Getachew Reda, a senior official of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) on Wednesday reinforced his support for the cause of Kimant people for self-administration after rejecting claims by the Amhara region officials that TPLF orchestrated violence this week. TPLF has a moral obligation to support the cause of Kimant people for self-administration, Getachew added. The Amhara region Police Commissioner Abera Adamu pointed fingers at TPLF for arming militias that have attacked villages in North Gondar this week. “Any claim that TPLF had anything to do with the violence is inaccurate,” Getachew said. The US Embassy in Ethiopia on Wednesday warned American citizens to avoid the city of Gondar and its surrounding areas in the Amhara Region, citing reports of gunfire, roadblocks and the destruction of property.
