Heavily armed TPLF forces entered Korem and Alamata town in Raya again today, Friday, without a fight. The towns were left undefended after Amhara forces were ordered by Agegnehu Teshager to retreat.<\/p>\n
Kobo residents are reporting that intense fighting took place on Friday afternoon a few kilometers north of the town. <\/p>\n
Oromiya Special Force troops that were camped in Kobo left the town and headed for Woldya a few hours before the Kobo fight started, according to a Mereja.com source in Kobo. <\/p>\n
Mereja.com sources in Sekota town are also reporting that 200 members of the Tana Brigade have been arrested for disobeying orders to withdraw from Alamata yesterday. <\/p>\n
A mechanized TPLF force numbering over 20,000 is heading for the Afar Region towards Semara tonight, Mereja.com sources in the area reported.<\/p>\n
Raya is now once again back in the hands of TPLF, which is what Abiy Ahmed and his puppet Agegnehu Teshager are determined to do, but are lying about.<\/p>\n
It appears that TPLF is shifting its focus from the heavily defended Wolkait to Djibouti in its quest for an outlet. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
