Arrest warrant issued for getachew assefa a top tplf boss

Post by Waachis »

An arrest warrant has been issued for former head of Ethiopian intelligence getachew assefa.
He was a very powerful man, at one point, and was responsible for the deaths and tortures of thousands of civilians.
He's also the man, according to abdi illey, who forced abdi to start a Somali oromo war.
He's escaped to Sudan, the last we heard, and maybe on his way to America where his wife and kids have been for about a year or so....

Apparently they were sentenced to 2 years in jail.
Then the major head of their church intervened and asked that they be pardoned and so, they were.

So tplf can just capture federal troops and abiy is powerless to protect his own special forces?

The reason they were even there is unclear at this point. It can't be important enough to provoke a huge war, at least, not yet. The future remains unpredictable.

They were Oromo intelligencia on a spying mission.I would rate Oromos if they tried to invade Makelle
Rather than harassing poor somali civilians in Oromia..
