commander of the armed militia group Kefagn Amhara
This is Mesafint Teka, a commander of the armed militia group Kefagn Amhara. A video emerged of him delivering a speech at a packed auditorium said to be in Gondar where he calls on ethnic Amhara youths to join the ranks of his forces and attack Tigrayans in the Amhara region.
“If they don’t show opposition to the TPLF like we have…Tigray(ans) should leave our area, our land our borders, get out of our country! We can meet them head on (in battle)!” Mesafint clutching a rifle and flanked by heavily armed members of his militia tells a crowd.

The Amhara regional government ought to reel in such people. In trying times like these, where the slightest gestures ignite communal violence and displace people from their homes in the thousands, there is no place in Ethiopia for Mesafint Teka.
