The Ethiopian military, supported by allied militia groups, has officially claimed control over the town of Alamata, located in the Tigray region. This announcement follows a period of intense fighting in the area, which has been a focal point of the broader conflict between the federal government and Tigrayan forces.

While the military asserts that the town is now under its authority, the situation on the ground remains difficult to verify independently. Communications in the region have been frequently disrupted, and access for international observers and journalists remains highly restricted. The Ethiopian government maintains that these operations are necessary to restore order and federal authority, while Tigrayan leaders have historically characterized such movements as an invasion of their territory.

There is currently no confirmation from independent sources or Tigrayan leadership regarding the status of the town. The military’s claim represents the latest in a series of territorial shifts that have defined the conflict, which has resulted in significant displacement and humanitarian concerns. As of now, the military has not provided details on casualties or the current state of the civilian population within Alamata.
