In an article âThe Last Supper: The Slaughter Camp,â I narrated how the TPLF cabal has treasonously trapped the Ethiopian National Defence Forces of the Northern Command and savagely slaughtered them in their asleep on the fateful night of November 3, 2020.
On this night, the cabal forces viciously attacked the Command in a highly coordinated and cowardly manner both from inside and outside their camps. The harrowing stories of captured, escaped and released soldiers and also civilians have inconsolably exhibited the true color of the repugnant cabal whose criminality have been known for decades-but have been largely ignored by the international community. Following the attack, the cabal committed unimaginable atrocities which makes it difficult to narrate without being too explicit.
