Tigray rebels reportedly take control of the Ethiopian town of Lalibela, a UN World Heritage site, as PM Abiy 'heads to the war front' again
More than a year of conflict has plunged 9.4 million people"into a critical situation of food assistance" in the regions of Tigray, Afar and Amhara.
Tigrayan rebels "are in the town centre, there's no fighting," a resident told AFP news agency on Sunday. Government spokesperson Legesse Tulu and a military spokesman did not respond to requests for comment on the reported recapture of the town by forces loyal to the Tigray People's Liberation Front .
War in northern Ethiopia erupted in November 2020 after Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed sent the army to the northern Tigray region to remove local authorities from the TPLF who challenged his authority after attacking military bases.
