The Ethiopian Federal government is reportedly deploying troops to the Tigray region of Ethiopia as the political crisis in the region is deepening at times sparking military actions between factions.
Tigray Peace Force (TPF), a faction of armed groups that broke away from “Tigray Defense Force” in resistance to what it considered a forceful measure, shared a picture on its social media page purportedly showing a mechanized unit of Ethiopian Defense Force.
The move came as forces loyal to the Debretsion Gebremichael led faction of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) are taking what appears to be a forceful measure in a move that is said to restore TPLF’s power in the region.
The latest incident was in Mehoni, South Tigray, where Army 43 forces of the “Tigray Defense Force” reportedly opened fire on the people, wounding at least five civilians. Most of the victims were said to be youth groups organized to maintain stability in the region.
According to sources, as reported by Borkena, the army was on a mission to arrest Colonel Halefom Mehari, head of the Militia forces in Raya Azebo district, who reportedly parted way with the TDF forces loyal to Debretsion led TPLF.
Notable politicians in the region, like Grebru Asrat, have been criticizing the Federal government for what they call ‘failure to ensure law and order against the Debretsion forces.
Tadesse Worede, whom the Federal government appointed as Interim President in the region replacing Getachew Reda in April this year, is said to have collaborated with or been under the influence of the Pro-Debretsion forces.
