Ethiopia: Abiy is crying wolf now…

“👉Ethiopian police is a force that works 24 hours a day to protect sheep from wolves.

👉 You can hear many wolves screaming; the meaning of the shout is let us eat sheep as we want.

👉 Police officers, you don’t get any gratitude from wolves, so I suggest you to continue your work.

👉 Ethiopia will not fall, the forces that want to destroy Ethiopia will fall.

👉 Whenever Ethiopia’s existence and sovereignty is exposed to danger, the police is on the front line so it deserves respect” (Ethiopian Press Agency (ENA)- ‘The main points of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s message on the Federal Police recognition and appreciation program!!‘, 06.05.2022).

Prime Minister Abiy is like the kid and the shepherd, as his crying wolves and there is no one to be found. Abiy has created lots of enemies over the years. He has tried to consolidate all power. The Prosperity Party means of unity is to endanger, enlarge and intimidate anyone who is in their way. It doesn’t matter where and what. His law-enforcement will be used to enforce the will of one man and his designated “rule of law”. Which is total subordination under his reign.

That’s why nearly every region has seen the law enforcement and how it has cracked down on dissidents. The use of the police and armed forces to go after opposition parties, media-houses and anyone who stands in his way. This is why he needs the Police and the opportunity to arrest the ones who defies him.

Abiy have done this for nearly the whole period he has been in power. He has targeted opposition and ethnic groups, which had fallen out of favours with the regime. That’s being Tigrayan or querro from the Oromo. This being opposition members and party officials of the Ogaden (Somali region). Therefore, the police and policing has been a vital instrument for Abiy rule.

That’s why Abiy needs the police to continue the oppression within the republic. This is why the authorities and the law enforcement is so important. It is the votes of the people or any sort of popularity.

It is very interesting that he uses sheep and wolves. As the shepherd himself… his calling on wolves, when his creating enemies and people dangerous within his realm. That shows what sort of state of affairs Abiy promotes. His crying wolf and crying wolf. While using them as scapegoats and enemies… Since Abiy is so “worried” about the sheep. The defence of the sheep’s are used as a means to an end. While the real reason for the usage and promoting the authorities is to keep his administration alive.

Prime Minister Abiy knows all of this and that’s why he had to celebrate the Police Forces. They are key together with the Ethiopian National Defence Forces (ENDF). If it wasn’t for the police or the army, he wouldn’t have the ability to shed blood and detain people for years on end. That’s what his doing and willingly so. There is nothing stopping him and the police is helping in silencing anyone who speaks up against him.

So, the ones believing this celebration of the police is sincere. No, this is a way of showing who is running the show and having a bash in honour of the authorities keeping his office alive. Since, if the police or any other authority would stop following the orders from the “high above”. Than the PM would fear for his position and office.

Abiy needs the police and the authorities in general. That’s why he did this and it’s deliberately too. The ones who think this isn’t strategic.. hasn’t been seeing what his been up too and seeing what sort of regime of mass-arrest, which has been going on from the on-set of him becoming the Head of State. Peace.

Ethiopia: Abiy is boastful of the blockade of Tigray

They did 47 years of struggle. They first fought for 17 years. Ten thousands has died. They then became government for certain years. They stepped down from government and many people died again. Overall, 40 years of effort made sure that going to Gondar or Asmara only a daydream [for them]. It brought no single drop of benefit for Tigray” – Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali (02.06.2022).

It has been two days since Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali said this to a national broadcaster while his visiting development projects in Bale, Oromia region. We know that the humanitarian truce has let in more convoys and trucks, but never at the levels that the humanitarian organizations has said was needed.

The Tigray region is still struggling and lacks everything. There is a possibility of a man-made famine, mass-starvation and plights unknown to men. In a region where millions are lacking food security and basic necessities. The blockade haven’t only been direct blocking of humanitarian convoys. It has been blocking of the telephone-line, internet and utilities like electric too.

That’s why seeing the interview and that the PM would say this so close to having a meeting with African Union Envoy Olusegun Obasanjo who also seeing the development of Oromia. It just shows how brazen and how Abiy disregard Tigray. How he wants the Tigray to suffer and never heal. That is the message that’s coming here.

While we know that the Amhara Para-Military Group “Fano” have been stationed in the Western Tigray and also Eritrean Defence Force (EDF). We know that the parties have planned to continue the siege and the war is far from over. It is only a waiting game before another “final offensive” and an end of the tyranny.

Abiy is proud of besieging Tigray and blocking it. The deliberate weakening of Tigray and endless suffering it has caused since November 2020. The sort of devastation and destruction, which can be hard to phantom. As there reports of numbers of dead, massacres, internally displaced people (IDPs) and unknown levels of people suffering with lack of medicines or treatment. Therefore, the reality is grim and people have been tormented, because Abiy wanted to consolidate all power.

