当地记者和居民对法新社表示，埃塞俄比亚提格雷人民解放阵线（TPLF）的反叛武装于周六放弃该国北部的地区首府梅克勒。
Rebels from the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) in Ethiopia were abandoning their regional capital of Mekkele in the north of the country on Saturday, a local journalist and residents told AFP.
自9月23日以来，TPLF一直与联邦政府军和亲政府民兵作战，并向邻近州发动袭击，引发了人们对爆发类似2020年至2022年全面内战的担忧。
The TPLF has been fighting against federal forces and pro-government militias since September 23 and launching attacks into neighbouring states, raising fears of an all-out civil war similar to that of 2020-2022.
