The Ethiopian federal army has regained control of the town of Zalambessa, located near the border with Eritrea, where Eritrean troops had been positioned, reports RFI on Thursday.
For the past week, the Ethiopian army has been conducting a counter-offensive against Tigrayan rebels in the northern part of the country. This operation has enabled the recapture of several towns held by the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), while also pushing back Eritrean forces that had entered Ethiopian territory.
