22 Nov 2020 – (EP) Ethiopia Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed ‘advised’ TPLF leaders to surrender within 72 hours.

In a statement today, the PM said that military operation reached its 3rd and final stage to root out the junta leaders in the region’s capital, Mekelle.

He also said the operation to capture the TPLF leaders should be done in a way that results in a “minimal damage and casualties.”

Meanwhile, the international community has condemned the destruction of infrastructures such as airports (pictured), roads and bridges by the irresponsible TPLF that is making humanitarian assistance to the people of Tigray impossible.
