Eyewitnesses Describe Mechanized Convoys and Defensive Positioning Along Northern Corridors as ENDF Secures Key Transit Axes
By Staff Writer
(Nairobi, Kenya) — Residents of Adigrat town in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray Region have reported the movement of Eritrean military forces into the city, with mechanized units observed moving south toward the regional capital, Mekelle.
Eyewitnesses confirmed that foreign soldiers, transported on heavy military vehicles, entered Adigrat—located approximately 40 kilometers south of the Ethiopian border. Information sources in Mekelle corroborated these accounts, citing reports from Adigrat residents who observed mechanized convoys proceeding along the southern highway corridor toward Mekelle.
Local reports indicate that troops were observed operating along the corridor stretching from Zalambessa to Fatsi, the administrative center of Gulomakeda Woreda. Residents noted that military units have established encampments at the government college in Fatsi and constructed defensive fortifications on the strategic height of Fiya Qeshi, an elevated vantage point along the Fatsi-Adigrat road previously utilized during prior military engagements. Patrol and surveillance operations are reportedly being conducted between Zalambessa and the fortified positions.
These developments follow statements from federal officials acknowledging external military participation in the region. Minister of Innovation and Technology Dr. Abraham Belay previously confirmed the involvement of Eritrean forces in the renewed hostilities. Concurrently, the Afar Regional State government confirmed that several foreign soldiers involved in active combat engagements had been taken into custody.
On the ground in central Tigray, reports indicate that the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) alongside allied Tigray Peace Forces have established control over Agulae, a town situated north of Mekelle, following heavy morning engagements. Tigrayan forces subsequently withdrew from the area toward Wuqro. Following the securing of Mekelle, federal units have also advanced to Hagere Selam, located southwest of the regional capital along the Tembien transit axis.

I told you my homeboy Al-Toweel Isu is hopping mad at that thing called Ethiopia. He is so angry that he has turned into a powerful hurricane now, Ethiopia, you are finally toast and done. Hurricane Isaias is barreling towards Addis/Finfine. Okay bigots and connivers! I heard you have started packing up after being invited to the party by your longtime sugar daddy Isu who is now Hurricane Isaias.
This is a flagrant violation of all international laws by the rulers of Eritrea. OAU, The UN and the rest of law abiding nations should condemn this dangerous violation of Ethiopia’s sovereignty by the Eritrean regime and demand the withdrawal of its forces from Ethiopian territory.
It is rumored that Egypt has sent specialized armed units disguised as military advisors to Asmara. There is also unconfirmed report that Cairo has moved its clunky helicopter carriers towards the southern shores of Eritrea. Our over qualified editors of this esteemed website need to verify that for us,
This is more than provocation. It is an invasion of a sovereign nation. It is against every tenet of international laws. AU, UN and every law abiding nation every where on this good earth should condemn this blatant crime and demand the immediate withdrawal of all foreign forces from the Ethiopian territories. Our dear Eritrean brothers and sisters here among us should do the same demanding an immediate withdrawal. The youth of both nations should not be thrown blind into raging battles instigated by stubborn bigots and connivers.
I am also getting news of a large Egyptian military unit in the Eritrean capital Asmara as military advisors. It is rumored that el-Sisi has moved his clunky helicopter carrier close to the southern seashore of Eritrea. On the other fronts, it is also reported that Sudan is actively delivering weapons to Debre’s group and a certain faction of Fano outfit. Folks, don’t be surprised to hear news of the GERD dam being attacked by one or two of Al-Toweel Isu’s clunky MiG bombers. Better yet, he may let others do his dirty job.
