 Tigran forces say Ethiopian government troops are on the run around the regional capital, Michele. This statement is coming after the forces took full control of the city in a sharp reversal of eight months of conflict. A spokesman for the Tigre People's Liberation Front says they will now concentrate on pushing on until every square inch of territory is cleared from the enemy. People in Mekele, where communications were cut on Monday, said the incoming Tigran fighters were gritted with cheers.
