Ethnic profiling at the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia!

One of my friends in Addis Ababa:

<<Gerewa, yesterday they took a copy of the employment IDs of every #Tigrayan employee at the Head Office of the Commerical Bank of Ethiopia.>>

I was curious and asked: " Wait, did they take the copy of the IDs of only the #Tigrayan employees or of all employees regardless of their ethnic background?"
To which my friend replied, "It is only the #Tigrayans ..."

"They might start detaining #Tigrayan employees tomorrow; that is what I feel."

I asked, "Who are they? I mean who are those who are taking copies of the IDs of #Tigrayan employees of the Commerical Bank of Ethiopia?"

He replied, "The police!"
