ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia
Banking services in Mekele, the capital of Ethiopia’s northernmost region, Tigray, resumed on Monday, more than a month after they were interrupted when the federal government launched a security operation against rebel forces.
Branches of the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia opened their doors to clients after consultations between the interim administration and residents.
On November 4, Ethiopia launched what it described as a police operation in Tigray, where the now-defunct Tigray People’s Liberation Front stormed an army base. Thousands of Ethiopians are said to have fled to neighboring Sudan since then.
On November 28, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed declared that the action was over, and the forces are now engaged in tracking down TPLF leaders and providing basic services and assistance to affected citizens.
