Ethiopia: Statement on HR6600 from One Amhara, Amhara Youth Association and Amhara Youth Association (25.03.2022)



This is really repetitive and not going anywhere. As yesterday’s late release of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia release of the “Humanitarian Truce” without seemingly have had any dialogue or contact with the stakeholders. This is making agreements and a truce without talking to the parties involved. Only having the state working on it’s own without recognizing the other party.
We know the bureaucracy of the FDRE has made it impossible together with allies on the border regions of Tigray. These has blocked, looted and ensured that no humanitarian aid has entered. If not just drops of the vast sea of needs, which is part of the war that Tripartite Alliance has prolonged against the Tigray.
For me this is reminding the time that FDRE said they announced a ceasefire in late July 2021 after continues war since November 2020. The regional government of Tigray asked for similar in the December 2021, but then the FDRE and it’s allies wouldn’t comply to it. Now in the end of March 2022 they are announcing a Humanitarian Truce. Which haven’t been made or with direct talks between Mekelle and Addis Ababa.
Prosperity Party have not reached out to the parties in Tigray Region, Amhara Region or in Afar Region for that matter. They have only decided to do this… because there is a law and possible sanctions on the horizon from the United States. The FDRE is trying to manufacture or ensure positive publicity.
While the state haven’t opened up the utilities like water, electricity or phone-lines. Neither is any of the other bureaucratic hurdles been opened up. Unless, they have suddenly ceased their mission of oversight and needed to sign of humanitarian convoys. Which has been an issue through the whole war.
On schedule the African Union statement said this: “The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, His Excellency, Moussa Faki Mahamat welcomes the Declaration of an indefinite Humanitarian Truce by the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia in an effort to expedite the provision of much needed humanitarian aid to people in need in the Tigray region. The Chairperson further welcomes the announcement by the Regional Government of Tigray committing to observe the said humanitarian truce, and also welcomes its declaration of an immediate cessation of hostilities” (AU, 25.03.2022).
I am pretty sure something similar was written last year. The Tigray Regional Government had some stipulations, which time will tell if the FDRE will comply. Since they have worked with a mission of annihilation and total destruction of that region. That seems to be the goal of the “Operation Law Enforcement” and the “Survival Campaign”. However, they might say otherwise, but both statements and visions of high ranking official has said similar things.
That’s why the FDRE has to do more than statements and actually talk with the stakeholders. Which is something that will humiliate and also show grace. As that is the only way out… but we have seen how the Dialogue have been done and that isn’t promising. It is only a ploy and a nice title like the Ministry of Peace, which has only been used to boost the war-effort. Therefore, the FDRE and their ministries has a job to do. The stakeholders has to be connected and build trust.
If not… this truce is as worthless as the ceasefire of last year. Which was only made to re-group and try with new offensives against the Tigray. Peace.









The majority and ruling party Prosperity Party have on their verified Facebook page reported directly from the National Movement of Amhara (NaMA) Central Committee meeting, which will be a two-day meeting.
What is striking about this. The need to do this shows how NaMA is embedded in the Prosperity Party. It is a part of it and a direct ally. It isn’t an independent body or can be seen as such. Heck, their own verified page haven’t a new post since 4th March 2022, but Prosperity Party dropped the news about NaMA just mere 4 hours ago. That says something and no one should be shocked.
There is a reason why NaMA is so close, they are the pulse of the Amhara and the allies of the “Survival Campaign” and the genocidal war in Tigray region. They are defending and wants the Federal Government to continue it’s warfare in Tigray region. Surely, they will say the humanitarian assistance blockade isn’t enough. The man-made famine and starvation isn’t enough for them. That is the sort of nationalists and extremists, which are lingering in NaMA. That is the loyal allies of the Prime Minister and the “unifying” Prosperity Party.
That’s why Prosperity Party wrote this about the plans of NaMA:
“As Mr Tahir said, it will be widely examined how NaMA’s role was in destroying the war in the country. It has been said that it will also be discussed on the issues that should be held in the future by evaluating the situation where the survival campaign was led. Regarding the comprehensive and inclusive national understanding, He said it will also address issues that could benefit the people of Amhara in particular” (Prosperity Party – ‘NaMA is holding the Central Committee meeting in Bahir Dar’, 18.03.2022).
If you didn’t believe me that they wrote about making plans for the next 5 years… here is the translation of the text:
“The central committee is expected to discuss and approve the organization’s strategic direction for the next five years” (Prosperity Party -‘NaMA is holding the Central Committee meeting in Bahir Dar’, 18.03.2022).
If you ever wondered about the loyalty or the close connections between the parties. What happened today cements it. Yes, NaMA has a minister in Abiy’s cabinet and is clearly in the ear of the PM. If the PP didn’t care or see any value. They wouldn’t have reported about it and used their platform to tell what NaMA plans to do the next two days. It shows they are promoting and spreading the news about the party.
It shows that there is a possible marriage of convenience between these parties. As the PP see it in their interests to address it and tell what is happening in the Central Committee of the NaMA party. That is really special and shows how the PP acts now.
I never thought this was possible… but here we are. Peace.
