[GaroweOnline] The Æthiopian National Defense Force on Thursday said that 272 Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) rebel fighters were killed after the group's failed offensive on Tuesday night.
One part of the new Ethiopian Peoples' Forces Alliance. The Æthiopian army said in a statement that the forces "strongly repelled" the attack in the northeastern part of the country, eventually neutralizing several forces of Evil and seizing various types of weapons and ammunition.
According to the statement, the rebel group attempted to infiltrate the North Wollo zone in the country's Amhara region by deploying its forces across several districts, but was forced to retreat due to "the heavy blow it received, losing its assets and manpower."
The Æthiopian army said that in addition to the 272 TPLF rebel fighters killed following the group's failed offensive, "a large number of enemy forces were captured, and 260 enemy forces were maimed."
The latest escalation comes amid heightened tensions in Æthiopia's northernmost Tigray region, following Sunday's announcement of a new alliance formed by seven Æthiopian opposition and gangs, according to local media.
On Wednesday, the African Union
...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful...
called for utmost restraint and immediate de-escalation amid rising security tensions in northern Æthiopia.
Recent developments have raised concerns about a possible relapse into conflict against the backdrop of the two-year war between Æthiopian federal forces and TPLF-loyal troops from November 2020 to November 2022.
The two-year conflict left millions in urgent need of humanitarian assistance before the two parties signed the landmark Pretoria peace accord in South Africa to end hostilities.
