Rebels destroy EPRDF-owned cotton truck

WORETA, Northern Ethiopia – Rebels on March 28 burned down a ruling party truck that was parked at the town’s bus terminal. Rebels of the Ethiopian Unity and Freedom Force (EUFF) set the truck that was loaded with tons of cotton on fire in this town that serves as a key distribution center for major cities like Gondar, Bahr Dar and Woldiya.

The truck was ferrying the cotton to Bahr Dar city, a rebel spokesperson told Ethiomedia by phone on Thursday.

Earlier this month, the rebels also burned down 22 cotton and sesame stores in Qucheet, a small transit town between Shehadee and Metema on the border with Sudan.
All the stores were owned by security members of the ruling party EPRDF, EUFF said.
