More than 10,000 protest US economic and security sanctions on Ethiopia over the conflict in Tigray.
Ethiopian pro-government demonstrators have denounced the United States for imposing restrictions on aid over the Tigray conflict, at a huge rally organised by the authorities to show support for their positions. More than 10,000 people attended the rally on Sunday, some carrying banners written in English, Arabic and Amharic. “Ethiopia does not need (a) caretaker,” declared one banner at Addis Ababa Stadium, while others denounced “western intervention”. A placard that read “Fill the dam” was also seen, a reference to a huge Nile dam opposed by Egypt and Sudan.More Related News
