(ENA) How long will Ethiopians tolerate the atrocities and oppression of the terrorist group?
Getaneh Balcha, who has made significant contributions to the peaceful political struggle in Ethiopia for the past 16 years, is currently the Political Affairs Head of the opposition Balderas Party.

The TPLF terrorist group committed serious crime, including arresting, torturing and killing mature political leaders and members of parties, especially after the 2005 election.
Getaneh recalled that many young people and he resisted the oppressive TPLF withstanding problems.
Noting that it was unthinkable to exercise freedom of expression, assembly, and association under the TPLF regime since the group became adept at suppressing human rights from its inception.

The TPLF is a master of deceit and fabricator of false evidence, the politician noted.

Detailing a long list of crime, Getaneh finally asks how long the oppression by the terrorists will continue.
No more, he underscored, adding that the terrorist group TPLF should be eliminated once and for all if the oppression and suffering of Ethiopians is to end.
Some foreign governments and international organizations have been supporting the terrorist group to achieve their long-term interests in Ethiopia.
