One person was shot dead Tuesday when soldiers opened fire on an anti-government protest in the capital of Ethiopia's conflict-hit northern Tigray region, a medical official said.

The protest in the city of Mekele was timed to coincide with a visit by religious leaders from the national capital Addis Ababa, part of an effort by the federal government to show that life is returning to normal in Tigray three months after fighting began.

Groups of young men used stones and burning tyres to block roads in central Mekele, and soldiers used live rounds in at least one location, several witnesses told AFP.

"One dead body already arrived" with gunshot wounds, said a doctor at Ayder Referral Hospital, adding that the victim was "a young man."

Well.. It looks like Democracy has finally arrived in Tigray and the people of Tigray have started to taste Democracy and Freedom that they have never got during the coward TPLF Junta Sigbgb control of Tigray..... Remember, demonstration is a very common exercise in Oromia and Amhara Killil and people exercise it through for example demonstrations... Today, the tiny useless Tigray has joined..I am so happy for the people Tigray that they are finally out of cold because of the dear sacrifice of the Amhara militia warriors and Ethiopian National Defense Force ... The people of Tigray should thank the Amhara militia warriors and Ethiopian National Defense Force.

I remember the news when Tigrean youth were murdered by TPLF at point blank when they were drinking Tella in MeQele. Good to see that they are demonstrating and rallying to speak out about things that they are against. This is a manifestation of the change going in the right direction. Hopefully we will see more democratic right expressions going forward..
