Asharq reports federal gains in Tigray

Asharq News reported on November 13 that Ethiopian federal forces and allied Tigray Peace Force units had gained ground, including control of Mekelle and strategic border areas. The report described losses, defections and internal divisions within the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), citing assessments from Ethiopian officials and allied-force leaders. The TPLF leader said its forces remained active and would continue fighting, while government officials questioned the front’s cohesion and ability to negotiate. The outlook for the fighting remains uncertain. Separately, the federal government announced a six-month caretaker administration in October, tasked with restoring institutions and essential services, repairing war-damaged infrastructure, preparing elections and facilitating internally displaced people’s return. That return is part of the administration’s announced mandate, not a reported completed outcome.
