Tigrayan forces fighting Ethiopia's central government have withdrawn from neighbouring regions in the country's north, a Tigrayan spokesman said on Monday. The 13-month war has destabilised an already fragile region, sent 60,000 refugees into Sudan, pulled Ethiopian soldiers away from war-torn Somalia and drawn in armed forces from neighbouring Eritrea. We have just completed the withdrawal of our forces from both #Amhara&#Afar regions. The US State Department is aware of the reports of Tigrayan withdrawal, said spokesman Ned Price. "If we do see a movement of Tigrayan forces back into Tigray that is something we would welcome.
