Ethiopian Army Chief on Armed Groups
Ethiopian Army Chief of Staff, General Berhanu Jula, stated that the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) is seeking to push the country into a new war through provocations, accusing armed groups of relying on external support and being unable to face Ethiopia alone. He clarified that the government is exercising restraint and avoiding the outbreak of an unnecessary war. He pointed out that Tigray forces are targeting areas in the Afar region and control three cities there, amid escalating fighting in three regions with a population of over 38 million people along the borders with Eritrea and Djibouti. This has raised concerns about the conflict escalating into a regional war. These remarks come after renewed attacks by the TPLF on neighboring regions, with internet services cut off in conflict zones, and amidst warnings of military escalation and civilian harm, as well as UN cautions against further escalation and humanitarian violations.
