And he added in a statement, today, Friday, that the campaign launched by the government achieved its first goal of removing the “Tigray Front” from the Amhara and Afar regions, and the government ordered the army to stay in the areas it regained.
He continued, “In the past, emotional military decisions plunged our country into a vicious cycle of war. The campaign to weaken Ethiopia is multi-faceted. The danger is not only obvious, but also hidden. Military, diplomatic, economic and intelligence wars are being waged in an organized and sophisticated manner today.”
