ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) – Eritrean soldiers have pulled out of the towns of Shire and Axum in northern Ethiopia’s Tigray region, three eyewitnesses told Reuters.
Eritrean forces fought alongside Ethiopia’s military during a two-year war in Tigray. Ethiopia’s federal government signed a ceasefire agreement with Tigray regional forces last month, but Eritrea was not a party to that accord.
