Ethiopian Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed has made an appearance on the frontline of the country’s armed struggle with the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) on Friday, state television reported.

Dressed in full military fatigues, Abiy commented that the army’s morale was high and that the enemy had no chance in a clip that was also widely shared on social media.

Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Abiy on Wednesday handed over the day-to-day management of the government to a deputy to allow himself time to go and personally show his support for government troops on the frontline, a statement read.

The conflict between the central government and the TPLF, which began in Tigray about a year ago, had since spread to other parts of the multi-ethnic country.

Long considered an anchor of stability in a highly volatile region, Ethiopia is now faced with the possibility of all out civil war or even disintegration.

Alongside the Oromo Liberation Army, another rebel group, the TPLF is advancing on the nation’s capital Addis Ababa.

Attempts by the U.S. and the African Union to mediate had so far come to nothing.

Abiy has come in for heavy criticism for his actions in Tigray and has been accused of war crimes and of imposing a de facto blockade of the region.

The conflict has plunged the north of the country into a deep humanitarian crisis.

========================About Us=========================

METROWATCH is an online daily newspaper founded in October 2013 by a seasoned reporter, Collins Edomaruse. He had risen to the position of General Editor in his 18 years stint at THISDAY newspaper, an appointment he resigned on October 30, 2013 to pursue his online newspaper publishing dream. Prior to his appointment as the newspaper’s General Editor, he had served, at various times, as Editor, Nation’s Capital;  Group News Editor, Associate Editor, and Deputy Editor at different times for the newspaper’s three titles – Daily, Sunday and Saturday.

Edomaruse had covered education, sports, energy, national security, defence and transport beats among others. As a defence correspondent, Edomaruse traversed the war zones of both Liberia and Sierra-Leone in the dark days of Charles Taylor and Foday Sanko as warlords, which earned him the sobriquet “General” by his colleagues in the newsroom.

OUR MISSION

METROWATCH will act as a catalyst in our debate and desire for a crime-free Nigeria and provide the much-needed platform for all, irrespective of social, religious or political divide, to express their views.

OUR VISION

METROWATCH will strive to bring to the public domain issues of bad governance, dirty business, hostile neighborliness, security challenges and other crime issues that are always begging for attention in Nigeria.

We will pursue this course with every vigor in our drive for the TRUTH and FAIRNESS.
