Opposition fighters in northern Ethiopia's Tigray withdraw from regional capital

Leaders of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) have announced their withdrawal from the regional capital of Tigray, Ethiopia. This strategic retreat follows a period of renewed fighting in the northern region, effectively opening the city for the return of federal troops and their allied forces.

The withdrawal marks a significant shift in the ongoing conflict between the rebellious political group and the Ethiopian federal government. The departure of opposition forces from the capital signals a potential change in the territorial control of the region as federal authorities prepare to re-enter the area.
