Tchad: Ordre des Avocats du Tchad – Communique de Presse 001 (22.04.2021)



“We must make it clear that the Tigray people are either not Ethiopians or we must save them from the foreign invaders. If we want Ethiopia to continue to exist as a nation, we must stop the looting, killing, rape, and abuse perpetrated by Isaiah’s forces against the people of Tigray” (…) “If we remain silent whilst this scale of abuse is happening before our necked eyes; then, it means that the Tigray people are not Ethiopians and the Tigray region is not part of Ethiopia. He further said our silence on what is happening in that region will be an unprecedented historical mistake” – Lidetu Ayalew, the former President of Coalition for Unity and Democracy (CUD) Party
The CUD leader Ayalew because of this uttering was charged with terrorism,, unlawfully change the constitutional order or overthrow of the government. This offence could easily by sentencing get the politician behind bars for 15 years.
The Deputy Director for the Federal Criminal Investigation Bureau Assefa Atnkut have now written a letter barring him for leaving Ethiopia for treatment and medication abroad. This after the charges have been put on him. The state is clearly punishing him for uttering those words in a interview.
That clearly was to much for the authorities and the Operation Law Enforcement. A man was not supposed to say these words or dare to question the Tripartite Alliance operating in Tigray. That Ayalew did this is now a criminal offence. He has already been behind bars for it.
Now, the state is barring him from leaving the Republic and getting medical treatment. That is the sort of progress the Prosperity Party is delivering it’s dissidents. Such a reforming spirit of Abiy and his comrades. That he doesn’t have the heart for dissent or make it possible for them to get treatment abroad.
That is the sort of state of affairs Addis Ababa wants the world to know of and be the epitome of governance. The ones at the wheel in Finfinne clearly doesn’t care about the opposition. They only wants them gone or behind bars. That is why Ayalew got into trouble anyway. Because, he dared to speak ill of this regime and their actions in Tigray. Peace.

There are now credible reports two of the leaders of SAWET Party or the Salsay Weyane Tigray Party been arrested and detained at unknown location. This party has together with other Tigray parties come out with statements undressing the actions of the in the Tigray Region. They are one of the member parties of the Tigray National Political Parties Forum. Who has been important to release credible news and state the affairs of the state. Which the Federal Government don’t want to have out or deliberately hiding from the world public.
That is why its tragic news to hear that Salsay Weyane Tigray’s Deputy Chairman Alula Hailu and Deputy Head of Finance Kahsay Hailu were taken by Ethiopian soldiers to an undisclosed location in Tigray’s capital, Mekelle.
This news is really tragic, but nothing new in Ethiopia. There are so many political prisoners kept across the Republic. That these is just one a big pool or a giant crowds of opposition leaders behind bars. That is modus operandi at this point.
It wouldn’t be shocking if the leaders of Baytone or TIP would be next from the Tigray National Political Parties Forum. Because, the state is deliberately going after its dissidents. They are clearly planning to go after and finding them. One by one and finding any excuse to arrest, detain or charge them. With no proper cause, but as a warning to anyone opposing the regime.
This is just one more case of injustice and impunity by the rulers of Addis Ababa. The Prosperity Party wants to be remembered this way. That is their fate apparently. Peace.



“We are committed to holding a free, fair, democratic & peaceful 6th National Election. Our follow up meeting today with regions & NEBE evaluated progress made since the last meeting in which direction was set to enable remaining stations to be opened & address pending matters. Elections are a demonstration of building a democratic culture in which differences are addressed through the ballot and not by the bullet. Through the voting process, citizens exercise agency and actively participate in the building of a democratic process” – Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali (22.04.2021).
The Prime Minister must take people for fools. He must think people are buffoons and drunk on the regular. Because, these statements is weird coming from him. Talking about free, fair, democratic and peaceful elections. It seems like his delusion have overpowered him or he thinks he can play this facade out without anyone calling him out.
The Prime Minister really trying to be the wolf in sheep’s clothing. The Prince of Peace is already barenaked. The PM is already waging war in his own domain. The PM is already having several of other conflicts and unleashing his armies on the people. So, promising peaceful elections in the middle of all this conflicts is insincere at best.
Abiy must think people are stupid, as the NEBE has deregistered over 50 parties. Other ones have most of their leaders and leadership behind bars. If not they are barred from standing or ability to run a campaign. The like of Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) have had trouble just holding meetings to set forward candidates within the Somali Region. Not to talk about the in-general political captives of the Oromo leadership and candidates. Where most of the OLF and other parties are behind bars. There is no way in this current time there will be fair or free elections. When your competition is either deregistered, detained or dead. That is what Abiy have achieved before the ballot is even cast.
That is why the PM must think people are really stupid. He must think the world in general is dense. That they either neither take his seriously or his just a useful false messiah for some. Because, his not a man you can trust or can see as a viable candidate. Unless, he has put shackles on everyone else or if not ensured their demise. Since it is not like he is delivering peace or fairness into the equation. The only one believing it is eating of the hand of propagandists and token Yes-Men who is serving the PM.
The PM can act like everything is fine and dandy. However, the reality is that its a sham. There will be no election, but another selection of predetermined results in favour of the PM. He will have control of the House of Federation and be the PM with a valid term. His lies and deceit is now all in the open.
He can act like this and say these words. Nevertheless, it doesn’t make it true. Even if all of his cronies and Prosperity Party associates say so. The truth is that his core opposition and leaders on the outside of the previous EPRDF is behind bars. The Prosperity Party will practically run a “one-party” election with a few hand-picked opposition parties. Who is not feared by anyone or is causing any alarm to ego of the Prime Minister. The PM will be safeguarded and just go on a friendly journey to the end. This election will not be free, fair or peaceful. Especially, when there is serious destruction and dismantling of society in the midst of the Federal Republic.
The PM cannot sell this story and make it believable. Only the naive and dense will buy into it. The ones who doesn’t the see the pain and suffering. The ones who doesn’t get the tyranny and despotic manner, which this man rules. No matter of publicity stunt and fine printed statement. Can overshadow the darkness and grim picture that is occurring as we speak. As long Jawar, Garba, Nega and alike is behind bars. This election is a fraud and a fake.
The PM cannot even be brave enough to have true opposition. His such a coward to keep them in prison as political prisoners. They are captive because of his ego and lack of character. If he was a man of his words. They would have been on the ballot and his reformist agenda would have made favours with the general public. However, that is seemingly just a smokescreen and not his true self.
The PM will now run a rigged and predetermined poll. Where we all knows the result and he cannot loose. That is by default… and this is why you shouldn’t be fooled. It is all a lie and the false prophet promise heaven, but given plenty of his citizens a living hell. Peace.
