Listening to #Tigray governor #Debretsion who behaves like a responsible leader of government. After chastising Tigrayans for lax attitude on #COVID19 ; he characterized relationship with @AbiyAhmedAli's federal government as "at war short of exchanging bullets." @wdavison10
"We had said we would not be the only victims, now it is the Oromos turn. The idea is to dismantle the Federal order. Now they are tying us with Egypt & OLF on Hachalu's case. Some are calling for attacking us in collaboration with Shaebia. This is treason, legally a crime."
"This is their desperate gasp for last breath. This shows they are failing. There is fear that power may be cut etc. They may do a lot of things including firing bullets. However, the right of Tigray people is at stake for us. We will not compromise to have power or tele service"
"Some have thought our current preparation to be about elections." It is not. Current discussions are about resistance. Now, preparations are about putting our people on high alert. The conflict has reached its extreme edge.
"We are transforming our organizing and we have notified international institutions. They have said they would do what they can to help. We are preparing not just our people but everyone concerned." Said Debretsion.
