There have been similar protests and rallies in other parts of Ethiopia as well. This week, the Ethiopian government claimed that the TPLF forces attempting to control more areas in Afar region, including the road to Djibouti, were routed. Other reports emerging on social media say over 800 TPLF combatants surrendered to Afar region and Ethiopian Defense forces about two days ago. There are still reports of fighting in the Afar region of Ethiopia as the TPLF is attempting to militarily annex areas from the Afar region.
