Mr @reda_getachew's TPLF-led IRA Lt General Fisseha Kidanu has ordered all Zonal security officials and all armies and heads of Army fronts to take the peaceful protest as coup d'etat & independently take all necessary measures as they see fit until they get more specific orders.
Arresting individuals who played a significant role in your return to power seems to be an ill-advised course of action. We strongly demand the immediate release of @Tsegay_Gebremedhin and all other political prisoners.
@reda_getachew's police force beating, torturing & somehow seemingly training Karate on peaceful protester.
The one who is being beaten is Tedros Belay, a recently demobilized TDF member.
He is a highly trained combatant, but he stayed calm while his friends in the army beat him.
A day before the peaceful demonstration that was organized by Tigray's three major opposition parties, Salsay Weyane Tigray (SAWET), Tigray Independence Party (TIP) and Congress for Great Tigray (Baytona), Hayalu Godefay , Chair of SAWET, Dejen Mezgebo, Chair of TIP and 1/4
Some of the slogans by the peaceful demonstrators are below. Here, you see them heading to Romanat Square while getting stopped at every corner
1. Rights of those under custody should be respected
2. Salary to the civil servants and pensioners
"We want to farm and live; we don’t want to continue waiting for aid."
Tigrayan IDPs take to the streets to demand that they be returned to their homes and that outside forces leave Tigray.

Ethiopia 🇪🇹 starved Tigray every chance it gets with the support of enough Ethiopians in the name of unity. Not only did Ethiopia starve Tigrayans, it forcibly displaced them to other parts of Ethiopia, to break the cohesion of the community and the social fabric. Fascist 🇪🇹
