ADDIS ABABA, JANUARY 21, 2022 — French Ambassador to Ethiopia Rémi Maréchaux visited Wollo University and Dessie Specialized Hospital which were ransacked and looted by the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) fighters.
The Directors of the university and the hospital showed the destruction caused by the TPLF terrorists on civilian infrastructures to the French Ambassador and his envoy.
Wollo University is undergoing restoration and it is expected to begin classes the coming month, according to the President.
Dr. Mengesha Ayene, Wollo University President, said that the terrorists stole anything they could carry while burning that which they could not.
Although, the French Ambassador Rémi Maréchaux said his country will assist in rebuilding the university, the President of Wollo University emphasized that the Ambassador's visit will help the international community understand the extent of destruction caused by the TPLF.
It is to be recalled that on December 12, 2021, the US government had said the atrocities and destruction committed by the TPLF in Amhara and Afar were "unconfirmed" and thus the visit by the French Ambassador is crucial in helping create awareness.
The French Ambassador promised that he will facilitate the technology experience exchange between Wollo University and universities in France.
Ambassador Rémi Maréchaux also pledged to help restore the 80 years old Dessie Specialized Hospital which used to serve 10 million citizens from Amhara, Afar including Tigray. At the moment, the hospital is only providing basic services after it was damaged and looted by the TPLF fighters.
