'Ethiopian PM Ahmed said release Tsege or I resign' [Video]

Hardtalk's Zeinab Badawi interviews Andargachew Tsege, co-founder of Ethiopian opposition group, Ginbot 7.

@ 16:27, Andy says,

Andargachew: In fact, my view about Eritreans has helped in convincing the current prime minister to take the measure he's taking.

Zeinab: What is your view? I mean you've met Isaias Afwerki, the longtime leader of Eritrea. Is this a man Abiy Ahmed can do business with?

Andargachew: Yea, I think he can do. There are a lot of things the outside world is bias or doesn't know about the Eritreans, I strongly believe. Of course there are some issues, but they will. I have a feeling there is going to be peace between Ethiopia and Eritrea and a very close relationship in all aspects.

@ 17:06, Andy speaks on his discussion with PM Abiy Ahmed and reveals the valiant effort he made in obtaining his freedom.



'Ethiopian PM Ahmed said release Tsege or I resign'

By BBC

Ethiopian opposition leader, Andargachew Tsege, says he was released from prison after the country's prime minister threatened to resign.

Mr Tsege, a co-founder of the Ginbot 7 opposition movement, spent four years in prison after being accused of plotting a coup against the Ethiopian government. He was sentenced to death in 2009.

After being pardoned in May 2018, Mr Tsege held a 90-minute meeting with Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, who has introduced a series of reforms since taking office in April.

British passport-holder Mr Tsege has subsequently re-joined his family in London.
