Ethiopian forces retreated from Dessie, a strategic town in the Amhara region that borders Tigray, residents told AFP on Saturday following heavy fighting and power outages in the city.
Ethiopia's federal government has been embroiled in a nearly year-long war with the Tigray rebels Tigrayan rebels said Saturday they have secured "full control" of the strategic northern Ethiopian city of Dessie, sparking a furious denial by the government even as residents reported a retreat by federal forces from the area.
Ethiopia's government denied the rebels' claim, saying: "Dessie and its surroundings are still under our security forces." TPLF fighters "entered the city, with ENDF soldiers not seen," said another resident who gave his name only as Mohammed. On Saturday afternoon, as fighting receded in Dessie, TPLF rebels wandered the streets while civilians piled into buses headed southwards, a local shopkeeper told AFP.
According to a hospital official, 10 people died in an air strike on Thursday, while the UN said two strikes on the Tigrayan capital Mekele on October 18 killed three children. Another person died in a separate attack this month.
