Ethiopian rebel group, Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), has said it is moving away from regions it captured from neighbouring territories in what may or may not lead to ceasefire.
In a letter addressed to the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, TPLF chairman, Dr Debretsion GebreMichael, said besides their withdrawal, the group was seeking for the establishment of a no-fly zone for “hostile flights of aircrafts and drones” flying over Tigray, but with the exemption of humanitarian and civilian deliveries.
