Ethiopian general tells diplomats of ‘dirty war’ in Tigray
A “dirty war” causing suffering for “defenceless” victims is unfolding in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region, a general said in a private briefing with diplomats last week, according to an audio recording of his comments obtained by AFP.
የትግራዩ ሕግ የማስከበር ዘመቻ ግብረ ሃይል ሃላፊ ጄኔራል ዮሃንስ ገ/መስቀል የትግራዩ ጦርነት ሰላማዊ ሰዎች ላይ ጉዳት እያደረሰ ያለ አስቀያሚ ጦርነት ነው በማለት መናገራቸውን ኤኤፍፒ ዘግቧል፡፡ ጄኔራሉ ይህን የተናገሩት ባለፈው ሳምንት በመቀሌ ለተገኙት የውጭ ዲፕሎማቶች ነው፡፡ ለክልሉ ቀውስ ወታደራዊ አማራጭ ብቻውን ዘላቂ መፍትሄ ይሆናል ብለው እንደማያምኑ ጄኔራሉ አክለው ተናግረዋል- ብሏል ዘገባው፡፡
“This is a dirty war because it’s affecting everything. You don’t see fronts. The cost is immediately to those who are defenceless,” General Yohannes Gebremeskel Tesfamariam said during the March 11 briefing in the regional capital Mekele attended by dozens of diplomats.
“On the atrocities, rape, crime… I cannot give you concrete evidence, but I don’t think we are going to be fortunate to see that such things have not happened.”
General Yohannes Gebremeskel Tesfamariam did not indicate which forces might be responsible for “atrocities”.
