ENDF National Unity Offensive
The ENDF National Unity Offensive was a military offensive in the Tigray War launched by the Ethiopian military (ENDF) and pro-government forces to recapture territory in the Amhara and Afar regions being occupied by the Tigray Defense Forces (TDF). Gendarmerie regional forces and local militias from Afar and Amhara had mobilized thousands of fighters and joined the offensive. The ENDF and its allies were able to push TDF forces back from Debre Sina, Amhara to Alamata, Tigray (≈400 km). The Ethiopian government announced the campaign for national unity was a success and had been completed on 23 December 2021.
After pushing the ENDF out of Tigray in the TDF began its invasion of the neighboring Afar and Amhara regions during August 2021. The ENDF launched an operation to recapture TDF occupied land which was unsuccessful. TDF forces continued their march down the A2 highway with the goal of capturing Addis Ababa. TDF forces were able to advance to the town Debre Sina which is located ≈190 km northeast of Addis Ababa. International media began to report that the fall of Addis Ababa was imminent causing many international organizations to begin flying their employees out of the country. France, Germany, and other western nations urged their citizens to flee the country. United States Army General William Zana, commander of Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, said the US had forces on standby to secure the American embassy should Addis fall to the TDF. Many in Ethiopia saw these statements as a violation of Ethiopian sovereignty and an attempt to cause panic in the country. In response to the statements Ethiopians and other sympathetic Africans around the world organized protests against the US across capitals of Western countries. PM Abiy Ahmed announced he would be heading to the frontline to lead the troops and defeat the TDF and OLA alliance. With its newly acquired equipment the ENDF and its allies were able to inflict heavy casualties on the TDF and halt its advance. The ENDF then began its "National Unity campaign" to expel the TDF from the Amhara and Afar regions. The Ethiopian government announced the conclusion to offensive on 23 December 2021 after forcing the TDF to retreat back to Tigray.
On 28 November 2021, ENDF and Afar forces recapture Chifra from the TDF.
