Getachew Reda Hints at Medical Stay in Brussels During Witty Social Media Exchange with Ambassador Redwan Hussien
Mekelle- A humorous Facebook interaction between Ambassador Redwan Hussien and Getachew Reda has inadvertently shed light on Getachew’s health status, with the official hinting that he is currently in Brussels, Belgium, for medical reasons.
The exchange began when Ambassador Redwan Hussien posted a clarification to debunk “sick” rumors about himself. He explained that a domestic accident involving a falling wooden partition wall had caused a head injury, requiring stitches and a shaved head. Redwan emphasized that he was treated locally at Amin Hospital and had not left the country, jokingly “punching back” at those spreading misinformation about his condition.
In a playful and self-deprecating reply, Getachew Reda teased the Ambassador by suggesting that rumor-mongers were tracking them both. “I was actually looking for you in a Brussels hospital in Belgium, hearing that you were bedridden there like me!” Getachew commented.
The remark appears to be a lighthearted confirmation of Getachew’s own situation. For several weeks, speculation has persisted that Getachew has been unwell and seeking treatment in Europe. By joking that he was “looking for” Redwan in a Belgian hospital “like me,” Getachew seemed to acknowledge his own medical stay while mocking the sensationalized reports that frequently follow high-profile Ethiopian figures.
Getachew Reda, a lead negotiator of the Pretoria Peace Agreement, has remained a central political figure despite 2025’s administrative changes in Tigray. This latest interaction with Redwan Hussien, his former negotiating counterpart, demonstrates a continued rapport between the two men, even as they navigate public scrutiny regarding their health and locations.
While Ambassador Redwan’s “sick” rumors were revealed to be a simple domestic accident, Getachew’s comment remains the strongest indication to date that he is indeed in Belgium for medical attention. No formal statement has been released regarding the specifics of his health.
