Ethiopian Police Ask Residents in Tigray Regional Capital to Help Restore Order after Rebels Pullout
Ethiopia's federal police fanned out Friday across the regional capital of Tigray after anti-government forces pulled out, driving in vehicles and calling on residents over loudspeakers to help establish a new administration following the rebels' withdrawal. Over the weekend, government-allied fighters had entered Mekelle, the capital of Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region, after the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, or TPLF, announced its withdrawal.
