Ethiopia's Amhara backs Tigray truce, makes no mention of disputed territory


NAIROBI (Reuters) - Authorities in Ethiopia's Amhara region have welcomed the ceasefire agreement between forces in neighbouring Tigray and the federal government, but they made no mention in a statement of territory seized during the two-year-long war.

Fighters from Amhara entered western Tigray in November, 2020 in support of federal troops and took control of a swathe of territory they say was historically theirs. Tigrayan officials say the area has long been home to both ethnic groups.
