In a landmark meeting held in Addis Ababa on October 24, 2020, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed addressed over 500 participants of the Addis Ababa City administration, including Mr. Geberemesekel Kasa, a key figure within the Ethiopian Prosperity Party and former head of the secretary for the Tigray regional government office. Through a video conference, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed unequivocally announced his intent to launch a war on Tigray, boldly asserting his capability to conclude the conflict within a timeframe of three to five days.
Eyewitness Mr. Geberemesekel Kasa, privy to the discussions, attested to the Prime Minister’s statements, providing firsthand testimony regarding the imminent military action against Tigray. His account serves as a compelling rebuttal to the misleading narrative propagated by the Ethiopian government, which attributes the onset of hostilities to an alleged attack on the northern command.
