埃塞俄比亚北部提格雷地区的叛军说，他们已经暂时撤出了该地区的首府默克莱，因为与国家军队的战斗正在向该市移动。
Rebel forces in Ethiopia's northern Tigray region have said they have temporarily withdrawn from the regional capital, Mekelle, as fighting with the national army moves towards the city.

TPLF chairman Debretsion Gebremichael said that while they were leaving Mekelle for the timebeing, the conflict remained fluid and the group would "continue its work from another location".
他将这描述为一次深思熟虑的战略举措，他说：“我们将在我们选择的地方攻击敌人，而不是他为我们选择的地方。“在2020年至2022年提格雷内战期间，蒂格雷人阵也采取了类似的举措，在联邦军队失去对梅克莱的控制后诉诸游击队袭击。
He described it as a deliberate strategic move, saying: "We will attack the enemy where we choose, not where he chooses for us." During the 2020-2022 civil war in Tigray, the TPLF made a similar move and resorted to guerrilla attacks after losing control of Mekelle to federal forces.
