Over the weekends, I was made aware that Mekelle is now under the secure protection of the National Defense Forces. I saw reports and videos of people cheering in their liberators. And make no mistake, they are indeed liberators!
The people of Mekelle have been abused by the TPLF thugs long enough. The disappearances, the murders, the kidnappings, the long list of grotesque horrors that was allowed to swallow Mekelle whole by the TPLF.
Yes, this is indeed a liberation. The proud center of a bright and wealthy people turned into a place where not one young person wants to remain? Where community elders where thrown into cells and intimidated? Where the very glue that holds together society was actively being washed away? How can this not be a liberation?
Tonight, the people of Mekelle will sleep well knowing their sons and daughters are safe. And with the help of God, the reign of their oppressors will soon come to an end.
