It is just like Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali and his comrades doesn’t want to be responsible for their own actions. We know they project all evil at the Tigrayan population and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). That’s what they do and what they need to do justify the continued warfare in Tigray and beyond.
The state did yesterday “call to arms” and all eligible citizens to fight this war. The Office of the Prime Minister released a statement saying so. So, that the current day civilians can continue the heroic past of the predecessor and get rid of TPLF, once and for all. Which is resounding alike the Amhara Regional State and their leadership. There is no difference in the rhetoric or methodology between them.
The Ethiopian Current Issues – Fact Check Agency or whatever it is. Can have their voice and opinion. However, it is their own statement saying so. It wasn’t the foreign press that made up the headlines and stories about Ethiopia. No, the OPM and his allies made it all up by themselves and published it for the whole world to see.
This wasn’t like a secret memo, letter or talk between two trusted friends. It wasn’t a leaked cable or a call. No, this was a Press Release and what it directly stated, which the foreign press and outlets described to the people.
Maybe Abiy felt it backfired. As his wordings and the rhetoric, shines of desperation and hopelessness. Since this war has hit a nerve and the Tigray Defence Force (TDF) is winning ground. The TDF and its allies showing strength and restraint. While evidence and witnesses is telling media of what horrific tales the Tripartite Alliance has done over the recent months. Which the Fact Checking Agency and the State calls “fake” and “false”. While we are supposed to eat of their hands and swallow their lies.
Well, the truth is already out. A government that has lied about everything. Even has to fact-check it’s own press release. That says a lot about the mismanaged and a bummer of a war. Where people are dying of a man-made famine and weaponizing aid. Where the state has targeted one group and justify the atrocities in Tigray. They are even trying to pin other actions made by the state army and regional special forces on the TDF. That is what the state does. Therefore, the idea that the foreign press is supposed to write puff-pieces is insane.
The press release yesterday speaks of itself and it cannot be changed. They maybe not like the sentiment and how the International media interpret it. However, they cannot be mind-readers and expect people to follow the same paradigm and understanding as the one who published it. That is just being narrow-minded and very very foolish. Just like expect some to go haywire of this text and others to applause it. Because, that’s the world we live in and the OPM and the Fact Check Agency has to understand this too.
“Now is the right time for all capable Ethiopians who are of age to join the Defence Force, Special Forces and militias and show your patriotism” (OPM, 10.08.2021). How else are the world supposed to understand this message? Are the youths and all civilians not called up? “All capable” is a broad statement and implies everyone who is over 18 and able to conscript either to the ENDF, Special Forces or a militia. That says it all…
What else did the PM and Prosperity Party think when they did this call and war-cry? Did they expect salutes and hallow speeches? That is how it looks like… when the Fact Checking Agency has issues with the headlines of the international press. Maybe, the OPM and the PP should have worded it differently, if they meant something else.
They need to get other codes and other phrases if they want it to mean something else. However, they just want to interpreted as a plea for war and more soldiers. Since they want to look peaceful and supreme. However, that is so far from the truth. We all know that the ENDF and everyone on the PM side is losing ground. That’s why he is seeking whatever he can get with a pulse. In a hope to turn around and finally gain ground again. Nevertheless, at this very moment… that seems hopeless. Just like the whole “Operation Law Enforcement” have become.
The PM cannot run, he cannot hide and the truth of his war-crimes and his allies massacres are out. The blood is on his hands, the victims and executions are done on his orders and he cannot rewrite that. The deaths and destruction will not be a triumphant way to victory. Alas, it is a road to more murder and devastation. It seems like the PM never leans and burns more bridges as the days goes by.
He should have sound advice and people who can guide him ahead. However, we all know that he has dropped those and only has “yes-men” and empty suits around him. He is surrounded by extremist and apologists for the bloodshed and the genocidal war. That’s why we are here and he cannot handle the bad press. Peace.
