The World Health Organization's T-E D R O S stated on Wednesday that Eritrean troops had "murdered" his uncle in Ethiopia's war-ravaged northern Tigray region.
On Wednesday, T E-D R O S addressed the UN correspondents' association at a press conference, stating, The Eritrean army had murdered my uncle, I was informed.
I addressed my mom, and she was truly crushed, in light of the fact that he was the most youthful from their family, and he was practically as old as me, a youthful uncle. As a result, my health was poor.
'He was in good company. More than fifty people from the same village were killed when they killed him in his home in the village. Just random.'
T E-D R O S Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the top of the World Wellbeing Association, said Wednesday that his uncle had been 'killed' by Eritrean soldiers in Ethiopia's conflict torn northern Tigray area
Ethiopia's administration rebels marked a truce bargain on November 2, following two years of battling that brought far-reaching human wretchedness.
Over two million people were driven from their homes and hundreds of thousands were brought to the brink of famine as a result of the conflict, which resulted in an untold number of deaths.
However, the truce makes no notice of the presence on Ethiopian soil or any conceivable withdrawal of Eritrean soldiers, who have upheld Ethiopian State head A B-I Y Ahmed's powers and been blamed for barbarities.
T E-D R O S is from Tigray, and the former health and foreign minister of Ethiopia has called for peace and free aid access to the region on numerous occasions.
'I trust the nonaggression treaty will hold, and this frenzy would stop,' the WHO boss told columnists today.
The 57-year-old T E-D R O S expressed his satisfaction at holding the press conference
In November, a ceasefire was reached after desperate peace talks to end the two-year brutal war between the Ethiopian army and T-I G R-A Y-A N forces in the country's northern region.
The conflict, which began in November 2020, has resulted in the famine of hundreds of thousands of people and the exodus of millions of people from their homes. The White House has referred to it as one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
The Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), an E-T Ha N O political group, had a lot of power as part of Ethiopia's ruling coalition during the time that the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) was in conflict with the Ethiopian federal government.
In 1991, the TPLF played a key role in the overthrow of the D-E R G, a brutal Marxist military dictatorship that killed tens of thousands of its own people. It then helped form the E-P R D F, a coalition government with four political parties from various ethnic groups in Ethiopia.
Although this system was praised for its efforts to distribute power among various ethnic groups, critics claimed that the decision to formally divide the nation into several ethnic regions only exacerbated divisions.
The TPLF, which was still in control of the north when that coalition, fell out of favor with the new federal government led by Prime Minister A-B I-Y Ahmed in 2018, when it lost national power amid a wave of protests.
The government has accused the TPLF of attempting to reestablish its national dominance, and the TPLF has accused the A-B Y-I government of oppressing T-I G R-A Y-A N and attempting to centralized power. While each side denies the other's accusations, their fighting has caused total chaos in the region and has driven a significant portion of the population into poverty and famine.
Additionally, there have been numerous reports of atrocious violations of human rights by soldiers on both sides.
After playing a crucial role in bringing an end to a 20-year conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea resulting from a border war in 1998, A-B I-Y was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2019 for his "efforts to achieve peace and international cooperation."
His efforts to make peace led to the signing of a historic peace agreement that opened borders between the two countries.
However, when he ordered a blockade of Tigray in June 2021, which cut off Internet and phone lines, closed banks, and prevented essential food and medicine from entering the region, his reputation as a peacemaker quickly deteriorated.
The war has made Ethiopia's other serious problems worse, like the worst drought in four decades, which has made it hard to get food and has hurt the economy
