Ethiopia said on Saturday its forces seized another town
“Our forces have now fully liberated Adigrat town from TPLF militia as of today. Together with the rest of Ethiopia, we will work to ensure that all humanitarian needs will be addressed,” said Abiy.
“The overall safety and well-being of the people of Tigray is of paramount importance to the federal government and we will do all that is necessary to ensure stability prevails in the Tigray region and that our citizens are free from harm and want.”
“[Federal] forces are very much interested in wanton killing of civilians, wanton bombardment of towns,” Tigray presidential adviser Getachew Reda said during a news briefing.
“The primary task of the special envoys is to engage all sides to the conflict with a view to ending hostilities, creating conditions for an inclusive national dialogue to resolve all issues that led to the conflict, and restoring peace and stability to Ethiopia,” the AU said in a statement.
“News circulating that the envoys will be travelling to Ethiopia to mediate between the federal government and TPLF’s criminal element is fake,” a government task force on Tigray tweeted on Saturday.
