In pictures: Ethiopia's Big Return

Nita Bhalla has witnessed the Ethiopian army leave the disputed border territory with Eritrea. A Temporary Security Zone will be created and United Nations peacekeepers will be deployed.

Ethiopia have begun withdrawing its troops from the frontline. Thousands of infantry soldiers are involved.

Tank guns were triumphantly draped in the Ethiopian flag.

"After crushing the enemy, we are going home" said one soldier.

The Ethiopians are taking back all their equipment including tanks, trucks and multiple rocket launchers.

There were what seemed to be never endiing lines of soldiers. The operation should be complete by Friday.

Some of the soldiers will be returning home, others are to be redeployed on the Ethiopian side of the border.
