August 13, 2021, BBC Hardtalk interview with TPLF terrorist group spokesperson Getachew Reda. On Wednesday this week, the two destructive forces officially declared alliance and it has become much more public and an acknowledgment. PM Office Press Secretary Billene Seyoum noted, “the new thing on Wednesday’s public declaration of the terrorist TPLF and Shene groups that they have acknowledged their alliance publicly is a pronouncement of the destructive activities against the stability of Ethiopia as a state.”
Of course, the two terrorist groups have been committing all kinds of atrocities in Ethiopia particularly, during the past three years, and they are still working as leading destructive actors against the stability of the nation and terrorism is the general feature of both sides.
TPLF and Shene were behind a number of violent attacks on civilians in various parts of the country to reverse the reform that was brought about through the struggle of the Ethiopian people. Many people died and a large number of people were injured and thousands displaced.
Furthermore, they made communities live in constant fear and undermined trust in the government. There are pieces of evidence that clearly show that all of these crimes were carried out to destabilize, weaken and endanger the very existence of the nation. In this regard, all the criminal acts committed by the TPLF and Shene fully comply with the definition of terrorism under Article 3 of Proclamation No. 1176/2020 on the Prevention and Control of Terrorism.CategoryInterview
