Young men take up arms in northern Ethiopia as atrocities fuel insurgency

Anger over violence that UN says could amount to war crimes drives recruitment in Tigray

Ethiopian troops and their allies in the restive northern province of Tigray face a growing insurgency fuelled by a series of massacres and other violence targeting civilians.

The country’s prime minister, Abiy Ahmed, launched a military offensive four months ago to “restore the rule of law” by ousting the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), the political party in power in the province, following rising tensions and a surprise attack on a federal army base.

Despite government claims of a significant improvement in the security situation in recent weeks, tens of thousands of Ethiopian troops and soldiers sent by neighbouring Eritrea to support Addis Ababa’s military operations appear to be facing continuing resistance.

Mekelle, the provincial capital, is relatively calm, but there are reports of fighting elsewhere. Around a third of the province may remain out of government control.

A series of fierce clashes took place in mid-February around Samre, a small town 40km south-west of Mekelle, as thousands of Ethiopian troops supported by artillery, tanks and airstrikes batted forces loyal to the TPLF dug in there.

Residents in Adigrat, in north-eastern Tigray, say they have heard heavy weapons firing for days in hills around the town. Similar reports came from the town of Adwa on a strategically important crossroads near the border with Eritrea, and multiple other locations.

Agamew,


You made it sound that they didn't picked arm 4 months ago. 250k tigray youth to be exact. When the going gets tough, they run like a አይደለም እንዴ?

The problem with that sort of claim is that we were never told when they laid down the same arms that they are taking up?

Did they lay the arms down before?

Please tell the youth there that this time around there will not be the so called "kedmiya betornet ledekeku kililoch" and if they missed once, then it means also that they lost it for ever. This is just my well intended hint for the delusioned young men/women.

ዓልነገርኩሽም ወይ ባጥር ተንጠልጥዬ ኣጋሜ ውሽማ አንጂ ባል ኣይሆንም ብዬ

የተባለው ያለምክኛት ኣልነበረም ይህንኑ ባህሪያች ሁን ለመግልጽ ነው።

ውስጠ ውይራ ነው ለንደ አናተ ኣየነቱ ድንጋይ ራስ አንዳይገባውና አንዳይበስጭ

bootlicking is not a skill that is envied but it is emanating from a lack of self-respect and inferiority. It is proven time and time again Agames as a society are victims of this syndrome. All agames have to be herded to labor come and re indoctrinated to be a productive human being. That at list will take about 5 years if the indoctrination is intensive and if not about 7 years.

The time is ripe to implement it like the soviet era gulag but more human way. Tigre will get redemption from hard work in the gulag.

As the Germans said once " Arbeit macht frei" meaning "Work sets you free" or "Work makes one free" then you will be free from your inferiority at last and you will thank us for that.
