“I was taken to the office with other young men. My parents found a way to get me released by paying 20,000 [Ethiopian] birr ($123) in cash.”

After he was released, Gebru left Tigray for Addis Ababa.

“My parents were afraid that if I stayed, I would be taken again. They told me to leave Tigray and save myself.”

Gebru is among young men who say they are leaving Tigray because they fear being forcibly recruited to fight as political and military tensions rise in the northern Ethiopian region.
