Ethiopia must be ready to make "sacrifices" to "salvage" the country, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said Saturday, as fighting in the north intensifies between government forces and Tigrayan..
His announcement came a day after nine rebel groups said they would join forces in an alliance built around the Tigray People’s Liberation Front , which has been locked in a year-long war against Abiy’s government. Last weekend, the TPLF said it had taken two strategic cities in the region of Amhara, where its fighters had advanced after retaking their Tigray bastion in June.
The government, which on Tuesday declared a nationwide emergency, has denied any major rebel advance or threat on the capital, vowing to press on to victory in “an existential war”. Faced with the recent escalation in fighting, the United Nations’ Security Council on Friday called for a ceasefire in a rare joint declaration on the issue.
