Ethiopian government forces seize Tigray capital Mekelle as TPLF withdraws

Federal troops and allied fighters seen in control of the city after capturing main regional airport.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the change of control in Mekelle, with Al Jazeera and BBC News each saying pro-government forces are now in the city. Al Jazeera frames the story as government forces seizing the Tigray capital and adds that allied fighters were seen in control after the main regional airport was captured. BBC News instead leads on the rebel withdrawal and, in its extract alone, cites two Mekelle residents saying the pro-government forces have taken control.
