Ethiopia: Eritrean Bright Future Movement – Press Release (05.09.2022)






Unfortunately, inadvertently, or wittingly Ethiopia is in the process of self-destruction simply because its rulers are recklessly waging destructive war on own citizens by inviting foreign army to dehumanise and depersonalise the citizens. We have categorically denounced such brutal war on own citizens from its very onset. Therefore, in the face of a continued siege imposed on Tigray by Ethiopian government following Tigray’s invasion by allied forces involving foreign actors including the Eritrean Army, UAE’s, Turkey’s, Iran’s, and China’s drones strikes since November 04, 2020; over 90% of the Tigray’s over 6 million people are denied access to necessities such as food, banking, telecommunication, electricity, and the other basic services. Hospitals, factories, universities, religious institutions, and infrastructures were decimated due to the indicated war.
It is now close to 2 years since such tragic incidents unfolded to leave citizens fighting for their mere survival. Therefore, the Tegarus have no time for luxurious talk of anything else other than fighting for their survival because, the objective of the war waged on Tigray is eradicating them from the face of earth according to the vows of the government and its hatred intoxicated supporters. To date citizens in Tigray mainly and Oromia and elsewhere generally are needlessly dying for no apparent reasons only to satisfy the vindictive appetites of invading allied forces including that of the Eritrea’s dictator.
An historic tragedy unfolding in Tigray has never seen before in the empire’s soil and the wider world although the rest of Ethiopians to date remain oblivious silent and they are willingly sending their children to fight unnecessary genocidal war with their brothers and sisters. Their cooperation with the regime committing genocide on own citizens and to date hell bent in continuing to do so; dictates the fact that they are equally committing inexcusable crimes whose consequences will touch each and individual household of the empire sooner or later.
In fact, the consequence of the war is already touching every single household as sky rocketing price and unmanageable level of living conditions shake the foundation of the empire as ongoing war swallows down the entire economy due to the regime’s becoming engrossed in using the available scarce resources on purchasing of weapons to dehumanise citizens. The international key players also remain oblivious only paying lip services.
Furthermore, the war in Tigray, Oromia, Agaw, Benishangul, Afar, Amhara, Kemant, Ogaden Somali and elsewhere in the empire is wreaking havoc causing the death and displacements of millions mainly in Tigray and generally in Oromia and elsewhere. Moreover, Abiy Ahmed’s War in Oromia is also causing silent genocide where the citizens are agonisingly dying in their thousands due to manmade and naturally caused adverse weather conditions. Last week’s massacre of Oromo civilians in West Wolaga, Horo-Guduru district was therefore a part of Oromo disabling project that we strongly condemn.
In the face of such tragedies, wittingly or unwittingly, the elites of nations and nationalities in Ethiopia are falling their Tegaru, and Oromo brothers and sisters by embarking on Tigray and Oromo eradication mission that is masterminded by Abiy Ahmed’s regime and his vindictive allies who are all determined on continuing with self-destructive mission by binning the option of peaceful political solution. Additionally, as indicated, the peoples of Ethiopia are failing their Tegaru brothers and sisters by sending their children to fight meaningless and unjust war. Those who are recruited to fight their own brothers and sisters are often blessed by religious leaders who openly supported the Tigray War thus fail their religious duties and moral obligations. We, the Sidama nation feel extremely saddened to observe in our lifetime such brutality happening to fellow citizens and mankind generally.
The unprecedented level of suffering of citizens in Tigray due to ongoing allied war, the continued siege, and the denial of access to basic services defies sane belief. Besides, the PP regime, its vindictive supporters and the Eritrean despot are hellbent on keeping Tigray under siege until they ensure their total elimination. We strongly believe that what is happening to Tegarus in Tigray and in the rest parts of Ethiopia where they are ethnic-profiled, hunted and surrounded to be mass imprisoned in concentration camps throughout Ethiopia- is genocidal – that must be unconditionally denounced and stopped.
The Sidama nation sends its unreserved support to Tegarus and unequivocally makes it clear that the Sidama nation is not and never be part of such citizens’ dehumanising project. Instead, the Sidama nation unreservedly supports the Tigray’s and Oromo’s self-defending war with all possible means. Furthermore, the Sidama nation categorically denounces the denial of access to necessities to Tigray and urges the Ethiopian regime to unconditionally lift siege before sitting down for all-inclusive political dialogue that must involves OLA.
We call upon the Sidama nation to reject Abiy Ahmed’s call to send nation’s children to fight unnecessary war with own citizens in Tigray and Oromia instead refusing to obey the PP regime installed cadres in Sidama’s hardly earned state, in unison. We call upon all nations and nationalities of Ethiopia to stop sending of their children to fight unjust war with their brothers and sisters in Tigray instead urge them to support Tigray’s self-defending war. We urge the international community that is doing little or nothing as crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocides are unfolding in Tigray mainly and throughout the country generally; to discharge its moral obligations and international duties by taking urgent, and realistic measures to stop the suffering of millions in the besieged Tigray predominantly and in Oromia and elsewhere generally.
