"Basaza bacu na bashiki bacu b'Abanyafurika bagira uruhare runini iyaba botsaga igitutu TPLF ngo imanike amaboko kandi kuri ibyo, murabizi, nta n'umwe byasaba kujya muri Tigray cyangwa i Mekelle kugira ngo ibyo abibumvishe neza". Bwana Mamo yavuze ko abahoze ari ba Perezida wa Mozambique, Liberia n'Afurika y'epfo - biteganyijwe ko bagera muri Ethiopia mu minsi iri imbere - batazashobora gusura Tigray kubera ibikorwa bya gisirikare bikomeje. Itumanaho n'uburyo bwo gutwara abantu n'ibintu byagizweho ingaruka zikomeye kuva iyi mirwano yatangira. Bwana Mamo yavuze ko leta irimo gukora ibyo "ishoboye byose" kugira ngo amashami ya ONU ashobore kugeza imfashanyo ku bantu bo muri Tigray. Imirwano ishingiye kuki?
