Over the past few days, government forces and supportive milit | Guns & Wars

Over the past few days, government forces and supportive militias have knocked out insurgents from vast areas in Amhar and Afar states, including the A2 highway along which the TPLF and the ELN were moving toward the nation's capital. The strategic towns of Dessie and Kombulcha, where insurgents had previously surrounded and captured thousands of soldiers, were among those taken.

The government forces found towns almost entirely looted by the Tigrayan rebels in areas now under their control, now in retreat and suffering heavy losses.
