Ethiopia says 3 Tigray towns taken amid resumed fighting

Associated Press  

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — Ethiopian authorities say they have taken control of three towns in Tigray, the embattled northern region that has seen a resurgence of fighting since August. The three towns were taken “without fighting in urban areas,” it said, adding that authorities will coordinate with humanitarian groups in the areas that have come under the control of Ethiopian forces. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Monday the situation in northern Ethiopia is “spiraling out of control.” The U.N. and the African Union are urging an immediate cease-fire. Fighting resumed between Tigray forces and federal troops in August, bringing an end to a cease-fire in place since March that had allowed much-needed aid to enter the region.
