Ethiopia PM spotted in combat gear after vowing to fight

The Ethiopian government has declared new limitations on detailing the conflict, in which Tigrayan rebels are supposed to be proceeding with their development towards the capital.

In a notice to media sources and online media clients, it has prohibited the detailing of any tactical developments or updates from the war zone – except if the data has been supported by the public authority.

In the interim state media have shown film of the Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed, in a provincial area wearing a tactical uniform, in the wake of saying days prior that he would make a beeline for the bleeding edge to coordinate the contention.

In a meeting he sounded rebellious and said government troops had retaken some region.
