ADDIS ABABA – If the Ethiopia National Defense Forces (ENDF) did not capture Humera town and its surroundings earlier than expected, the TPLF crime- soaked junta would massacre over 1,000 citizens, Humera residents have told local media recently.
As to the residents, the junta had profiled the identities of over 1,000 citizens living in Humera town to brutally massacre as it did in Maikadra.
However, they said the junta was defeated and forced to flee the town in panic by the ENDF and Amhara Special Forces while plotting to massacre innocent people. Thus, the conspiracy to carry out mass killing was totally curtailed.
The residents also said that apart from digging grave, the junta had been preparing for over a week to identify and prepare list of the citizens who would be massacred.
“Many of our sisters and brothers have been tortured and killed by the junta and others have fled the area to save their lives. We used to live in fear as the junta so often terrorized us because of our identity. We feel much safer now as the ENDF has taken full control of the area.”
The junta had left no stone unturned to instigate ethnic clashes in the areas but all in vain . The junta suffers from lack of empathy for ordinary and peace loving people.
The people residing in the area have already begun leading normal life and various social services have been resumed.
For nearly three decades, the junta had sowed the seeds of division along ethnic and religious lines, sponsoring conflict across the nation aiming at dismantling the country. The group has no concern for the people of Tigray State while pretending that as it stood for the people of Tigray, it was learnt.
