Zone Ready to Welcome Displaced Persons

Addis Ababa, October 10, 2025 (ENA)—Senior leaders of Welkait Tegede Setit Humera Zone have expressed their readiness to welcome displaced people from the zone to return to their villages and to resume normal life.

Welkait Tegede Setit Humera Zone Chief Administrator, Ashete Demlew and Deputy Chief Administrator of the zone and Head of Peace and Security Department, Colonel Demeke Zewdu said in their briefing that activities are being carried out to return those displaced from the zone during the war in the north and to resume peaceful life.

Zone Chief Administrator Ashete Demlew said those who were displaced from the zone and did not return to their villages are welcome to return and continue their peaceful life.

According to him, many Tigrayans living in Welkait Tegede Setit Humera are currently leading a peaceful life, demonstrating that the Amhara and Tigray people have been living in harmony for centuries.

Ashete recalled that many people had remained in their localities during the war in the north while those who left in panic returned later to lead a peaceful life.

The Deputy Chief Administrator, Colonel Demeke Zewdu, said those displaced from the zone must return to their localities.

I think it is impossible to create peace by displacing one community and settling another, he underscored.

Colonel Demeke called for unwavering commitment from all sides to ensure that the issue of the displaced is resolved peacefully.

Recall that the federal government has been carrying out series of activities to facilitate the return of displaced people to their respective villages.
