The Ethiopian Government today reaffirmed its ability to restore law and order in the Tigray region without external intervention.
The statement came after the Ethiopian Army began an offensive attack against the TPLF militia, which attacked the northern command of the federal government army based in Tigray on November 4, 2020 and hit some artillery killing the soldiers, thereby which the government described as treason. “As a sovereign nation, Ethiopia reaffirms its ability and resolve to administer and manage its own operation of the rule of law without any outside intervention. Our National Defense Forces have not only been the pride of Ethiopia, but have internationally demonstrated their professionalism and ability as peacekeepers deployed in many nations, ”the Prime Minister’s Office said in its press release.
“The Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia continues to take on the irreversible task of enforcing the rule of law in the Tigray region, which began last week after the treacherous attacks by the TPLF against the Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) . With the public admission yesterday by a high-ranking TPLF member and spokesperson that the ENDF Northern Command was attacked, our determination to apprehend criminal elements within the TPLF is stronger than ever. “
The statement also noted that “as the ENDF advances, liberating and taking over various areas within the region, the crimes against humanity committed by the belligerent clique have become quite evident. The heinous and reprehensible massacre committed against innocent civilians in Mykadra by the TPLF is clearly a grave violation of the most basic norms of international law. “
“These horrendous attacks on civilians perpetrated by the TPLF are an abominable transgression that the international community needs not only to take note of, but also to condemn in the strongest possible terms. The international community must also support the Federal Government in its efforts to bring to justice the perpetrators of such heinous crimes. ”
“We are aware of the desperate and desperate attempts to escape the responsibility that the TPLF board will assume. However, we want to assure everyone that the operation we have undertaken to bring to justice any individual or group attempting to destabilize Ethiopia will be carried out with the principle of limited harm to the civilian population. With an unwavering commitment, we will see the end of this operation, ”he said.
The Federal Government is asserting its constitutional mandate to uphold the rule of law in accordance with the laws of the country. With overwhelming popular support for the cause of justice and the rule of law and through the Tigray Interim Administration currently being established under the leadership of Dr. Mulu Nega Kahsay, we are confident that law, order and peace Durable will eventually remain in Tigray. as we achieve and finalize our operational objectives.
