Ethiopia: federal troops retakes key towns from rebels

The Ethiopian government says the federal troops have retaken the strategic towns of Dessie and Bombolcha seized last month by Tigrayan fighters.

The federal authorities say they’ve made significant advances against the Tigrayans in recent days.

The leader of the Tigray People Liberation Front (TPLF) says his forces have withdrawn from parts of the Afar and Amhara regions.

Debretsion Gebremichael said he didn’t want to give details of why they had pulled back at a time when they were closing in on the capital Addis Ababa.
