BBC World Service - Newshour, Ethiopia: PM says Eritrean forces to withdraw from north

Prime minister says Eritrea will pull its forces out of Tigray in northern Ethiopia

Prime minister says Eritrea will pull its forces out of Tigray in northern Ethiopia.

Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed says neighbouring Eritrea will withdraw its forces from the northern region of Tigray. Eritrean troops have been accused of carrying out killings and atrocities in the region. Mr Abiy has faced growing pressure to end the conflict in Tigray, started in November when he sent in national troops, ostensibly to quell separatist forces there.

Also in the programme we hear from an exiled Burmese journalist on how she live-tweeted the coup and six months after the war in Nagorno Karabakh we have a special report from there.