Deeply disturbed by the sad news of children and other civilians’ execution in Mekele’s Kindergarten and Hospital during the recent air and drone strikes of Ethiopian regime; we condemn with the strongest possible terms such barbarism to non-combatant civilians and demand the perpetrators to be brought to justice. We also urge the immediate removal of foreign army including the Eritreans from West Tigray and the rest parts of Ethiopian soil. Finally, we urge services to be urgently and unconditionally restored to Tigray before agreeing to a negotiated ceasefire thereby assume a formal all-inclusive dialogue for Ethiopia to continue as it used to be since its creation over 142 years ago.
These are left unaddressed, the SNLF sternly warns nations and nationalities who are supporting the regime committing genocide on own citizens; and the wider global key players, the consequence of the regime’s war on Tigray, Oromia and other parts of the country will be dangerously far reaching with debilitating damage not only to Ethiopians but also the wider horn and beyond. We urge an unconditional political solutions to be immediately sought after removing genocidal rope tied and tightened on Tigray, now!

Today, we can assess and with the knowledge that is out. That the Tripartite Alliance has now issued their forces in and around the Tigray region. That’s why you will not hear of Tigray Defence Forces (TDF) advances in the Amhara region or within Afar region. Since, the TDF will be busy defending the Tigray region on several of fronts.
The Tripartite Alliance, Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF), Eritrean Defence Force (EDF) and Amhara Regional Special Forces or Amhara Para-Military Group “Fano” against the Tigray Defence Force (TDF).
The Eritrean Forces are entering the Tigray region today. While there has been movements of troops to Lalibela, as well as in and around Kobo in North Wollo Zone in Amhara region. There are also reports of drones being stationed in Semera in Afar region. Which has been used to target locations and specific targets within Tigray. It is also reports of bombardment of civilian areas in Mekelle, which the ENDF air-force claims or alleges to be “army compound/bases”. However, they have hit a playground and around a hospital. So, the military instalments hasn’t been hit.
So, the TDF will be stretched with attacks from every sort of area around the Tigray region. This is a deliberate act and been planned. They are trying not only to continue the occupation of Western Tigray. While the Tripartite Alliance is now surrounding every corner with brigades and possibly weaken any sort of defence the TDF can have.
The ones that was expected the TDF to be able to advance in the Amhara region now. They will have enough struggle to cope with the movements and insurgencies from all sides. The TDF will not have a moment to breathe. They will be defending and need to strategically consider where they will loose ground to ensure the Tripartite Alliance doesn’t get control of the region like it did after the invasion in November 2020.
The movement away from Kobo and such seems strategically done now. As they have moved to Lalibela and other areas too. The chaos of North Wollo and South Wollo will cease, especially if the reports of possible insurgencies from Eritrea and elsewhere. Therefore, don’t expect to hear of victories or any sort of movements in Amhara region from the TDF. They will have enough to just defend itself.
The brigades and the troops moved to both Amhara region and the deployment of Eritrean forces into the Tigray region. This just shows the intentions of the Tripartite Alliance. They had prepared this ahead of the deployment of the TDF outside of Tigray. It takes time to move troops and get them ready to the various of fronts. The stationing of soldiers and mechanical divisions takes time and doesn’t just happen over night. Therefore, the Tripartite Alliance was prepared ahead of this and they knew perfectly well the plan to attack Tigray on several of fronts.
The bombing of Tigray region in Dedebit happened before the “humanitarian truce” ceased to exist and resumption of the conflict. While we know the FDRE and the clique of Addis Ababa will pin all blame on the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). While the peace talks and such only makes sense to be stalling and not legit. This is why the besieged region never got peace or ability to run as normal. While everything ill of the Republic is pinned on Mekelle.
Surely, Addis Ababa, Bahir Dar and Asmara will continue to do so. The ones now acting in self-defence will be at fault. Just like it is Tigrayan people fault for being born so and being arrested for their ethnicity. That’s the sort of government in power and how it acts, while calling TPLF and Tigray terrorists. Because, that’s how they are defending their actions…
So, expect more nonsense ahead. As the famine and genocide continues. The plights and tragic circumstances isn’t changing anytime soon. Tigray is already facing hunger and starvation… and now they are also being the frontline of the war. This will be bloody and this prolonged war will destroy Tigray for about a generation or possibly even more. That’s the legacy the Tripartite Alliance leaves behind. This is their enforcement of law and how they want to operate.
The warlords is returning to Tigray with forces on all sides. The TPLF and the Tigray will get all the blame. While the men and the leaders of Addis Ababa and Asmara will prolong the agony, which they started in November 2020. They are the ones that has besieged, blocked and ensured the tragedies to happen on a regular basis. Peace.
