Ethiopia’s federal government says it has ordered its forces to not advance deeper into the war-ravaged northern region of Tigray. “The government will take further steps to make sure that [the Tigrayan forces’] desire won’t arise again in the future. Earlier this week, the leader of the Tigrayan forces said its fighters have been ordered to withdraw back to Tigray. Access to the national electricity and communications networks was shut down in Tigray after federal forces left the region in late June. “Tigray forces appear to be in a weakened position after giving up all the areas they controlled,” he said.
