“Various unofficial sources claim that the Ethiopian Cabinet has approved amendments that could prepare the country for possible military action against Eritrea.

The decision has now been sent to Parliament for its approval.

If Parliament were to approve the amendments, it could mark another important step toward a possible confrontation between Ethiopia and Eritrea.

A justification that Abiy Ahmed has long been seeking, as access to the sea could save Ethiopia's export economy.

The Government claims that the decision is intended to pave the way for the Ethiopian Army to carry out operations when Ethiopia deems them necessary to protect its national interests.

I repeat. Nothing confirmed officially. It's something we've been talking about for a long time and it wouldn't be far-fetched at all.

Regarding the conflict, Amhara and Tigray militias continue to advance, although federal forces also appear to have taken cities in Tigray.

The situation must be followed closely.”

I hope they follow through. There also seems to be movement within Afar by ENDF to suggest this.

August Mekelle drone strike reportedly targeted senior Fano and TPLF leadership during secret alliance talks

New information indicates that plans of the secret talks between Fano and TPLF reached the @AbiyAhmedAli regime, leading to the August drone strike on a residential area of Mekelle that reportedly targeted senior Fano and TPLF representatives gathered there for discussions that ultimately led to the formation of the Ethiopian Peoples’ Forces Alliance for Survival. The strike missed its intended target, allowing the leaders to escape.

The meeting was reportedly part of roughly four months of negotiations involving the Amhara Fano National Movement (AFNM), the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), and four other armed groups. OLA leader Jaal Maro also reportedly traveled secretly to Mekelle in August to participate directly in discussions over the formation of the alliance, which brings together seven armed and political groups.

For a third time in less than a week, the Fano forces are claiming a military victory against government soldiers. This time they claim they have entirely annihilated the 71st division of the Ethiopian Defense Force in Dawunt area of Wollo. 
150 government soldiers are captured. Hundreds are killed. Sizeable firearms seized. The 71st division were possibly on their way to reinforce forces against the TPLF forces, according to Fano forces spokesperson in Dawunt who spoke to Anchor Media. 

Over 106 regime forces, including 7th Regiment Commander Lt. Edris Abdela, killed after Fano ambush sends military convoy trucks plunging into ravine in Tegede Woreda (📍Welkait-Tegede-Setit Humera Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia).

🔵 The convoy, traveling in five heavy ten-wheeled military trucks, was ambushed at Kokiya village in Kaza Kebele. Under heavy fire, several trucks reportedly careened off the narrow road and plunged into a deep ravine.

🔵 The fighting and vehicle crashes reportedly killed over 106 regime personnel, including 7th Regiment Commander Lieutenant Edris Abdela. Sixty-five personnel were reported killed during the initial firefight and wreckage.

🔵 An additional 50 regime personnel were critically injured and transported to hospitals in Maksegno-Gebeya and Qiraqir, where 40 reportedly later died from their injuries, while the remaining ten were in life-threatening condition.
