Ethiopia's army said forces from the Amhara region, who fought in support of the federal government during the two-year war in neighbouring Tigray, have withdrawn from a major Tigray city in line with an African Union-backed ceasefire. However, a humanitarian worker in the city of Shire said Amhara forces were still there in "significant numbers."
