Nothing has been heard from the TPLF leaders in recent days, but they had pledged to continue fighting federal troops.
The Ethiopian Defense Ministry has announced a 10 million birr ($ 256,000) reward for leads leading to the arrest of Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) figures the government says are wanted.
The announcement was made on Friday by Lt. Gen. Asrat Denero, who said the bounty was intended to help quickly arrest those wanted.
Last month arrest warrants were issued for more than 60 senior TPLF leaders.
More arrest warrants were later issued for dozens of other officers and former army officers.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced the end of the military offensive last month after Tigray’s capital, Mekelle, fell to the federal army.
Nothing has been heard from the TPLF leaders in recent days, but earlier they had promised to continue fighting until federal troops, whom they call invaders, leave Tigray.
The whereabouts of many of the TPLF leaders, including its president Debrestion Gebremichael, are unknown.
The government had previously said that it had detained only two of the top TPLF figures.
One of them, former speaker of the upper house of parliament Keria Ibrahim, is said to have turned herself in to the authorities more than two weeks ago, but has not been seen since.
It is also unclear if she has been taken to court.
