Addis Ababa, Oct 21 (Prensa Latina) Aregawi Berhe, Chairperson of Tigray Democratic Party, on Thursday urged to stop the atrocities committed by the Tigray People Liberation Front (TPLF), which he accused of depriving Ethiopia of peace and prosperity.

All citizens must unite to help the federal forces to combat the inhumane acts by the terrorist group, Berhe said at a public appearance broadcast nationwide.

That terrorist group abuses civilians, included the people of Tigray it claims to represent and defend, it forces children to participate in the war, it does not respect women, neither do the elderly, how long will we allow such a situation?, he questioned.

The TPLF, he stressed, is a terrorist group that since it was established, has been an obstacle to the stability and prosperity of the region, massacring, kidnapping and robbery are part of its daily activity.

Since November 2020, the National Defense Forces launched an offensive against the Front, an organization accused of subverting the constitutional order and violating human rights, among other crimes, and declared terrorist by Parliament.

In mid 2021, the federal Government unilaterally decreed a ceasefire to facilitate agricultural works and humanitarian efforts in Tigray, but the group dismissed it and since then, it has extended its criminality to the states of Afar and Amhara.
