WorldEthiopia's Tigray rebels abandon regional capital Mekelle as pro-government forces advance

Tigray People's Liberation Front rebels were leaving Mekelle, the regional capital in northern Ethiopia, on Saturday, according to local reports. The TPLF has fought federal forces and pro-government militias since September 23 and attacked neighbouring states, prompting fears of a return to an all-out civil war like the one from 2020 to 2022.
