Zavuze ko leta irimo gukoresha imbunda za rutura, imodoka z'intambara, indege z'intambara n'utudege tutarimo abapilote (drones) mu kugerageza "kongera gutera" ako karere.
Inyeshyamba yo ku rwego rwo hejuru yavuze ko ingabo zo muri Tigray zirimo kuguma mu birindiro byazo.
Leta ya Ethiopia ntiyemeje ko habayeho imirwano n'imwe, kandi kuba nta tumanaho riri muri ako karere bituma kugenzura amakuru mu buryo bwigenga bidashoboka.

Abajijwe niba hari igitero cyo ku butaka cyagabwe, Billene Seyoum, umuvugizi wa Minisitiri w'intebe wa Ethiopia Abiy Ahmed, yavuze ko leta ifite inshingano yo kurinda abaturage bayo mu gihugu hose ibarinda ibikorwa by'iterabwoba, ariko nta yandi makuru yatanze.

Abantu babarirwa mu bihumbi biciwe muri iyo ntambara, naho abandi miliyoni ebyiri byabaye ngombwa ko bahunga bata ingo zabo.
Leta ya Ethiopia ivuga ko TPLF ari umutwe w'iterabwoba, ariko TPLF yo ivuga ko ari yo leta y'akarere ka Tigray yemewe n'amategeko.

Kuva mu 1994, Ethiopia igabanyijemo za leta (uturere), ubu ni 10; zishingiye ku moko hagendewe ku itegekonshinga, kandi zisobanurwa ko ahanini zigenga, ariko zigakorana na leta nkuru y'igihugu.
Mu 2018, nyuma y'imyigaragambyo yo kwamagana leta ya Ethiopia, Abiy Ahmed yabaye Minisitiri w'intebe anatangiza amavugurura.
Abanyapolitiki bakomeye bo muri Tigray, leta yo mu majyaruguru cyane y'iki gihugu, bashinje Bwana Abiy kugerageza kongera ububasha bwa leta ya Ethiopia.
Umubano wabaye mubi kurushaho nuko, nyuma yuko leta ishinje ingabo zo muri Tigray gutera ibigo bya gisirikare byayo, igisirikare cya Ethiopia kihagaba igitero mu kwezi kwa cumi na kumwe mu 2020, gifashijwe n'ingabo za Eritrea.
Mu mpera y'uko kwezi kwa cumi na kumwe, Bwana Abiy yatangaje ko intambara irangiye, ariko imirwano yarakomeje.
Bwana Getachew, wa mukuru wo muri TPLF, yavuze ko igitero cyo kuri iyi nshuro kirimo kubera mu mijyi mu karere ka Amhara, kandi ko kirimo n'ingabo zo muri Amhara zirwana ku ruhande rwa leta ya Ethiopia.
