The military in #Ethiopia says members of the #Amhara special forces have started withdrawing from #Tigray, in line with a peace agreement that ended a two year civil war. The troops from Amhara had helped the government in its fight against #Tigrayan rebels. The defence ministry said a send-off ceremony was held as they left the city of #Shire. Earlier this week fighters from Tigray began handing over their heavy weapons in line with November's peace agreement.
