The mastermind behind the rebel advance in Tigray

news The mastermind behind the rebel advance in Tigray For the second time in his life, a former army general has found himself at the centre of a rebellion against the Ethiopian government in the mountainous Tigray region, writes analyst Alex de Waal. The commander of Tigrayan rebel forces, Gen Tsadkan Gebretensae, is regarded by international security analysts as one of the finest military strategists of his generation in Africa. The 68-year-old abandoned his biology degree at Addis Ababa University in 1976 to join the Tigray People s Liberation Front (TPLF). At the time it was a band of a few hundred guerrillas in remote mountains fighting the-then Marxist regime of Mengistu Haile Mariam.

What a blind man s death says about Ethiopia s conflict

news What a blind man s death says about Ethiopia s conflict © BBC The injury-plagued life, and now death, of Asmelash Woldeselassie highlights the brutality and cyclical nature of conflicts in Ethiopia s mountainous Tigray region. Having joined the Tigray People s Liberation Front (TPLF) around the time of its formation in 1975, Asmelash lost his eyesight when he was bombed in his hideout in the Imba Alaje mountain during the war that ended with the guerrilla movement marching into Ethiopia s capital, Addis Ababa, to seize power from the notorious Mengistu Haile Mariam regime in 1991. Then in 1998, when the TPLF-led government found itself at the centre of a border war with Eritrea, Asmelash lost his left arm in an airstrike on the regional capital, Mekelle.
