#Ethiopia - I spoke to two soldiers of ENDF’s northern command who were among thousands of soldiers under arrest of #TPLF since the conflict broke out on November 03. After travelling for four nights they arrived in Sekota town of the neighbouring #Amhara state, yesterday.
From what they told me:
- On the night of November 03 they were suddenly surrounded and fired at by TPLF special force and militias. Most of the soldiers were unarmed, their weapons locked in a store room. Those who were armed and have access to their weapons tried to fight back.

**A little about Irreechaa**
When we say #Irreechaa is a thanksgiving, we are not trying to make it what it is not. Irreechaa is merely a thanksgiving and here is what you need to know.
Irreechaa also called Irreessaa literally means a sacred gift.
*THREAD*
What the #Oromo do on Irreechaa is thanking GOD by giving him a gift. The gift they give him is a wet GRASS.
I will explain why grass out of all the precious gifts they could give him. But first why they thank him?
They thank God for a ‘means of life’ that he provided them.
