...there are a number of versions of their name, but basically they’re ethnic revolutionary Communists — Stalinist type. They appeared in 1975, with fellow Communist groups conquered Ethiopia by 1991, and were finally driven out of office in 2018. They’ve not taken their exile from power well...
in Amhara state, Bloomberg reported on October 9.

"The federal forces are carrying out mainly air strikes, including the use of drones, and artillery is also involved," the statement said.

According to Reda Getachev, a member of the NFOT executive committee, large formations of the armed forces have been spotted near the borders of the state of Tygrai.

As reported by IA REGNUM , in the Ethiopian region of Tigray, the armed conflict has been going on for more than ten months.
