Situation in Horn of Africa destabilizes as Ethiopia confirms its troops moving towards Tiagrayan capital

Ethiopia might see some serious complications in coming days as the officials make their stand clear against the rebel forces and confirm that they will be sending troops to look over the Tigrayan capital on Tuesday.

The conflict that shook the horn of Africa lasted for a whole of two weeks now and it has not only impacted the African continent but also the world. The Prime Minister of the country Abiy Ahmed said, “The final critical act of law enforcement will be done in the coming days.”

Yesterday, Ethiopia included a special task force to control the situation which arose earlier this month. The task forces have accused the rebel groups of doing a lot of infrastructure damages especially targeting bridges connecting the regional capital Mekelle with the rest of the country to restrict the movement of the federal forces and stop any attempt of controlling their activities.

As per a statement reported by the Reuters, the army personnel’s said, “Anxious about (our) advance, the junta has destroyed four bridges that lead to Mekelle. The TPLF junta will soon be held accountable for destroying this infrastructure and for crimes it has committed so far.”

The statement also included that rebel group also destroyed the sections that is towards east of the Mekelle in between the Ethiopian towns of Shire and Axum. The TPLF is yet to comment on these accusations.

On November 4, the President of the Ethiopia Abiy, ordered airstrikes and a ground offensive attack on his ex-comrades and accused Tigray People’s Liberations Front of the armed revolt. Abiy Ahmed had won the Nobel peace prize last year for getting involved between the conflicts within the country.

Top Tigrayan leaders believe and say that the 44-year-old President ill-treats the tribe and purges them from government. He has denied them taking over positions in security posts and wee-earning jobs since 2018, when he came to power. Many believe that it is due to him coming from the largest Ethiopian ethnic group--Oromo.

The Tigrayans are also accused of firing rockets and taking extreme measures against the neighboring nation of Eritrea as they feel that the neighboring country is supporting the Ethiopian government in their attack against the Tigrayans.

People are feeling extremely threatened by the situation and one of the residents from Addis Abada said, “How could they kill their own brothers and sisters? This is not our custom.”
