埃塞俄比亚梅克勒——据与埃塞俄比亚政府结盟的指挥官称,厄立特里亚士兵已进入埃塞俄比亚北部的两个城镇;其中一名军事官员正在其中一个城镇进行监视。当地居民报告称,提格雷反对派武装已从希雷地区撤出。
MEKELLE, Ethiopia — Eritrean soldiers entered two towns in northern Ethiopia, a commander allied with Ethiopia’s government said, with military officers conducting surveillance in one of them, as residents reported that Tigrayan opposition forces had withdrawn from Shire.
驻扎在梅克勒的提格雷和平部队指挥官埃尔米亚斯·阿巴巴布(Ermiyas Ababu)表示,厄立特里亚军队于周二进入了阿迪格拉特(Adigrat),周三进入了伊达加哈穆斯(Idaga Hamus)。他援引在该地区执行任务的士兵的报告称,厄立特里亚的军事官员和指挥官正在伊达加哈穆斯进行监视活动。
Ermiyas Ababu, a Tigray Peace Force commander based in Mekelle, said Eritrean personnel entered Adigrat on Tuesday and Idaga Hamus on Wednesday. He said Eritrean military officers and commanders were conducting surveillance in Idaga Hamus, citing reports from his personnel in the area.
与此同时,冲突监测组织ACLED表示,厄立特里亚军队于周三从泽兰贝萨(Zelambesa)越过边境;当这些军队向伊达加哈穆斯进发时,埃塞俄比亚的军用无人机在瓜达(Guada)地区对它们进行了袭击。
Separately, conflict monitoring group ACLED said Eritrean troops crossed the border at Zelambesa on Wednesday and Ethiopian military drones targeted them at Guada as they traveled toward Idaga Hamus.
美联社无法独立核实这些报道的真实性。ACLED通过东非问题分析师贾拉勒·格塔切乌·比鲁(Jalale Getachew Birru)提供了相关信息,但截至周四上午,该组织仍未对相关质疑作出回应。
The Associated Press could not independently verify either account. ACLED, which provided its account through East Africa analyst Jalale Getachew Birru, had not responded Thursday morning to an inquiry about the basis for its claims.
这些指控发生在埃塞俄比亚政府军与包括提格雷人民解放阵线(TPLF)在内的反对派联盟之间战事再度升级的背景下。
The allegations come amid renewed fighting between Ethiopian government forces and an opposition alliance that includes the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, or TPLF.
厄立特里亚信息部长耶马内·格布雷梅斯凯尔(Yemane Gebremeskel)周三指责埃塞俄比亚编造这些指控,以作为对其国家采取军事行动的借口。他在社交媒体上发文称,埃塞俄比亚执政党正在制造“‘自卫’的虚假叙事”。不过,他并未具体回应ACLED所描述的军事行动或袭击事件。
Eritrean Information Minister Yemane Gebremeskel accused Ethiopia on Wednesday of fabricating allegations to justify military action against his country. In a post on X, he accused Ethiopia’s ruling party of creating “a fallacious narrative of ‘self-defense.’”He did not specifically address the movements or strikes described by ACLED.
埃塞俄比亚总理阿比·艾哈迈德(Abiy Ahmed)周一重申,作为一个内陆国家,埃塞俄比亚必须能够通向红海。埃塞俄比亚在1993年厄立特里亚独立后失去了海岸线。埃塞俄比亚外交部周一表示,该国仍致力于与邻国进行对话与和平合作。
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed reiterated Monday that his landlocked country must have access to the Red Sea. Ethiopia lost its coastline when Eritrea became independent in 1993. Ethiopia’s Foreign Ministry said Monday that it remained committed to dialogue and peaceful engagement with its neighbors.
厄立特里亚否认了埃塞俄比亚关于其支持提格雷人民解放阵线(TPLF)的指控。上周,厄立特里亚宣布断绝外交关系,此前埃塞俄比亚驱逐了10名厄立特里亚外交官,并关闭了其在阿斯马拉的大使馆。
Eritrea has denied Ethiopia’s allegations that it supports the TPLF . Last week, it announced it was severing diplomatic ties after Ethiopia expelled 10 Eritrean diplomats and closed its embassy in Asmara.
在舍尔,居民梅苏德·艾哈迈德和阿巴迪·哈莱福姆周三晚间通过电话告诉美联社记者,他们当天早些时候目睹了提格雷人民解放阵线部队撤离。梅苏德说,政府军和盟军当时尚未进入该镇。
In Shire, residents Mesu’ud Ahmed and Abadi Halefom told the AP by telephone Wednesday evening that they had witnessed TPLF forces withdrawing earlier that day. Government troops and allied forces had not entered when they spoke, Mesu’ud said.
舍尔一直是提格雷战乱流离失所者的主要避难所,也是人道主义援助行动的基地。
Shire has been a major refuge for people displaced by fighting in Tigray and a base for humanitarian aid operations.
“提格雷人民解放阵线撤离了,但政府军及其盟友尚未进入城镇,不过我们听说他们要来了,”梅苏德说。“舍尔的所有人都关闭了店铺,并转移了商品,以防抢劫。”周日,在提格雷人民解放阵线宣布撤军后,政府盟军进入了提格雷首府梅克勒。提格雷和平部队周三在那里实施宵禁,时间为晚上8点至次日早上6点。
“TPLF left but the government forces and their allies did not enter the town but we hear that they are coming,” Mesu’ud said. “Everyone has closed their shops in Shire, and moved their merchandise for fear of looting.”Government-allied fighters entered Mekelle , Tigray’s regional capital, on Sunday after the TPLF announced its withdrawal. The Tigray Peace Force imposed a curfew there Wednesday from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.
该部队包括提格雷人民解放阵线武装翼的前成员。埃尔米亚斯周二表示,该部队正与埃塞俄比亚联邦军队合作扩大控制范围。
The force includes former members of the TPLF’s armed wing. Ermiyas said Tuesday that it was working with Ethiopian federal troops to expand its control.
提格雷人民解放阵线上个月与其他六个反对派组织结成联盟,旨在推翻阿比。上月底战斗升级,破坏了2022年11月结束那场毁灭性两年战争的和平协议。
The TPLF joined six other opposition groups last month in an alliance seeking to oust Abiy. Fighting escalated late last month, undermining the November 2022 peace agreement that ended a devastating two-year war.
