Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said Monday he would head to the war front to lead soldiers battling rebels, as the year-long conflict moves closer to the capital Addis Ababa.
"Starting tomorrow, I will mobilise to the front to lead the defence forces," Abiy, winner of the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize, said in a statement posted on Twitter.
It also came after the ruling Prosperity Party's executive committee met Monday to discuss the war, which has dragged on for a year. Though he promised a swift victory, by late June the TPLF had regrouped and retaken most of Tigray including its capital Mekele, prompting the federal army to largely withdraw from the region.It has also formed an alliance with other insurgent groups including the Oromo Liberation Army , which is active in the Oromia region surrounding Addis Ababa.The war has already killed thousands and pushed hundreds of thousands into famine-like condition, according to the UN.
Over the weekend he wrapped up his second visit to the country this month, which included a third round of meetings in Mekele with TPLF leaders.
