers of Ethiopia’s Tigray region said on Monday they were back in control of the regional capital Mekelle after nearly eight months of fighting.
Ethiopia’s government on Monday declared an immediate, unilateral cease-fire in its Tigray region.
The announcement came as witnesses reported anti-government troops in the streets of Tigray’s capital, Mekelle.
All sides have been accused of carrying out mass killings and human rights violations.
Ethiopia’s government said it was declaring a ceasefire following a request from the interim regional administration in Tigray, which Addis Ababa appointed after ousting TPLF forces.
