Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has urged his supporters to use any weapons they have to stop an advance by Tigrayan rebel forces.Mr Abiy says it was the duty of citizens to, block, destroy and bury the forces of the TPLF rebels.He issued the appeal on Facebook after the rebels said they'd made further territorial gains in the Amhara region, taking them closer to the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.A TPLF spokesman, Getachew Reda, says they had captured Kombolcha and that their only aim was to break a siege of Tigray.
