đź“Ť AFS Forces Join Together in Fighting Near Eritrean Border. Heavy fighting has broken out near Badme, Rama and Gemahlo between Ethiopian federal forces and Alliance for Survival (AFS) forces. A significant new development is that AFS forces have reportedly united their troops to fight together against federal forces rather than operating separately.
📍 Another Tigrayan General Vows to Defeat Ethiopian Army. General Weldegergis Teklay, known as “Sherifo,” appeared in a new video alongside senior Tigrayan military leaders, vowing that Tigray forces would defeat the Ethiopian federal army. He dismissed the current government troops as inexperienced recruits, noting that Tigray forces had defeated veteran commandos with 27 years of experience during the 2020–2022 war. He described the Tigray Forces (TDF) are united and promised a swift, strategic counter-offensive to remove Ethiopian army units from Tigray.
đź“Ť Amhara Fano Claims Major Victory Near Sudanese Border. Fighting in the Gondar area of Amhara has continued for a second consecutive day. The Ethiopian Air Force has reportedly conducted intensive drone surveillance in the area. Fano forces have released footage they say shows Ethiopian government soldiers captured as prisoners of war near the Sudanese border.
đź“Ť Moyale Conflict Spreads to Seven Districts. The violent conflict around Moyale has reportedly expanded to seven districts, causing significant displacement.
đź“Ť Amhara Fano Commander Rejects Surrender Reports. Ethiopian government sources have been circulating claims that Asres Mare, a prominent Amhara Fano leader and head of PR, has surrendered to the government. However, the commander has publicly rejected the reports, declaring that he will appear in Addis Ababa after the government is overthrown.
📍 Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed met Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Antalya, Turkey. Their discussions reportedly covered trade, security in the Horn of Africa and Ethiopia’s preparations to host COP32 next year.
đź“Ť New Appointment Raises Tensions Over Western Tigray. The federal-appointed Tigray caretaker administration named Daniel Negash as Chief Coordinator for disputed Western Tigray, triggering fresh tensions with Amhara. It remains unclear how he will operate while Amhara militias control the area.
Extra: Delayed Salaries Fuel Frustration Among Tigray Civil Servants. The federal government has reportedly sent back-pay funds to Mekelle for Tigray’s 130,000 civil servants. However, payments are conditional on employees appearing in person to verify that they have not joined the insurgency. The verification process has caused lengthy delays and growing frustration. Tigray’s caretaker administration has now promised that salary payments will begin by the end of this week.
