“They have been bombarding churches and monasteries including in Axum and Debre Damo. The bombarding of the Debre Damo monastery was so terrifying. They destroyed the monastery residences and the life of at least one monk was lost [in the destruction]” – Abune Mathias
The Tripartite Alliance in their path went all across the Tigray Region in the months of warfare. They bombed, the destroyed and looted heritage sites across the region. The Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF), Eritrean Defence Force (EDF) and Amhara Special Forces & Amhara Para-Military Group “Fano”. These allies went across the region and did the bidding.
The alliance didn’t care or have any concern of these buildings and it’s history. No, they raided Emperor Yohannes IV Museum/Palace in Mekelle. The same forces went in and massacred around the Tsion in Axum. There was several of other churches and buildings which was looted and destroyed by the Tripartite Alliance in the months of warfare.
Therefore, the use of Lalibela and being a UNESCO heritage site is just very convenient for the regime and it’s allies. They are spinning it and saying people should be worried. Like we don’t know what they did in Mekelle, Axum and elsewhere in the previous of months. The reports, the pictures and the knowledge of missing artefacts as well.
Like the Tripartite Alliance has looted the Debre Damo monastery and the Wukro al-Nejashi mosque. These are old heritage sites as well, which has significant importance for the Christian and Muslims. Where the was scrolls and manuscripts, which was looted and taken away from there. This is what the state and their allies did in the recent months.
So, when the Prosperity Party and the Prime Minister speaks ill of the TPLF and the TDF it is total projection of what they did themselves in Tigray. The state and its allies did destroy and loot heritage sites. The alliance did loot and rob factories, universities and everything else in their sights. Therefore, these statements and the ones from the outside should worry what this alliance still does in Western Tigray.
The TDF have not shown signs of destruction or looting, which the ENDF, EDF and Amhara allies has done in Tigray. The world should see what the Tripartite alliance did in the recent months and see the projection for which it is. The PM and PP knows this, but they have a vilifying story to sell. Peace.
