Peace has not fully descended in the Horn of Africa region as the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, (TPLF), is engaging in armed hostilities against the federal government and Eritrean troops in parts of the Tigray region. According to reports, fighting is still going on in many parts of the Tigray region.
The TPLF leadership says that the government continued to record heavy losses in terms of fighters and materials. However, the TPLF claims that the media was instructed by the government not to report such incidents.
Ethiopia called the operation to dislodge the TPLF, a law and order operation in early November. Later that month, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed declared the operation over with the capture of the regional capital Mekelle by federal forces.
The ease with which Mekelle was taken was seen by analysts as a voluntary withdrawal by the TPLF leaders. Reports of shelling have been corroborated by stories of victims reported by the media weeks after the operation was declared over.
