PM says federal troops fighting on four fronts, and US urges ceasefire negotiations
Ethiopia’s prime minister has called on his supporters to redouble their efforts in the country’s war, as rival Tigray forces claimed to have seized key cities on a main road towards the capital.
A move on the capital, Addis Ababa, would signal a new phase in the conflict, which has killed thousands of people since the fighting broke out almost a year ago between Ethiopian government troops and Tigray forces in the country’s northern region.
