Hundreds of buildings burned around Tigray town, research group says
By Reuters Staff


NAIROBI (Reuters) - Fires that appear to have been deliberately set destroyed more than 500 structures this week in and around Ethiopia’s Gijet town, an analysis of satellite imagery shared with Reuters has found, adding credence to reports of continued conflict in parts of the northern region of Tigray.

Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed declared victory over a rebellious regional force, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), at the end of November after its fighters withdrew from the region’s main cities and towns. But sporadic fighting continues in some parts of Tigray, according to residents and United Nations assessments.

The government has acknowledged isolated incidents of shooting but has said that most fighting has stopped in Tigray.

Mulu Nega, head of Tigray’s government-appointed interim administration, told Reuters he had sent a team to the Gijet area to investigate.

The DX Open Network, a security research organization based in Britain, analysed images collected by private satellite operator Planet Labs on Sunday and Tuesday around Gijet and three nearby settlements, which are about 35 km (22 miles) southwest of the Tigray regional capital Mekelle.

They showed at least 508 structures that appeared to have been destroyed by fire over that period, the network said, citing the blackening of earth and vegetation, ash circles indicative of roof collapse, and debris from collapsed walls and ceilings.

A fire detection service run by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which uses visible and infrared imagery captured from space, detected numerous fires in the area on Monday, according to its website.

The bandas in Tigray are really stupid people, they do not even know what they are talking about let alone their capacity. How will this idiot named MuluNegas send a study mission to Gijet, which is now a site of major war crime, a historic town intentionally bombed with various incendiary bombs and shells after the coward Hamasenay and PP army lost repeated counteroffensives in Gijet and its environs?


This is undoubtedly a major war crime.... can you imagine how huge the loss of 508 buildings is to any town? How about the likelihood of human loss and real material loss when 508 buildings are burned? It is disaster, but Tigray has suffered countless many such savage destructions by its coward and immoral enemies.
