Ethiopia government forces close in on Tigray capital after ultimatum

The Ethiopian government said it has surrounded Tigray's regional capital, but the dissident TPLF has denied the reports. The three-week conflict has destabilized both Ethiopia and the wider region.

Ethiopian federal forces on Monday encircled the Tigray regional capital Mekele, according to a government spokesman.

The development came after Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed issued a 72-hour surrender ultimatum directed at the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) on Sunday.

"The beginning of the end is within reach," government spokesman Redwan Hussein said, after nearly three weeks of fighting that has destabilized both Ethiopia and the wider Horn of Africa.

The TPLF led an armed struggle in 1991 that toppled Ethiopia's brutal Derg regime. They ruled Ethiopia for nearly three decades until Abiy was appointed in 2018.

Since Abiy's rise to power, Tigrayan leaders have complained of being unfairly targeted in corruption prosecutions, removed from top positions and broadly scapegoated for the country's woes.

The Tigray region has been facing a rebellion since earlier this month. On November 4, security forces loyal to the TPLF attacked the Northern Command of the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) in Mekele, killing several people.
