Pro-Government Tigray Peace Forces Commander Claims Near-Total Control of Region

The commander of the Tigray Peace Forces, which are aligned with the Ethiopian government, has claimed that his forces are close to taking control of the entire Tigray region.

The statement described full control as approaching, rather than announcing that it had already been achieved.

The brief update did not identify the commander by name or specify which areas the forces currently hold. It also provided no timeline for the claimed advance.

Further details were promised, but the initial announcement contained no supporting information to establish the extent of control on the ground.
