Africa-Press<\/a> – Ethiopia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Addis Ababa December 18\/2020 (ENA) TPLF Security and Militia Head of Baeker and neighboring towns has been apprehended hiding in a refugee camp in Shire town.<\/p>\n

The suspect called Enkuayehu Mesele was Militia Head of western Tigray and mastermind of the TPLF junta\u2019s ethnic-based massacre in the areas.<\/p>\n

Captain Amanuel Belete, a commander in the Fifth Mechanized Division of Northern Command, told ENA that the suspect is known to have been TPLF\u2019s right-hand and a perpetrator of the countless murders and intimidation in Baeker, Qafta, and Humera towns.<\/p>\n

Enkuayehu was also given full responsibility to lead the war from Baeker to Turkan, Humera, and all the way to Qafta, he revealed.<\/p>\n

According to Captain Amanuel, the alleged criminal finally left his pistol and Kalashnikov behind and fled to Shire town where he was captured hiding in a refugee camp in the town.<\/p>\n

Following the launching of the surprise attack by the TPLF junta in early November 2020, the suspect led and coordinated militias in the western Tigray front, the commander explained.<\/p>\n

Beyond this, Enkuayehu had ordered the ethnic profiling of the National Defense Force members in the localities, it was learned.<\/p>\n

Captain Amanuel Belete noted further that TPLF criminal militants are being hunted down jointly by the army and army to bring them to justice.<\/p>\n

He appreciated the huge support the local communities have been providing and called for their usual cooperation in the effort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
