#ethiopia #tigray #amhara
Today news stories is from
tigray we know that yesterday an endf
officer a major general the show me
gamacho claimed that only endf was
operating In tigray and no other security
forces were In tigray. we were waiting for
official response from tigray Regional
government and Gatachew reda tigray
presidential spokesperson responded to
this claim of endf Officer just five
minutes ago what did gatachew say ?
Major general the show me gamacho
is from end of video on his briefing
which happened yesterday.
Major general the show me gamacho
briefed military officials
from different countries and uh
humanitarian organizations
and Africa Union officials.
the briefing was held in
addis ababa. it was yesterday I think and
he claimed that only endf was operating
In tigray no other force was
operating In tigray.
now we’re waiting for official position
of Tigray Regional government or Tigray
officials, Tigray New sources. they’ve been
claiming that Eritrean military amhara
forces are operating In tigray so now
official response has come.
Gatachew reda Tigray presidential
spokesperson…………………… five minutes ago in a
message said that the report the claim
by endf officer was factually incorrect.
he said thousands of Eritrean and amhara
forces are still In tigray. thousands
a big number
and thirdly said that it was African
Union observers job to
speak about the completion of withdrawal.
when it will happen
and Africa Union observers they have not
spoken so far about withdrawal
and it’s not expected anytime soon, so in
a way he criticized African Union
observers too that their speed of
monitoring the withdrawal is slow.
he said lots of work
needs to be done regarding withdrawal. it
means that Tigray’s
official position now is that thousands
of amhara forces an Eritrean
soldiers are still In Tigray. it’s not a
rumor. it’s their official position.
and tigray i think includes Raya and volkaid
in tigray. which were part of Tigray.
before the start of war and in both
these zones. there is presence of Amara
forces.
uh maybe Eritrean military too
especially in Valkaid.
so that is why, but is there any presence
of amhara forces and Eritrean military
in tigray other than Raya and volkaid.
I think in coming days things will be
clear but just three days ago Washington
Post and some other news outlets
published article and they said locals
were confirming the presence of Eritrean
military and amhara forces In tigray.
so in coming days more evidence will
come so far we have shared with you the
position of both sides.
