I have to update my prediction and reduce the length of the operation to now may be 1-2 weeks
PM Abiy is giving press release. The air force completely destroyed all rockets and missiles that was stationed around Mekele in Tigray. He said now there is no more big threat from TPLF and the operation will be accomplished very fast. He listed the following remaining tasks:
• disarm any security force of the Regional State and to maintain the peace and security of the civilian population;
• Impose restrictions on modes of transportation
• Impose curfew
• Detain those it suspects taking part in illegal activities that endanger the constitutional order
• Use proportionate force to restore law and order
• Take measures necessary in furtherance of the objectives of the State of Emergency
