NAIROBI (Reuters) – Hundreds of
Ethiopian rebels have fled their base in Eritrea and surrendered to
authorities, handing over their weapons, the foreign ministry said on
Tuesday.
The little-known Tigray People’s Democratic Movement (TPDM) says it launched an insurgency 14 years ago seeking to “establish a popular democratic government” in Addis Ababa.
Ethiopia has previously dismissed the group as “puppets”
acting under the orders of arch-foe Eritrea, with whom it is embroiled
in a border dispute.
Authorities in Eritrea’s capital Asmara were not immediately available for comment.
