Ethiopia: Statement from the Alliance of Tigrayans for National Redemption (ATNR) – Urgent Call for Address the Unlawful Power Grab and Regional Destabilization in Tigray (12.03.2025)






The rebel and former prisoner of ICC, Thomas Lubanga has returned with support of Kampala to make his own proxy militia and rebel group to liberate the Ituri region of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Convention pour la libération populaire (CRP) is created and manifested in Kampala, as all documents suggested. Meaning this in coordination and vouched for by the government of Uganda. As they are seeing it as a viable enterprise.
Now the former militia leader who was charged and sentenced for the usage of child soldiers in the DRC in 2002-2003 is returning to the nation. Now with a new recalibrated outfit and with outside support, as his allowed and acts as a proxy. That isn’t even clever, but it shows the activity and the will of Kampala to interfere in the DRC.
The UPDF is claiming to fight the ADF, but now they are visibly supporting another rebellion in the DRC. That is compelling and with a usage of a man who has such a record to do it to.
This CRP brings together 7 armed groups for one mission and that’s to “liberate Ituri”. We all know what means and this is a travesty. This is taking the region and the resources as spoils of war. That’s what this is all about. It is investing in militias to ensure the power and the guns to bring the valuables across the border to Uganda. That’s all that matters.
This is the gist and this is tragic. We are seeing another formation to destroy, deplete and to take from the DRC. Kinshasa should be watching as there is betrayals and there are proxies that are lurking. Now another one is formed, and the outsiders are jolly of their easy spoils. Peace.


The National Resistance Movement (NRM) used all tricks of the trade on the final days of campaign. As the acknowledgement of what is happening to the National Unity Platform (NUP).
We know the NRM acts like it is all sealed and they are winning in the Kawempe North By-Election on the 13th March 2025 polls. This is after the campaign of the NRM of Faridah Nambi has gone on full steam. Meanwhile, we see how the authorities, the police force and JAT are acting towards the opposition.
We know the pictures of the rally at Mbogo Muslim Primary School Grounds will look supreme. Nevertheless, the NRM has no trouble using the force or power to silence the others. Alas, we can see that, and this is just to common occurrence.
The NUP was blocked from holding their rally. The vehicle of their candidate crashed into, and he was arrested after that. The Police Force went in full swing and stopped the NUP from ending the campaign in fanfare. That was only for the NRM to do.
This just shows how the “playing field” and the NRM acts towards their biggest rivals. As the NUP is in a headache, but the NRM pays several of musicians to warm up the stage for their candidate. The President cannot have a smaller rally or be humiliated by the NUP. That’s why this all went down.
We have seen in previous elections with President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni holding rallies in the same towns and counties with Besigye. The Besigye rallies was blocked and sealed off. Now the same happened in the Kawempe North By-Election. This is a pattern, and they did this deliberately.
Bebe Cool and Minister Balaam cannot save the day. We know they will preach the message of the state. They will entertain for His Excellency, but this doesn’t make this truer. As we saw for what it is.
The ones not getting the gist. The NUP was blocked, because the President himself held a final rally for his candidate. That’s why NUP was brutally blocked and silenced ahead of their rally. They got different reports and communicated with the Police and Electoral Commission to hold it, but it didn’t matter.
President Museveni and NRM can act like it is all gold. They can act like it is all great, but we know the drill. This is just what it is. The ones believing in the lies and deception of the NRM. This sort of act is getting old.
We know why the NUP was treated so bad today. It is all because of His Excellency and his ego. The dictator had to show his power and greatness, but his ego is so vain that it must make other people suffer. Peace.
