He is reportedly killed in Hewane, a locality outside Mekelle city. The Ethiopian government confirmed that the activist is killed, and linked the assassination to what it called remnants of ethnic Tigray People’s Liberation Front. There was a claim in the past that Abiy Ahmed led Ethiopian government supported Fenkil Tigray Movement. But later the leader of the movement, Yemane, fell out with the government after the completion of law enforcement operations in the region.
