Ethiopia: Assimba Democratic Party (ADP) – Press Release (29.05.2024)

The invading Eritrean army is trying to distort the identity of citizens in Tigray region  in Irob, Gulemakhada, Zalanbesa, Egala and Badme districts by force.

But the facts are:

  1. It is the Eritrean army that broke the Algiers Treaty by re-invading Tigray.
  2. According to the agreement, there is no land reserved for Eritrea,
  3. The people of Tigray who live in the occupied territories do not want to be separated to Eritrea. Knowing these reasons, we strongly express that the international community should pressurize the invading Eritrean army to leave Tigray territories immediately.

Ethiopia: It’s the Ginbot 20 and total radio silence…

On May 28, 1991, the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) captured Addis Ababa, ending the 17-year Marxist rule of the Derg regime led by Mengistu Haile Mariam. This marked a significant turning point in Ethiopian history as the EPRDF, a coalition of rebel groups, led by Meles Zenawi, successfully overthrew the government. This event initiated the transition towards the establishment of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (FDRE) and paved the way for democratic reforms and economic restructuring” (Inside Africa, 28.05.2024).

Last year… the authorities, the state and the Prime Minister celebrated their own version of Ginbot 20, as they saluted the Ethiopian National Defence Forces (ENDF). This year in 2024… there is only foreign dignitaries and others who seems to remember this day.

It is like Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali who in the beginning of his reign celebrated and publicly stated the importance of the day. Nevertheless, with time going by… maybe he prefers the day to live in infamy. As it isn’t a celebration of his victory or the civil war he fought to consolidate power.

You know this day has lost it’s significance when there is no sign of it on the FANA Broadcasting Company’s front-page. It is like a long forgotten memory. Some even says the day is controversial now. As it was ushering in the previous government, which happens to be one that fostered and made it possible to have Prosperity Party to begin with.

He couldn’t have created his party and his government without the creation of the EPRDF, which is the foundation of his in many aspects. As a powerful Prime Minister he might not like this idea, but that is a fact.

It seems like Abiy needs his own day to bash in glory. The medemer terror that he has created. All the conflict in the republic and the never ending wars. Make the victories of the EPRDF overshadow the conquests of the current era. Maybe that’s why he wants to finish off all his own enemies before creating a day to celebrate his own victories on the battlefield. Because, he has not achieved what the predecessors did.

Well, he has created more conflict and gotten more enemies over the years. That’s what Abiy has been able to do. Making the nation more fragile and war-torn. Instead of building a strong foundation and trust between the regions of the state. Therefore, he struggles to get to grips and to stop the wars. The wars is what makes him tick and gives him power.

That’s maybe why he cannot stomach to celebrate Ginbot 20. It is a reminder of how he failed to continue the legacy and the strong government, which came in affect because of it. That’s what Abiy haven’t been able to do. Neither has he continued the rising development or getting trust from the financial markets. That is all dwindling as a consequence of the costly warfare that is destroying the nation.

Certainly the end of Derg should have been celebrated. Nevertheless, that is apparently in the best interests of the PM. If it was… he would be together with dignitaries and fellow associates making a rally and holding a grand ceremony with him as the centrepiece of attention. Therefore, we know this day isn’t important.

When the PM doesn’t issue a statement, doesn’t utter a word and the authorities and state media is serving radio silence. That’s when we know it is just another Tuesday. Peace.

Ethiopia: Abiy launches yet another “final war” against Fano…

Fanoism is putting the public’s honor and interests above one’s own honor and interests. “I will be respected and benefited only when the existence of my people is respected and their freedom is guaranteed.” You who cheat our people in the name of Fano, who are day people and night beasts, whether you have an agenda or not, small individuals who seem to be unknown for the time being, are more enemies than enemies, the day we finished our homework and returned to you, Ethiopia. The earth will not hide you, Ethiopia will take care of you, and our humane and compassionate behavior will change from you. Through you, we will teach the entire generation that banditry is a cursed act in Amhara land” (Amhara Fano Gonder, 27.05.2024).

