ADDIS ABABA/GENEVA (Reuters) - Ethiopia’s military accused World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Thursday of supporting and trying to procure arms and diplomatic backing for Tigray state’s dominant political party, which is fighting federal forces.
“He himself is a member of that group and he is a criminal,” army chief of staff General Birhanu Jula said in a televised statement, before calling for him to be removed. Birhanu did not offer any evidence to support his accusations.
Tedros, in a tweet posted in the evening, denied taking sides in the conflict in his home country Ethiopia and called on all parties there to work for peace and the safety of civilians.
