Ethiopia PM visits Tigray region, asked to address conflict with Eritrea

Ethiopian prime minister, Abiy Ahmed has continued his country tour, visiting the capital of the Tigray regional state, where he addressed war veterans and members of the community.

The reformist leader who has visited the restive Oromiya and Somali regions and met with opposition leaders since taking office on April 2, is hoping to quell protests that have rocked the country and mobilise support for democratic reforms.

Welcomed by the Tigray president, Dr. Debretsion Gebremichael, Abiy visited the Martyrs Monument in Mekelle, before addressing a public gathering at the Martyrs Hall in the Tigray capital.

Sources from the gathering said the premier addressed issues raised by the public that included free movement of citizens, infrastructure development and the Ethio-Eritrea conflict.

Ethiopia is currently under a state of emergency that was declared after the former prime minister Hailemariam Desalegn resigned in February.

The ruling EPRDF coalition picked Abiy last month to replace Hailemariam Desalegn, who quit to clear the way for reforms in Ethiopia, Africa’s second most populous nation which has been racked by violence for the last three years.

Hundreds have been killed by security forces in Oromiya, the violence triggered by land rights but largely fuelled by a sense of political and economic marginalisation among the young.

After taking the oath of office, the former army lieutenant colonel struck a conciliatory tone and addressed the need for ethnic unity.

Since January Addis Ababa has released thousands of prisoners that included dissidents and journalists in a bid to calm discontent.

Last Friday, it also shut down a detention facility known as “Makelawi”, where rights groups have alleged that torture has taken place. The government plans to turn it into a museum.

The government has often been accused by rights groups of regularly using security concerns as an excuse to stifle dissent and media freedoms.

    Ethiopian PM visits Tigray Region, asked to address conflict Eritrea…
    It is very unfortunate to read some unprogressive comments written by some Eritrean commentators regarding the new Ethiopian PM and his first visit to different regions—mainly, of course, not by archive.assenna.com visitors. I do not how possible this is, but they demand the new PM to make genuine beginnings about the issues which are brought to his attention by all the opposition groups as well as the Eritrean issues. If there is one word that I wanted to underline here is leave the new PM alone. Those people who are now in front line blaming the new PM —for not acting fast enough were the defenders of the “lucky devil” in Eritrea. If this is not a paradox then what it is? Being fair enough, the young PM is able to see the changes that he had to make. We have things to do. We should act or pretend the know all people when it comes beyond our borders and very dumb when it matters our bussines.

    pls. read as : We should not act or pretend the know all……..
