哈勒德·卡兹希哈,阿米尔·阿曼·基亚罗,内罗毕,肯尼亚 — — 一名前提格雷领导人现为埃塞俄比亚总理顾问,周日承诺该地区将出现“可见的变化”,此前政府支持的部队在与反对武装力量的新一轮冲突后收复了梅克莱城。
KHALED KAZZIHA, AMIR AMAN KIYARO NAIROBI, Kenya — A former Tigray leader now advising Ethiopia’s prime minister on Sunday promised a “visible change” in the region after government-allied units retook Mekelle city following renewed fighting with opposition forces.
埃塞俄比亚航空公司于周日恢复了飞往梅克莱城的航班,这是自提格雷人民解放阵线领导的叛军于9月23日占领该机场以来的首次。他们于10月3日撤离,当时政府支持的武装部队进入该城。
Ethiopian Airlines resumed flights to the city of Mekelle on Sunday for the first time since rebels led by the Tigray People’s Liberation Front seized the airport on Sept. 23. They withdrew Oct. 3, when government-allied fighters entered the city.
提格雷地区的新一轮冲突削弱了2022年结束两年战争的和平协议,随着埃塞俄比亚与邻国厄立特里亚之间的紧张局势加剧,人们担心可能引发更广泛的冲突。
Renewed fighting in Tigray has undermined the 2022 peace agreement that ended a two-year war, as mounting tensions between Ethiopia and neighboring Eritrea have raised fears of a wider conflict.
“我在此场合想向你们保证,我们将带来可见的变化,一种超越单纯希望的变化,”埃塞俄比亚总理阿比·艾哈迈德的顾问盖塔切乌·雷达在梅克莱机场对前来迎接他和情报局长雷德万·胡赛因的支持者们这样说道。他未作进一步阐述。
“I would like to assure you on this occasion that we will bring visible change, a change beyond mere hope,” Getachew Reda, an adviser to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, told supporters who greeted him and intelligence chief Redwan Hussein at Mekelle airport. He did not elaborate.
根据比利时根特大学研究人员的数据,2020年至2022年提格雷战争导致约50万人死于暴力、饥荒和卫生服务体系的崩溃。
The 2020-2022 war in Tigray caused about 500,000 civilian deaths from violence, famine and the collapse of health services, according to researchers at Ghent University in Belgium.
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。
The Tigray People’s Liberation Front joined six other opposition groups last month in an alliance seeking to oust Abiy.
联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯周五呼吁各方停止敌对行动并恢复对话。他警告称,冲突可能进一步 destabilize 更广泛的地区。
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres on Friday urged all parties to cease hostilities and resume dialogue. He warned that fighting risked further destabilizing the wider region.
埃塞俄比亚周五向联合国安理会表示,该国正在采取自卫措施,并指责厄立特里亚越境派兵并占领埃塞俄比亚北部部分地区。埃塞俄比亚当局此前曾指责厄立特里亚支持提格雷人民解放阵线,而厄立特里亚对此予以否认。
Ethiopia told the U.N. Security Council on Friday that it was taking self-defense measures, accusing Eritrea of sending troops across the border and occupying parts of northern Ethiopia. Ethiopian authorities previously have accused Eritrea of supporting the TPLF an allegation Eritrea has denied.
埃塞俄比亚外交部长格迪翁·蒂莫特沃斯没有具体说明正在采取的措施。他致理事会的信中没有指出被占领的地区,也没有提供支持指控的证据。美联社无法独立核实这些主张。
Ethiopian Foreign Minister Gedion Timothewos did not specify the measures being taken. His letter to the council did not identify the occupied areas or provide evidence supporting the allegations. The Associated Press could not independently verify the claims.
厄立特里亚外交部长奥斯曼·萨利赫敦促理事会谴责他所说的埃塞俄比亚的“令人痛心的战争宣言”。他的回应既没有证实也没有否认所谓的部队越境行为。
Eritrean Foreign Minister Osman Saleh urged the council to condemn what he called a “deplorable declaration of war” by Ethiopia. His response did not confirm or deny the alleged troop crossings.
此次争端加深了两国之间的裂痕,而两国的军队曾在2020年至2022年的战争中并肩作战,共同对抗提格雷人民解放阵线(TPLF)。
The dispute deepens a rift between the two countries whose armies fought together against the TPLF during the 2020-2022 war.
