エチオピア：Tigray crisis：TPLFがだいぶ進撃したようで

　一体君たちはどうなっているのだ。先日まで元気に空爆していたでしょうに。いや空爆だけで抑え込めはしないのは常識的ではあれ、いくらなんでもそうまで空域のコントロールができてて、なんで首都をうかがう、なんて位置まで進出されてるんです。

BBC Abiy urges all-weapons fight against Tigray rebel advance 1 Nov 2021

　なんで首相御自ら「彼らを押しとどめるのは市民としての義務だ」とか言ってるんです。

「Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, has urged his supporters to use any weapons they have to stop an advance by Tigrayan rebel forces.

Mr Abiy said it was the duty of citizens to, "block, destroy and bury" the forces of the TPLF rebels.」

「A TPLF spokesman, Getachew Reda, said they had captured Kombolcha city and that their only aim was to break a siege of Tigray.

The Ethiopian government has denied assertions by the TPLF rebels that they've seized Kombolcha and nearby Dessie in the Amhara region.」

　TigrayどころかAmharaまで進出―というのはいいとして、325kmほど進めば首都アディスアベバ。そんな一にまで。いえまあ、言うのは簡単ですが、どうだろう、北海道の反乱軍が宮城県まで進出したとか、そんな感じだろうか。

「It came as a spokesman of the rebel Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) also said they had taken Kemise city - about 50km (33 miles) from Kombolcha and 325km from Addis Ababa - and were fighting with government forces.」

　メリケンさんは、ええ加減止めてくれないと、人道危機が続くばかり、といったところなのですが、と抑制をと求める声明。

　短報だけでなく、正規のいちまいの頁を付与される程度の大問題らしく。

BBC Ethiopia's Tigray crisis: PM Abiy calls on citizens to take up arms against rebels 1 Nov 2021

「Ethiopia's Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed, has appealed to citizens to take up arms to block advancing rebel fighters.

He made the call on Facebook after the rebels, from the northern Tigray state, reportedly seized control of more towns in neighbouring Amhara.

The US has called for a ceasefire in a year-long conflict that has created a humanitarian crisis.

The Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) says its aim is to break a siege of the northern region.」

「His comments coincided with the rebels reportedly capturing the strategic towns of Dessie and Kombolcha in Amhara state, just over 300km (186 miles) north of the capital, Addis Ababa.」

　…300km地点まで進出されれば、まあ…厳しいコメントも出ようというものか。
