Ethiopian Media Services discusses Colonel Demeke Zewdu, whom the channel's title describes as having surrendered.
Background: Colonel Demeke Zewdu is a former army officer who cofounded and led the Welkait Committee, which campaigns for Welkait to be administered as part of the Amhara region. He was arrested in Gondar in 2016 and released in February 2018 after charges against him and dozens of others were dropped. Human Rights Watch said in April 2026 that he was the zone's deputy administrator and security chief and called for him to be suspended and investigated over the treatment of Tigrayans there; the zone administration rejected the report as "false allegations." The 2022 Pretoria agreement left the status of Western Tigray, which includes Welkait, unsettled.
