RDC: Communique Conjoint du 15 Mai 2023 (15.05.2023)





“Large-scale conspiracies were hatched to derail the change from the very beginning, and attacks were carried out to undermine the change and discourage the leadership of the change. Slander campaigns have been launched. The lives of rare leaders and citizens have been taken. Millions of innocent citizens have been displaced from their homes. A war broke out and claimed many lives. It has cost the country and the people a lot. The origin of these crimes stems from the desire to impose the narrow interests of one group on the other, instead of resolving differences peacefully and verbally” (FDRE Government Communication Services – ‘Attempting to achieve political will through violence and chaos is like grasping the gum’ 14.05.2023).
It is so striking read this text from the FDRE Government Communication Services. The national broadcast of message and outlet for direct information from the Federal Government. This is the unit that has informed and been the “vital” source for many. Especially, if you followed the War in Tigray Region and how the FDRE looked at the circumstances. The FDRE Government Communication Services was instrumental and the voice of the regime.
That’s why reading today’s text, knowing how the Prosperity Party moves. It is just compelling. Now the Amhara Nationalists, the “Fano” and the militants who partake in the conflict. The ones who armed themselves and fought in the FDRE war in Tigray. They are now getting the same treatment as the Tigray Defence Force (TDF). The ones who are siding with the Amhara and the ideal of regional state of Amhara. They are clearly in the firing line of the FDRE. Secondly, the Amhara Regional Special Forces Members are also in deep trouble together with the paramilitary men in Fano.
Just read this here…
“However, as Ethiopia has entered the process of peaceful transfer of power, there is no hole or power that has not been harmed by the groups that have not been able to win the elections with the superiority of ideas and the desperate groups swearing by ethnic and neighborhood identity to suppress extremist thinking and forcefully bring the government to its knees. In various areas of our country, organized groups with extremist ideas have moved to threaten public peace and security. When these evil forces happen, in the protection of the nation’s rights; At other times, if they act in the name of religious rights; Their aim is to control the power of the government by force, which they could not control by competing with ideas. The way they have designed as a strategy for their evil purpose is to paint one nation as a villain and another as a villain, and by creating a sense of doubt, conflict and mistrust among the people, by eroding our common values. It was observed that apart from the disgraceful actions they are carrying out in practice, they are spreading hateful propaganda that is disgraceful and does not fit the culture, values and ethics of Ethiopians” (FDRE Government Communication Services – ‘Attempting to achieve political will through violence and chaos is like grasping the gum’ 14.05.2023).
We have heard this before from the PP and it’s allies, but not described towards former allies in Amhara. The plot has changed and the Amhara ones who won’t change their stripes or be part of a new ENDF. They are now “evil”… we have heard this before and now it’s turning the other cheek. The leaders who stood by and fought in the war. These has been galvanized by similar text describing Tigrayan people, the region of Tigray and the TPLF. Now the PP and the FDRE is producing the same content, but it is done to make them the “illegal” and “criminal”. The coin has flipped and Amhara is losing. That is obvious…
“More than ever, the government should realize that it is impossible to ensure any need or benefit by imposing one’s own evil interests on others by applying force and force to ensure unity, justice and equality by implementing true democratic and national federalism. The government is making great efforts to solve the security problems in the country by strengthening the security structures and building a strong defense army. We has also strengthened the work we started to ensure the security and peace of our people by reorganizing the security agencies of the regions and building a strong national army” (FDRE Government Communication Services – ‘Attempting to achieve political will through violence and chaos is like grasping the gum’ 14.05.2023).
These narratives aren’t new or original. No, this has been done before with the use of “law and “constitution” to bring down on political power and their ambitions. Abiy and PP is using the same means here to destroy, deplete and annihilate a possible threat. The PP has seen the Amhara grown so strong and powerful because of the war. That they had to clip it’s wings.
Now, they are doing so and legitimizing it in the same manner as it did to Tigray. The plot hasn’t really changed, but region has… it is the same deal, but a new victim. The only difference is that Amhara took part and bashed in destroying the Tigray. Now they are having the same fate and they surely didn’t see it coming. Peace.







Yesterday morning, Friday, May 12, 2023, armed militias launched an attack on the city of El Geneina in the state of West Darfur, which included many neighborhoods, in which various types of weapons were used, which led to many civilian casualties, whose numbers could not be counted due to the complex security conditions, as the conflicts continued. Recently, at an accelerating pace in the state, in light of the complete absence of all state agencies, the armed forces, the Rapid Support Forces, and the police, which made citizens have the option of arming themselves to defend themselves, and all basic services, including health and services, such as water sources, were absent.
We in the Sudanese Congress Party have mercy on the souls of the victims and send prayers for recovery to the wounded, and we see that what is happening in the city of El Geneina and other cities and villages of Sudan in terms of a wide spread of various crimes, looting and terrorizing defenseless civilians, we see that it is a direct outcome of the April 15, 2023 war, taking into account the privacy of the history Armed conflicts of a tribal nature in the states of Darfur and the proliferation of weapons outside legal frameworks, however, the state of security liquidity and the fragility of the situation in most parts of the country is a real threat to its unity, with the emergence of clear signs of slipping into a comprehensive civil war, which requires activating the provisions of the agreement of principles signed yesterday. In the city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, between the armed forces and the Rapid Support Forces immediately to protect civilians, monitor the implementation of its provisions, and continue local, regional and international efforts to push the negotiation process forward to reach a permanent ceasefire, and to address the causes of war through peaceful solutions according to a political process, through which the path of transformation is restored. Democratic civil.
Our people lived safe, free and victorious

