But sporadic fighting continues in some parts of Tigray, according to residents and United Nations assessments. The government has acknowledged isolated incidents of shooting but has said that most fighting has stopped in Tigray. Mulu Nega, head of Tigray's government-appointed interim administration, told Reuters he had sent a team to the Gijet area to investigate. The prime minister's spokeswoman and the head of a government task force on Tigray did not respond to messages seeking comment. Both sides in the Tigray conflict, which began in early November, have accused each other of abuses and denied responsibility for carrying them out.
