Gondar (Ethiopia), November 9

Conflict in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, where federal troops have launched an offensive after accusing local forces of attacking a military base last week, have killed hundreds of people, military sources say.

A military official in the neighbouring Amhara region told Reuters clashes had killed nearly 500 Tigrayan forces, while another three security sources said the Ethiopian army had also lost hundreds defending the base.

Reuters has been unable to verify numbers, though a diplomat also said hundreds were believed to have died.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