Today, the recent tally in the hands of security, law enforcement and people in uniform has run up to five in 11 days. After another incident involving a security officer with a gun killing a colleague. That is happening within mere days of the assassination of the Minister. Therefore, the National Resistance Movement and their choices in ways of governing is coming back to bite.
The NRM has entangled itself a massive haul of guns. A nation filled with “hired” guns and with private security companies. Also in additional police and army units, which are mostly armed as well. If you didn’t that was enough… just earlier this month there was reports that 114,000 guns are unregistered. Meaning there is a lot of arms about without any sort of trace or ability to quickly find in the government registry. Which is giving leeway to armed and vicious people…
We know the NRM has a lot of blood on its hands. There have been like every year in its existence some sort of “mysterious death”. Where people has died in mysterious circumstances or has vanished. If not they have been bloody murdered, but no one can find the culprit or the ones behind the killing. Therefore, this isn’t new…
What is new is that Police Officers are killing civilians on tape. What is new is seeing and hearing security officers on the run after a shooting incident. What is new is hearing VIP Security Officers killing the one they are looking after. Because, in the past it’s been secret details or “hoodlums” who has passed by and done the deed. Before going into thin-air and no one finding out who did it or why…
Now… there is reasons for this. The NRM are stingy with it pockets. The Law Enforcement, Soldiers and Security are badly paid. Their stomachs are possibly growling. They are not living large or well. The men are armed and have bullets, but they don’t have sufficient pay or allowances. While the people they are looking after and ensuring the safety of … is easily bashing in wealth.
The Government have to handle this one. They are endangering society now. The ordinary day-to-day life. The livelihoods and daily operations is at stake if this continues. The men with arms cannot be hungry, distressed or concerned. That’s why they are pulling the triggers and causing even more suffering. They have no other way to go and the only thing they know is to pull the trigger. That isn’t solving anything, but at least they get of some “steam”. When doing so they are killing a third or an innocent party… who isn’t the reason for their troubles. The trouble comes from the “high above” and in the chain of command.
The NRM has used guns, the President is living by the gun and now his people is dying by it too. It isn’t just one rare incident. No, this is a systemic one now. It isn’t only stolen gun or one basket-case of an individual. No, this is a sign and should make people worried. Five people have now died as cause of this. That is a pattern…
The only thing NRM could thump up its chest about was “safety” and “peace”. Now the way and the NRM Way is hurting itself. The idea that guns can solve everything is biting back hard. The thought that the more guns, the more you are safe is wrong. Especially, if the ones holding the arms are hungry or at a state of mind… that this is the last resort. The gunman, the man of arms who are employed or part of a security organisation has to be taken care of. If his not… his a danger to society and can easily pop-off. He got training and knows how to aim. That’s his job and his duty. So, if has trouble and got no other avenue to rectify his troubles. He will go to the gun and follow the example of His Excellency.
That’s why it’s tragic. These people haven’t seen another way out. The sought this way, because of desperation and need. They were cornered and went to their “safe-have” – the gun.
Now… in 2023 the NRM got a gun problem. Not only the 114,000 unregistered ones. They got a massive undertaking of their whole security apparatus and how these things are organized. Because, they got to take better care of the law enforcement, soldiers and in general security personnel. If they don’t… we will see more incidents, more murder and more suffering.
The NRM has a choice now. They can either try to act upon the issue or hope people forget. However, the ones with the guns will not forget and they easily access weapons. That’s why this is a dangerous game to play. Sooner or later the bullets are flying. Sooner or later the blood is running and life is lost. That could have been avoided, but will NRM do anything about it?
It goes against the militarism of society, politics and everything NRM touches. Arms has been the go-to choice of remedy. We just have to see if the NRM can find another way. I doubt it… Peace.


“NEBE has refused to reinstate TPLF as a political party, citing the absence of a legal framework for outlawed parties. The Tigray Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF) was banned by the board for engaging in violence against the federal government. Even though TPLF claims to have resolved the issue through a peace deal in Pretoria, the board denies its reinstatement mentioning that it will consider TPLF’s request for reinstatement if the party follows the procedures outlined in the Political Parties Code of Conduct” (Addis Zeybe, 13.05.2023).
The prolonged agony and conflict in Tigray isn’t over. Even if there are a Cessation of Hostilities Agreement in place. Parts of the Tigray region is still occupied by Eritrean and Amhara Para-Military Group “Fano” which are undermining the efforts for peace. Alas, in the mix of all this…
The political gambit and the reasoning for deregistering the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) is still active. Amidst the war the Authorities and the State did announce the TPLF as a terrorist organization, which affected the status of the party and also took away it’s credibility as a part of the nation. The rulers in Addis and their allies effectively dethroned and detached the TPLF from “society”. In such a manner, that it hasn’t gotten legitimized since…
The Pretoria Agreement has helped and the TPLF is running an Interim Regional Administration (IRA) with a new cabinet. However, NEBE is clearly not buying it and not allowing it. We know the deregistering and the labelling of “terrorist” organization was only done to suit the Federal Government and their warpath.
Now those choices done in the House of Federation and within the Authorities are hard to rectify. Certainly, the Office of the Prime Minister could have directed or given reasons to change it. Nevertheless, that isn’t concerning him directly and that’s why he maybe is so reckless.
This is just showing how the Prosperity Party moves and how it takes control. They are fighting tooth and nails to survive a war. After accepting a peace-deal, the authorities are not playing along, but showing resistance to change. Instead of showing goodwill… it is showing defiance.
Seriously, this is just showing how far things are from Mekelle to Addis Ababa. It shows how the authorities are acting high and mighty. When the parties have engaged and are in dialogue. The one party is still acting supreme and humiliating the other. The TPLF risked being mocked and ridiculed. Now it is happening…
The NEBE is doing the service of the PP. This is a way of PP showing who has the power and the TPLF just have to oblige. That is it… Peace.