In Addis Ababa, the desperation must be felt, as the Prosperity Party and the Ethiopian National Defence Forces (ENDF) isn’t capable of defeating the Amhara para-military group “Fano” which was it’s ally in the Tigray war. Therefore, the former allies and former weapon brothers are now combatants against the Federal Forces.

There is now reports of thousands of buses of new conscripts which are sent to the front-lines of Amhara region. They are where the Fano has taken more control and is able to takeover power from the state. This must be humiliating for Abiy and his allies, as the former Fano rebels and former Amhara Regional Special Forces are now fighting the Federal State. That’s really saying something…

Abiy and the Prosperity Party lost an ally with his ideals of consolidating power. That he needs to interfere and have a say everywhere. No matter where things are going or what he believes in. Abiy needs to have his orders and people have to obey his commands. That’s how he had a fallout with Amhara allies, which was part of the Tripartite Alliance attacking Tigray. They had planned it in advanced and now they getting the same treatment for defending their region.

Abiy is ordering the same big conflict, war and medemer terror on the Amhara region. He is ensuring the demise, destruction and total war in the region. This is happening with what is the supposed to be the fourth major offensive and final campaign against Fano. The Fano is able to stagnate and hurt the ENDF. This is why they have to send new soldiers, which will die on the orders of the PM.

Fano has been able to compete and combat the ENDF forces in the Amhara region for a year now. Since last year April it has fought and been able to sting the pride of the Federal Government. They have fought bravely for their nationalistic cause, but if it will succeed in the end is another matter. That is too early to say…

but the time and how the momentum is shaking the Federal Government, as they have to use recruits and new conscripts to participate in the conflict. That is a sign of weakness and lack of well trained personnel to fight their war. The years of conflict and internal conflict is now showing the human costs and not only the financial burden of doing so. The PP and Abiy has outspent the funds of the government and misused the wars for personal spoils. Therefore, the conflict in Amhara is a costly enterprise and must cause agony in the capital.

Abiy isn’t winning and the youth is dying for his cause. His a warlord whose not winning his wars. That’s what is happening and there will be lost generation as a result of these wars in Ethiopia. This has been in the name and in the spirt of Abiy. That’s who he is and what he stands for. Peace.

Burkina Faso: The Captain is giving himself another five years…

Since the coup d’etat on the 30th September 2022, Captain Ibrahim Traoré has ruled supreme in Burkina Faso. The man who has made himself legendary and created a lot of support for himself. A man who knows how to make the “Pan-African” elites giggle and hope for a better future.

However, yesterday after ruling the nation for two years without any certainty of ending the “transition” and “interim” government. The Captain is now signed off to rule another 5 years. He will ensure the longevity of 7 years. That’s how you cement your future and consolidate all power.

The Captain will have all the time and abilities to appoint his allies. He can fortify the government and ensure there is no moles or people who wants to undermine him. That’s why he gets so long time to calculate and build everything around him. We shouldn’t be shocked if there will be further postponements and “valid” reasons to not the junta government. As there is always a “crisis” and “insurgency” to use as en excuse to stay in office.

The Captain says his issued a new chapter of the nation. In some regards he has, but in others his just prolonging his reign. That’s maybe the purpose. He took power and doesn’t intend to give it over to a civilian leader. The captain doesn’t trust the civilian or the people ability to chose their leaders. That’s why they have to wait until he deems fit. This is a narrow path into dictatorship and a proclaimed tyranny. An emperor in the making…

We should be worried that he will be drunk on power, misuse office and start spending lavish of state reserve. Enrich himself and his fellow allies. As they see this as their time to eat. They will find all tricks of the books and suddenly plates of fancy food is coming their way. While the people are starving or have to enlist to ensure a future for tomorrow. Because, sooner or later, something got to give.

It is hard believing that the goodwill and that the achievements will be made. As the Captain has yet to prove it. In the region he and other junta government have become allies, but they haven’t institutionalized or revolutionized in such a fashion that there is hope for a civilian democratically elected government in their stead.

The Captain only prolongs his reign and isn’t giving signs of stepping down. Neither that he intents too or has the will to do so. Most likely is he in it until someone topples him or send him into exile. I don’t see it any other way now… that the Transition is getting another 5 years and within that time.

The Captain will find ways to have another term and rule the nation for a few more years. Peace.
