埃塞俄比亚提格雷人民解放阵线(TPLF)领导人周五誓言继续与联邦军队作战,尽管已失去包括地区首府梅凯莱在内的主要城镇的控制权。
The leader of Ethiopia’s Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) vowed Friday to continue fighting federal forces despite losing control of major towns, including the regional capital, Mekelle.
“提格雷将继续成为其敌人的坟墓,”TPLF主席德布雷齐翁·格布雷迈克尔在提格雷电视台周五播出的讲话中宣称。
"Tigray will remain a graveyard for its enemies," TPLF chairman Debretsion Gebremichael declared in remarks broadcast by Tigrayan television on Friday.
德布雷齐翁表示,反叛运动仍在对政府军进行军事行动,并拒绝了领土丧失等同于失败的说法。
Debretsion said the rebel movement remained engaged in military operations against government forces and rejected suggestions that the loss of territory amounted to defeat.
他的言论是在埃塞俄比亚军队于10月3日攻占梅凯莱之后发表的,当时反叛部队已从该城市撤出。
His remarks followed the Ethiopian military's capture of Mekelle on Oct. 3 after rebel forces withdrew from the city.
他声称,其战斗人员在过去几天取得了多场战场胜利,并给联邦军队造成重大伤亡。这些说法无法独立核实,埃塞俄比亚当局也未证实伤亡数字。
He claimed his fighters had achieved several battlefield successes in recent days and inflicted heavy casualties on federal troops. The claims could not be independently verified, and Ethiopian authorities have not confirmed the casualty figures.
新的敌对行动于9月23日爆发,距离一项和平协议结束埃塞俄比亚北部一场持续两年的毁灭性内战已近四年。
Renewed hostilities erupted on Sept. 23, nearly four years after a peace agreement ended a devastating two-year civil war in northern Ethiopia.
自那时起,联邦军队已控制了几个战略城镇,而TPLF继续声称对政府阵地发动攻击。
Federal forces have since taken control of several strategic towns, while the TPLF has continued to claim attacks against government positions.
另外,埃塞俄比亚军队周五表示,其部队在靠近苏丹边界的西部贝尼尚古尔-古姆兹地区,击毙了未具体说明数量的TPLF战斗人员,并俘虏了另外四人。
Separately, Ethiopia’s military said Friday that its forces had killed an unspecified number of TPLF fighters and captured four others in the western Benishangul-Gumuz region, near the Sudanese border.
军方表示,此次行动针对的是名为“第13军”的武装部队,并指控该部队试图破坏该地区稳定。
The military said the operation targeted an armed unit known as Army 13, which it accused of seeking to destabilize the region.
地区广播电视台贝尼尚古尔-古姆兹媒体电视台报道称,埃塞俄比亚安全部门官员指控这些战斗人员在外国支持下行动,包括来自苏丹和厄立特里亚的支持。
Regional broadcaster Benishangul-Gumuz Media TV reported that Ethiopian security officials accused the fighters of operating with foreign backing, including from Sudan and Eritrea.
战斗加剧了埃塞俄比亚与厄立特里亚之间的紧张关系,亚的斯亚贝巴指责其北部邻国支持反对联邦政府的武装团体。
The fighting has intensified tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea, with Addis Ababa accusing its northern neighbor of supporting armed groups opposed to the federal government.
厄立特里亚否认了破坏埃塞俄比亚稳定的指控,并对埃塞俄比亚关于进入红海的表态表示担忧。
Eritrea has rejected accusations of destabilizing Ethiopia and expressed concern about Ethiopian statements regarding access to the Red Sea.
总理阿比·艾哈迈德为提格赖任命了一个看守行政当局,计划在六个月内举行地区选举。提格赖人民解放阵线拒绝了这一安排。
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has appointed a caretaker administration for Tigray, with regional elections planned within six months. The TPLF has rejected the arrangement.
新一轮暴力发生之际,提格赖仍在从2020年至2022年的战争中恢复,这场战争造成了大规模流离失所和严重的人道主义苦难。
The renewed violence comes as Tigray continues to recover from the 2020–2022 war, which caused widespread displacement and severe humanitarian suffering.
本周,一架无人机在南提格赖袭击了正在将牲畜装上卡车的四人,造成他们死亡,据《亚的斯亚贝巴标准报》报道。
A drone strike in southern Tigray killed four people this week as they loaded livestock onto a truck, the Addis Standard news outlet reported.
该媒体还报道说,邻近的阿姆哈拉地区发生了致命的无人机袭击,政府军正在那里与法诺武装团体作战。据报道,这些袭击周二击中了一所小学,造成至少六名儿童死亡,另外20人受伤。
The outlet also reported deadly drone strikes in neighboring Amhara, where government forces are fighting Fano armed groups. Those strikes hit an elementary school Tuesday, killing at least six children and injuring 20 others, according to the report.
