Ethiopian PM Abiy Ahmed said his country needed to reconcile, weeks after defeating a rebel attempt on Addis Ababa. In his Christmas message, Abiy said reconciliation was necessary to defeat what he called Ethiopia's 'historical enemies'. In November, federal forces and their allies beat back Tigray Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF) rebels from cities in Afar and Amhara regions. Abiy himself spent days on the frontline commanding operations against the rebels. It started after fighters loyal to the TPLF attacked and killed federal forces.
