Tigray rebels announce plan to withdraw from neighboring Ethiopian regions

MSN News KHARTOUM, Sudan — The spokesman for Tigrayan rebels waging war with Ethiopia’s government confirmed Monday that rebel troops would be withdrawing from the neighboring regions of Afar and Amhara, where fierce fighting has displaced more than 300,000 people since July.

At the time, the TPLF’s spokesman, Getachew Reda, told The Washington Post that pulling out of Amhara and Afar was “out of the question until the siege on Tigray is lifted.”
