Today, Sunday, the Ethiopian army announced that it had killed 15 members of the former ruling party in the Tigray region and captured 8, noting that among the captives was the former president of the region, Abay Weldo, who is also a former head of the ruling party in the region.
State TV quoted the general from the Ethiopian National Defense Force as saying that among the dead was the former deputy police chief in Tigray.
The latest Ethiopian announcement about the killing and capturing of members of the rebel front comes after the army said - on Friday - that it had captured Sepphat Nega, one of the founding members of the front, and state television reported that he had been transferred to the capital, Addis Ababa, on Saturday.
In press statements, the head of the Defense Forces Deployment Department, Brigadier General Tesfai Ayalu said that the defense forces managed to arrest the leader, mastermind and founder of the Tigray Liberation Front, in addition to a number of rebel Ethiopian army officers who joined the front forces.
The head of the Ethiopian Defense Forces Deployment Department pointed out that the arrest of Nega and a number of officers witnessed an exchange of fire, in which the arrested guard was killed.
The government of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced - on November 28, after nearly a month of fighting - victory in the conflict with the Tigrayan People's Liberation Front, a political party that had previously ruled the region.
