The Ethiopian government has been rounding up ethnic Tigrayan security forces deployed in United Nations and African peacekeeping missions abroad and forcing them onto flights to the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa, where it is feared they may face torture or even execution, according to an internal U.N. account.

The moves come as Ethiopia is preparing a military offensive against the capital of the country’s Tigray region, Mekelle. Conflict erupted earlier this month between federal and Tigrayan forces in the ethnically divided nation, which for decades was under de facto rule by the minority Tigrayans. The alarm inside the U.N. suggests that Ethiopia’s Nobel Peace Prize-winning prime minister, Abiy Ahmed, may be expanding the country’s weekslong conflict beyond the country’s borders. It has alarmed human rights advocates and U.N. officials, who fear that the U.N. blue helmets may be persecuted upon their arrival back in Ethiopia.

“All officers and soldiers from Tigray were arrested and detained upon arrival in Addis,” according to the U.N. account reviewed by Foreign Policy. “There are reports that some have been subjected to torture and extra-judicial killing.”

Eden,

You said you are Eritrean. But, you happen to be TPLF sympathizer in all your posts. You ain’t worried about the people of Tigray rather you worry about the TPLF thugs.
You should come out as .....
Who are you ........

In any country, military personnel face court martial!!! Period!!!!
As a military member, they have no right for a civilian judge to preside over their sentencing.
I am not advocating their demise. But stating the obvious.

For every Northern Division soldiers murdered by the adventures Debretsion Militia, we do expect to do same on to these traitors. They only understand the language of brute force and, it is about time to speak with them in the language of their choice. Every known law theory supports what the Ethiopian Government is trying to do. From Russia and China to USA have now understood what transpired in TPLF homeland. They all are supporting the measured corrective action being taken by the ENDF.

The Rocket man in the meantime, can still keep throwing his barrages of fire at Bahir Dar, Gondar and Asmara Cities if it helps sooth its fast eroding ego.
