More than 30 civilians killed during TPLF’s indiscriminate heavy shelling of Wuchale and Chifra towns, Ethiopia

 
Addis Ababa, October 19, 2021 - The Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) carried out an indiscriminate heavy shelling of Wuchale and Chifra towns of North Wollo, Amhara region, killing more than 30 civilians.

According to Ambasel Woreda Communications office chief, Habte Melese, who talked with the BBC Amharic, 9 civilians were killed in the indiscriminate shelling by TPLF on Chifra town alone.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) released a statement yesterday denouncing TPLF’s random shelling of civilians in Amhara and Chifra after its failure to choke the Djibouti-Addis route.


“They have indiscriminately targeted and shelled civilian villages namely Chifra and Wuchale lately and killed more than 30 civilians at Wuchale alone”, said the MoFA.

“The Government of Ethiopia is deeply dismayed by the reticence of the international community to condemn the perpetuated atrocities of the TPLF. Adding salt to our injury is the seemingly pro-TPLF resolution of the European Parliament and the utterly biased statement issued following the US and its partners' high-level ministerial meeting over the situation in Northern Ethiopia,” added the statement released by the Ministry yesterday.

Rather, it’s the most malicious form of humanitarian imperialism short of a Libyan-like all-out war. ESPDA has mostly been reported to concern sanctions against individuals who the US determines to have either imported “restricted” military equipment, impeded the flow of humanitarian assistance, and/or have been involved in “genocide”, “war crimes”, and “crimes against humanity”. There are several other provisions though that haven’t received all that much attention but definitely deserve to be more widely discussed. The first to touch upon concerns the U
