Ethiopian dictator Meles Zenawi’s puppet in the Tigray Region, Abay Woldu, has sent bulldozers today to demolish 5,000 houses, displacing over 15,000 people, including women, children and the elderly.
Abay did not provide shelter for the people, and they are now homeless. Many of those who protested the demolition have been savagely beaten up and thrown in jail. The fascist regime has also ordered over 40,000 residents in the southern Ethiopian town of Awassa to vacate their homes. Read more about the Mekele demolition in Amharic here.
