📍Global Protests Against Abiy.
Tigrayan diaspora groups, joined by Somali, Eritrean and Sudanese allies, held protests across the US and Europe. Demonstrators condemned drone strikes and atrocities in Tigray, Amhara, Afar and Oromia, and demanded foreign governments freeze all financial and military support to Ethiopia.
📍Sudan has ordered the Ethiopian consulate in Gedaref to shut down within 48 hours. The move is widely seen as direct retaliation for Ethiopia’s closure of Sudan’s Assosa office and the expulsion of six Sudanese diplomats.
📍Ethiopian army has established a drone base at Axum Airport for operations in northern Ethiopia. Sources also allege that foreign mercenaries in Tigray are primarily coordinating drone strikes and heavy artillery.
📍Militants killed four farmers and abducted another in Konso Zone. The attack comes one month after a similar raid in the same area that left nine people dead and destroyed local schools and clinics.
📍Human Rights Watch urged international partners to pressure Ethiopia to reverse the suspension of The Reporter newspaper. The group said silencing independent media has become the “new normal” and is aimed at preventing public scrutiny.
📍Tigray’s caretaker administration appointed 17 new bureau chiefs in a major reshuffle. At the same time, the TPLF-led Tigray government called on members of the Ethiopian military and security agencies, declaring that the current administration’s end is imminent.
