borkenaOctober 3,2018Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) has not been known to many Ethiopians as a party of change. But there was no, apparently, expectation among many that the party would re-elect former spy chief Getachew Assefa not just as one of the 9 executive committee of the party but also for the central committee membership. As a member of TPLF’s Executive and Central Committee, the faceless, as many Ethiopians calls him, ardent TPLF spy chief was supposed to attend EPRDF 11th Congress in Hawassa, Southern Ethiopia. From TPLF statement following conclusion of its congress in Mekelle some two days ago, it seems that he is in Mekelle. Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation (EBC) has produced a documentary regarding tortures and inmate abuses at Maekelawi torture chamber, among others, during his tenure as head of spy chief.
