The strategic town of Dessie in northern Ethiopia is 'under full control' of Tigray People's Liberation Front, claims spokesperson of the rebel group
Much of northern Ethiopia is under a communications blackout and access for journalists is restricted, making battlefield claims difficult to verify independently.
Tigrayan rebels have secured "full control" of the strategic town of Dessie in northern Ethiopia, a spokesman for the group claimed, dealing a major blow to the federal government in its nearly year-long war. "The city of Dessie is under full control of our forces," Kindeya Gebrehiwot, a spokesman for the Tigray People's Liberation Front , said in a tweet on Saturday.The fighters pushed Ethiopian government forces from Dessie and were headed towards the town of Kombolcha, Getachew Reda, spokesperson for the Tigray People's Liberation Front , told Reuters by satellite phone from an undisclosed location.
The capture of Dessie would be a strategic gain for the Tigrayan fighters against the central government forces who are trying to dislodge them from the Amhara region.
