Eritrea will pull out its troops from Ethiopia's troubled Tigray region, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said Friday, a potential breakthrough in a drawn-out conflict that has seen atrocities carried out against civilians.
For months, the Eritrean and Ethiopian governments had repeatedly denied allegations that Eritrean forces were in Tigray and were committing grave human right violations, contradicting accounts from residents, aid workers, diplomats and even some Ethiopian civilian and military officials.
