Ethiopian soldiers have killed 23 Eritrean-backed rebels, captured 18, and received the surrender of 112 more, the state news agency ENA said April 3. “The 23 rebels engaged in proxy war coordinated by the Eritrean government were killed in gunfire with the army in Armacheo district of the northern Gondar region,” ENA said, quoting a regional official. Ethiopia, the major military power in the Horn of Africa, has frequently accused Eritrea of backing, arming and harboring a variety of insurgents. (Reuters)
