📍Military Build-Up Near Eritrean Border
Ethiopian deployments are rising near the Eritrean border. Forces are positioned at Adi Aweala (≈40 km from Badme), Leyto (≈5 km from Tsorona) and near Rama (5 km). But Federal troops face stiff resistance in the area rom Tigray forces, with clashes reported yesterday at Adi Arbaete near Rama.
📍Ethiopia’s Navy Commander declared the country will bring the Red Sea “back to its motherland,” warning that if diplomacy fails, other means will be used. He said Ethiopia cannot accept remaining landlocked with the sea only 60 km away and described Eritrea’s independence as an “illegal and unjust” process.
📍Tigray Deputy Leader Ammanuel Assefa accused Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed of staging a weapons exhibition for foreign observers to mislead about Tigrayan capabilities. He insisted Tigrayan forces have not been defeated and that their weapons remain intact, saying the battlefield will challenge the government’s narrative.
📍Federal Forces Seize Tigray forces Equipment
Ethiopia’s military says it seized 74 TDF communication devices, mortar optics and a vehicle in Debre Damo, according to state-affiliated media.
📍Amhara Fano forces say government troops are suffering heavy losses and have cut telecommunications in districts including Hagere Mariam and Minjar Shenkora to limit information about the fighting.
📍Alleged Execution of Tigrayan POWs
Disturbing footage circulating online purportedly shows Ethiopian soldiers executing captured Tigrayan fighters at close range in Bizet. Tigrayan sources accuse commanders from Army Divisions 15 and 92, who allegedly defected, of betraying the prisoners.
📍The United Nations has allocated $3 million in emergency assistance for Ethiopian refugees who fled to Kenya after fighting around Moyale.
