Forces from Ethiopiaâs northern Tigray region have launched attacks in neighboring Afar, an Afar spokesperson said on Monday, marking the expansion of an eight-month-old conflict in an area previously intact.
Tigrayan fighters entered Afar on Saturday and Afar forces and allied militias were still fighting them on Monday, Afar spokesman Ahmed Koloyta said.
âNow (the Ethiopian military forces) are on their way and we will work with them to eliminate (the Tigrayan forces),â he said.
Getachew Reda, a spokesperson for the Tigrayan forces, confirmed that they had fought this weekend in Afar.
âWe are not interested in territorial gains in Afar, we are more interested in the degradation of the enemyâs combat capabilities,â he said by satellite phone.
