The Ethiopian military has begun its offensive in the Tigray regional capital in its quest to arrest the region’s defiant leaders.

Filippo Grandi, U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, visits Umm Rakouba refugee camp sheltering people who fled the conflict in Ethiopia's Tigray region in Qadarif, eastern Sudan, Saturday, Nov. 28, 2020.

The Tigray leader could not immediately be reached. Ethiopia’s government did not immediately comment. The offensive on the densely populated city, and the threat of civilian deaths, has alarmed the international community. The United Nations said people were fleeing Mekele as forces closed in. Abiy’s government has said it will take care to avoid harming civilians in the tank-led assault.“It is possible that some of the wanted people may go to their families or neighboring areas and try to hide for few days.

A damned shame!

Tribalism and corruption are why Africa will never rise above the endemic squalor of a shithole.

Defiant leaders? You mean terrorist war criminals who held innocent Tigrayans as hostages and human shields?

Where is your story on TPLF leaders using religious, school's, and residents as human shields? Where is your story TPLF leaders have openly called on civilians to arm themselves and go up against combat soldiers?

TPLF must be responsible for the causality of Mekele city. 110+million Ethiopians waiting to see the end of terrorist TPLF.

When they’re done, we have a dicktater in the White House who could use their attention.

Biden enter the White House as President if he can prove that his ridiculous “80,000,000 votes” were not fraudulently or illegally obtained. When you see what happened in Detroit, Atlanta, Philadelphia & Milwaukee, massive voter fraud, he’s got a big unsolvable problem!

'Arrest'

Call for International Community! currently, TPLF uses the Ethiopian Orthodox Church as Fortress of War in Mekele!

Stop selling rifles and rockets to people that have been killing each other's children with rocks for 4,000 years.
