Tigray rebels reportedly take control of the Ethiopian town of Lalibela, a UN World Heritage site, as PM Abiy 'heads to the war front' again
More than a year of conflict has plunged 9.4 million people"into a critical situation of food assistance" in the regions of Tigray, Afar and Amhara.
Tigrayan rebels "are in the town centre, there's no fighting," a resident told AFP news agency on Sunday. Government spokesperson Legesse Tulu and a military spokesman did not respond to requests for comment on the reported recapture of the town by forces loyal to the Tigray People's Liberation Front .
