A post claims that a clip shows evidence of Gedu Andargachew, a former president of Ethiopia’s Amhara region, handing over disputed land to the neighbouring Tigray region. It was part of Tigray until the war in 2020 when it was annexed to Amhara (archived here). Manipulated videoThe video begins with Gedu saying in a television interview that “Welkait is currently administered under the Tigray region”. At this point, the altered video switches to a block of text in Amharic meaning “six years ago”. There is no evidence of Gedu handing over Welkait to the Tigray region in any of the footage.
