Region’s former president Abay Weldu and former vice president Abraham Tekeste are among those captured, according to state-run TV. Ethiopia’s military has said it killed 15 members of the Tigray region’s former ruling party and captured eight others. The latest announcement about those killed and captured comes after the military said on Friday it arrested Sebhat Nega, a founding member of the TPLF. The captured former TPLF president Abay was president of the region from 2010 to 2018. Air strikes and battles since early November in Tigray are believed to have killed thousands of people.
