Listen Comment on this story Comment Gift Article ShareThe head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said Wednesday that his uncle was “murdered” by Eritrean forces in Ethiopia’s restive province of Tigray. They have accused him of seeking to procure weapons for the Tigray region — claims that Tedros has denied. Under the 2022 deal, Tigrayan forces pledged to disarm and not provide any support to any other armed group in Ethiopia. Eritrea shares a border with Tigray and has supported Ethiopia’s central government in the Tigrayan conflict. The Eritrean government has been a longtime enemy of the TPLF, with President Isaias Afwerki seeing the TPLF leadership as an existential threat.
