ENCDCENCDC Message of Condolences to the People and the Government of Ethiopia

His Excellency Dr. Abiy Ahmed

The Ethiopian Prime Minister

on behalf of the Eritrean National Council for Democratic Change, I am pleased to express to your Excellency and to brotherly people of Ethiopia, our full solidarity in the great injured in the Amhara region, which led to the assassination of the Governor of the region and others, as well as the assassination of the Ethiopian Chief of Staff and others in Addis Ababa.

We hereby send our condolences to the people, the government of Ethiopia and the families of the Victims and injured citizens, and officials. We believe that the brotherly Ethiopian people bear the responsibility of protecting their Constitution and their democratic institutions, which they have acquired after a long struggle, and are always encouraged to resort to legal and peaceful means to resolve any dispute within them. We also hope that Ethiopia will remain strong and united against such illegal acts, stressing that the Eritrean National Council stands with all the democratic forces in Ethiopia and the region in earnest to strive for peace, security and stability in our region.

Once again, accept Your Excellency our warm condolences, and we hope that the Ethiopian people and its political forces will be able to exceed the difficult moments in Ethiopian history
