Ethiopia's Amhara region on Sunday drew nearer "each and every youth" to take up arms against powers from the bordering area of Tigray, who purported to have expected command over a town in Amhara curiously since the dispute began.

"I approach each youth, regular citizen armed force, non-nearby armed force nearby, equipped with any organization weapon, outfitted with individual weapons, to join the counter TPLF (Tigray People's Liberation Front) war mission from tomorrow," Agegnehu Teshager, head of the Amhara regional government, was refered to as saying by the locale's state media.

The call for mass get together came as a delegate for the Tigray People's Liberation Front, the social event that controls Tigray, said they had taken the town of Adi Arkay in Amhara.

The delegate, Getachew Reda, told Reuters in a text that TPLF had expected command over the town at this point offered no more detail.

Martha Abebaw, an occupant of Adi Arkay, revealed to Reuters she had left on Friday. Moving right along a brief time frame later she heard Tigrayan powers had taken the town and she had been not ready to show up at any of her family starting now and into the foreseeable future, she said. All vehicle to the town had stopped, she said.

"I'm calling them all tenacious. My mom's phone went through once recently and a man with a peculiar voice got the phone and uncovered to me I can't talk with her," she told Reuters.

Agents for the pioneer, Ethiopian military, an organization taskforce on Tigray and didn't return calls searching for input. The delegate for the Amhara region said he was not supported to comment on the matter.
