In a recent development, EthiopianNational Defense Forces (ENDF) had retaken the Chifra town from the Tigrayan People's Liberation Front (TPLF), state media stated on Sunday. It is the first significant victory over rebel Tigrayan troops since Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed stepped on the battlefront two days ago, TRT World reported.
According to a tweet from the state-owned network Fana Broadcasting, the Ethiopian national flag, as well as the flag of Afar state, flew above the town on Sunday, which also noted that Afar Special Forces assisted in its recapture. After the battle between the Ethiopian army and TPLF forces escalated this month, the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) took Chifra, on the boundary between the northern Afar and Amhara provinces.
