Tigray residents say Ethiopia’s allies – Eritrean troops and soldiers from the neighbouring Amhara region – are yet to leave, despite a truce. Thousands of people demonstrated on Tuesday in northern Ethiopia’s Tigray region to demand the return of people displaced by a two-year war there and the withdrawal of outside forces now that the conflict has ended. Eritrean troops – who are not mentioned in the truce – also remain inside Ethiopian territory in several border towns, according to humanitarian workers. Tigrayan forces have begun disarming, an interim government has been set up and many basic services have been restored. Spokespeople for Eritrea and Ethiopia’s governments and the regional administration of Amhara did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
