Clashes between the Ethiopian army and the People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) in Tigre are raging. The Ethiopian army is outside the capital of the Tigris. They are ready for the final attack. Faced with this situation, the Prime Minister who received the Nobel Peace Prize threatened that if the TPLF did not surrender within 72 hours, the army would receive the final blow. An official spokesman said the city would be surrounded by artillery. “Save yourself,” he told the Tigers. It does not support TPLF. This is said for the last time. There is no forgiveness after that. “

The TPLF leader told AFP that they were ready to fight. The further the Ethiopian army advances, the more it will have to pay the price. The TPLF played an important role in the overthrow of the military regime in 1991. Since then, they have been a major force in Ethiopia. But after the current prime minister came to power in 2019, the equation changed.

The TPABF reportedly attacked for the first time earlier this month. Then the army responded. Since then, the fighting has intensified. The army has taken over many cities. They are dropping bombs from planes. Thousands have fled to Sudan.

Former US National Security Adviser Susan Rice has said that if the prime minister acted in this way, it would amount to war crimes. The United Nations and the United States believe that the Ethiopia crisis is a humanitarian crisis. His estimate is that two million refugees could move to Sudan in the coming months.
