After months of fighting, forces of the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front say they are withdrawing their forces to their home Tigray region. The TPLF forces entered the neighboring Amhara and Afar regions after the Ethiopian government announced a unilateral ceasefire in June. But in Monday’s press briefing, the government communications service state minister spoke of the advance by government forces in North Wollo Zone of Amhara region. In a letter addressed to the U.N. Secretary General, Tigray region head Debretsion Gebremichael also made several appeals. Gebremichael also shared his concern about the situation in Northern and Western Tigray, where humanitarian conditions are dire.
