A post claims that a clip shows evidence of Gedu Andargachew, a former president of Ethiopia’s Amhara region, handing over disputed land to the neighbouring Tigray region. This is false; the video has been digitally manipulated by splicing together clips from different interviews. There is also no mention by Gedu of ceding the disputed land to Tigray.
A Facebook Reel shared more than 130 times and published in Amharic on August 21, 2023 claims to offer “proof that shows when Gedu gladly signed and handed over Welkait to Tigray”.
