Mekelle reportedly retaken, but Tigray’s war is not over
Federal troops and allies reportedly entered Tigray’s capital on October 3. The TPLF calls its withdrawal temporary, while civilian tolls, lasting control and airport reopening remain unresolved.
Cosa è cambiato
- At least 52 civilians were reported killed around Alamata before the fighting reached Tigray’s capital. That was the hospital-source minimum we reported on October 1, 2026—not a new toll from Mekelle. Now Ethiopian federal troops and allied fighters have reportedly retaken Mekelle and its airport, while the opposition says it will keep fighting. The advance has reached the region’s political center; the accounting of what it has cost civilians has not caught up.
