 Ethiopia's Tigray region wants a full withdrawal of troops from Eritrea and the neighboring state of Amahra before it can engage in any talks with the federal government about a ceasefire. The Tigray People's Liberation Front, the regional authority driven out last year by Ethiopian forces and troops from neighboring Eritrea, returned to the region's capital, Mekele, on Monday to chair in crowds. The return was followed by a unilateral declaration of a ceasefire by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government. A move dismissed by TPLF spokesperson Kitacir read as a joke. A statement from the government of Tigray released on Sunday by Kitacir said it would accept a ceasefire in principle if there were ironclad guarantees of no further invasions but a series of order conditions would need to be met before an agreement could be formalized.
