Tigray forces in Ethiopia say 65% of fighters left the front line

Al Jazeera  

Withdrawal reported as federal and Tigray regional governments finalise a plan on how to disarm the rebels. “We have accomplished 65 percent disengagement of our army,” Tadesse Wereda, commander-in-chief of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front said in a video posted on the TPLF’s Facebook page late on Saturday. It pitted the Tigrayan forces against federal troops and their allies, which included neighbouring Eritrea and fighters from Ethiopia’s Amhara region, which borders Tigray. Tadesse said the TPLF was still maintaining fighters in some locations “where there is a presence of anti-peace forces”. Ethiopia’s allies are also looting towns, arresting and killing civilians, and relocating thousands of people from a disputed part of Tigray despite the peace pact, residents and aid workers say.
