For now, Ethiopian troops will stay in two liberated regions and not cross into the war-ravaged northern region of Tigray, a government spokesman said Thursday, a day after humanitarian sources said air strikes hit a key Tigrayan power station.
But the government will take whatever measures necessary to ensure the party ruling Tigray - the Tigray People's Liberation Front - does not present a threat, government spokesman Legesse Tulu told a news conference.
Tigrayan forces then invaded the Amhara and Afar regions in July, saying they wanted to break a humanitarian aid blockade on Tigray but withdrew this month after also suffering heavy battlefield casualties. The government has denied U.N. accusations it blocked food aid into famine-hit Tigray. The strike jeopardizes power access in the northern region, already scant following 13 months of conflict with the federal government.
