With the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) rebels and the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) pressing on with their fight in Ethiopia and threatening the capital Addis Ababa, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has put his money where his mouth is.
Abiy announced he was jumping into camouflage, taking up a gun, and going to the front to lead his government’s pushback.
