After Tigrayan forces recaptured major cities in Southern Tigray and made advances toward Amhara region, Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed on Wednesday vowed to repel these fresh offensives.
"The government will do whatever is necessary to defend these attacks being carried out by our internal and external enemies," he said in a statement posted on Twitter.
