Having expressed satisfaction with ongoing reforms championed by the prime minister Abiy Ahmed, Tsege and other PG7 leaders have decided to return home and pursue a peaceful democratic struggle.

Tsege, who is also a British citizen, has been married to British citizen Yemi, and they have three children together (Hilawit, Menabe, and Yilak).

The family currently live in London.

After years of campaigning with Yemi to free Andy today was a very unexpected JOY. Something 4 months ago we wouldn’t have dreamt possible. Congratulations Yemi and Andy. Sooo happy for you. pic.twitter.com/xMZnPGJR2W
