 Ethiopia has added two rebel groups to its terror list, including the Tigre People's Liberation Front against which it launched a massive law enforcement operation late last year. The Council of Ministers approved a resolution to designate the TPLF as a terrorist organization along with the OLF Chennai after several attacks in different parts of the country targeting civilians and public infrastructure over the past couple of years. On November 3, TPLF forces attacked the Ethiopian National Defence Forces, killing soldiers while they were sleeping and looting military hardware, prompting the Ethiopian government to launch a sweeping law enforcement operation. On November 28, Prime Minister Abe Ahmad declared the military confrontation over after the fall of the original capital, McKelley, to the Federal Army.
