ADDIS ABABA: Ethiopia must be ready to make \u201csacrifices\u201d to \u201csalvage\u201d the country, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said Saturday, as fighting in the north intensifies between government forces and Tigrayan rebels who threaten to advance on the capital. His announcement came a day after nine rebel groups said they would join forces in an alliance built around the Tigray People\u2019s Liberation Front (TPLF), which has been locked in a year-long war against Abiy\u2019s government. TPLF representative Berhane Gebre-Christos said Friday the alliance aimed to \u201cremove the regime,\u201d as he signed the nine-party agreement in Washington. \u201cThere are sacrifices to be made, but those sacrifices will salvage Ethiopia,\u201d Abiy tweeted. \u201cWe have seen the tests and obstacles and it made us stronger,\u201d he said, adding: \u201cWe have more allies than the people who turned their backs on us.\u201d \u201cFor us, Ethiopians, dying for our sovereignty, unity and identity, is an honor. There is no Ethiopianism without sacrifice,\u201d the government\u2019s communication service said on Twitter. Last weekend, the TPLF said it had taken two strategic cities in the region of Amhara, where its fighters had advanced after retaking their Tigray bastion in June. It said Wednesday it had reached the town of Kemissie in Amhara, 325 kilometers (200 miles) northeast of the capital. The TPLF added it was running \u201cjoint operations\u201d with the Oromo Liberation Army, another rebel group which predicted Addis Ababa could fall in a matter of weeks. The government, which on Tuesday declared a nationwide emergency, has denied any major rebel advance or threat on the capital, vowing to press on to victory in \u201can existential war.\u201d Abiy\u2019s spokeswoman Billene Seyoum on Friday accused the rebels of spinning \u201can alarmist narrative that is creating much tension among different communities, including the international community.\u201d \u201cThis information warfare and this propaganda that they have been propagating is giving a false sense of insecurity,\u201d she added. Faced with the recent escalation in fighting, the United Nations\u2019 Security Council on Friday called for a cease-fire in a rare joint declaration on the issue. Abiy sent troops into Tigray in November 2020 to topple the TPLF, which he accused of having attacked military bases, promising a swift victory. But by late June the rebels had retaken most of Tigray and expanded into the neighboring regions of Afar and Amhara. Thousands have been killed and hundreds of thousands forced into famine-like conditions, according to the UN.<\/p>\n
