According to sources
in Addis Abeba and Amhara Regional cities, and Addis Abeba based Sheger Radio, thousands of heavily armed members of the
Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) along with the special squad of Agazi
Force, have been deployed to the Gojjam and Gonder provinces of the Amhara
regional state.
Images also appeared
on social media showing heavy army vehicles being transported, in what appears
to be the two regional towns.
Several protesters
have also reportedly been killed today. ESAT reported that farmers freed
hundreds of protesters, who were detained in the Sabatamit prison in the
outskirts of Bahir Dar city.
Prime Minister
Hailemariam Dessalegn said the current level of protest in Ethiopia is
containable but blamed foreign countries that do not want Ethiopia to benefit
using its resources, who are now “funding extreme Diaspora forces.”
Hailemariam said he
ordered security forces to take “any & all” forms of measures against
protesters across Ethiopia.
The Amhara Regional
Administration today announced on the regional television that it has started
arresting key figures suspected of leading the ant-government protests
