Ethiopian general in jail, according to his wife

The wife of a renowned Ethiopian war commander who went missing in the capital, Addis Ababa, earlier this week says she has established he is being held in a northern location.

Brigadier General Tefera Mamo was the previous commander of the Amhara Special Forces, which support the federal army in its struggle against Tigrayan insurgents.

After being fired from his job in February, he became a vocal critic of the government.

His wife, Menen Haile, informed the BBC that she had confirmed the general's incarceration in Bahir Dar, the Amhara region's capital.

However, many things remain unanswered, including how he was carried there and the accusations leveled against him.

The BBC's attempts to contact the security office and police in the region were unsuccessful.

Yilkal Kefale, the president of the Amhara region, revealed that some individuals were being detained in efforts to impose law and order in a rare press announcement on Wednesday.

He stated that those found not guilty of criminal activity would be released soon.
