While in Tigray, Abiy held discussions with army generals who led a successful law enforcement operation launched by his government in November after the defiant forces of the Tigray People's Liberation Front stormed the army's northern command stationed in Tigray.
The operation was conducted from November 4 to 28, until the regional capital fell to the federal army. "The visit led to fruitful negotiations and it was agreed to hold an emergency IGAD meeting," Hamdok's office said. A Sudanese government official told AFP the meeting between Hamdok and Abiy had been "fruitful, especially on the emergency meeting of IGAD" and on reviving a committee to work on delineating their shared border.
Abiy has dismissed reports of ongoing clashes as "sporadic gunfire" not indicating major combat. Over the weekend, AFP journalists saw trucks of soldiers heading towards Tigray, and ambulances remain a common sight in southern Tigray and northern Amhara regions.
