Tigray ceasefire was a wise decision informed by a sense of humanity say Ethiopian opposition leader, Beyene PetrosBeyene Petros, leader of Ethiopian Social Democratic Party (Photo : ENA)borkenaThe Ethiopian government calls the ceasefire it introduced earlier this week as a “silent time” for Ethiopians in the Tigray region of Ethiopia to reflect about what they want to do. Some opposition parties in the country, including ones led by ethnic Tigrean politicians, are reacting to the unilateral ceasefire. Aregawi Berhe, cofounder of Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) who is currently leading Tigray Democratic Party as chairman, said people in Tigray region should not be collaborators to the terrorist group (he is making a reference to the party he helped establish in the late 1970s). Part of the support was channelled to TPLF forces in a corrupt way by supporters of the party. Professor Beyene Petros, another prominent opposition politician and leader of Ethiopian Social Democratic Party, said the Ethiopian government has done everything it can to support the Ethiopian people in Tigray under difficult circumstances.