Abiy wanted everyone under his wings and the ones who dissent will get punished. The punishment will either be with fierce retaliation of the authorities or a lethal act of epic proportions. That’s how he ensures everyone knows the “drill”. As it is all about “unity” and “rule of law” but that’s for other to follow. He can issue or order “death” or even “extra judicial-killings” with no consequences, as it is done in the banner of the Federal Government and whatever sort of justification the PM has that week.

If you still believe Abiy… his proud of destroying his enemies. He is now a man who stands by the ideals of blocking everything to Tigray. Just so it cannot access or have any sort of ability whatsoever. While his allies can still onslaught a return with violence to a region in dire distress. Where the murders of the state is covered up and the unknown levels of war-crimes has been committed. Still, he is proud that his effort of bloodshed and collective punishment have been done.

That’s the sort of warlord and leader Abiy is… the ones believing in the dialogue or the process to peace with him. Clearly doesn’t know him. These sorts of words shows who he is and what his all about. And if you don’t know, now you know. Peace.

Ethiopia: Agew Liberation Front (ALF) – Statement (02.06.2022)

Agew people are important in “Ethiopia” such as engineering, medicine, agriculture and weapons, lodge industries, law administration (Shengo), irrigation and economic construction etc. The. The country has contributed revenge and international knowledge.

In connection with the second world war and the Italian invasion, many languages including Agewigna have been destroyed and the speakers have been punished and jailed. All other languages except Amharic, which is used by arrogant leaders.

Solomon Gudifecha’s son has declared an army to destroy Agaw and Agewna in Gondar, Gozham, Belasta and surrounding areas. Therefore, the people of Agew have made Agew a wide Amharic speaker in Gondar or Gojam.

At this time “Ethiopia” is continuing its dictatorship transition by closing the grave door on Agew identity and breath and allowing others who used to be proud of themselves to plant an organization.

As the respected people of Agew have noticed in the past years, until the dance of pride is changed, the left and right side will be in a cycle of war, especially between “Amhara region” and “Menilik federal government” even though power is not publicly based on race, the structure is divided from father to son, our great people are being betrayed and buried. B level It’s almost up to the top.

And so

1. Let it be known that the organization that calls itself “Amhara’s prosperity” in the federal government does not represent our people either in Gondar, Gojham, Belasta, Amharic or Agewigna language.

2. Since Amharic is the people of Agew, the name of the region “Amhara” is boldly done to knock the political power of the Agew people into a chain of slavery so it should be demolished by a proclamation and renamed as “Agew People’s Region” and members of the Agew People’s Representative Council should be named

3. Since the Agew people did not give votes and representation, a dictatorial system cannot be the leader of the people, so we need a proper representation election that involves all parties and representatives.

4. The psychological, material and spiritual resources that has been inflicted on our people in Lasta-Humra, Gondar and Gojam should be strengthened and brought to justice.

5. Those who declared genocide on civilians in Abergele and Neyer: those who led, executed, displaced, destroyed infrastructure, to be brought to justice and those who were jailed because they were Agew

6. Those who prevent Agew civilians from going to war, those who used children and elders in the middle of war, those who declared man-made starvation, and those who killed our people should be brought to justice by prohibiting the arrival of medicine and saving lives.

7. We would like to remind everyone to refrain from pushing the Agaw Liberation Front in “Ethiopia” political platform.

Agew still today! Agew and tomorrow!

Age of aga

May the Agew Liberation Front be blessed!

Ethiopia: FDRE have a dream of the Red Sea Part II – They are now planning to patrol the Red Sea

We know that the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and the Prosperity Party has had ambition to gain territory or possibility to access the Red Sea. The landlocked nation spoken of launching a navy back in 2018 and in 2021 there was talk of setting up a Navy base, but Ethiopia has no territory by the sea. They did though in May 2021 launch a logo and a uniform for a new marine unit or navy of the FDRE.

The FDRE has dry-docks and the biggest is 73 kilometres outside of Addis Ababa is Modjo Port and Terminal. It is an inland port, which is dry and a continuation of the Ethio – Djibouti Railway-line. That’s where the Ethiopian Navy will train and that’s the news of the Ethiopian Federal Police Commissioner General Demelash Gebremichael today. So, by doing so… they are trying on dry-land to monitor and patrol the Red Sea.

The FDRE wants to play a vital role against piracy in the Red Sea. That is being a party and a participant in the Red Sea Initiative. Nevertheless, at this point it an ambitious vision without the fundamentals in place. There is no infrastructure or a base for it to launch it out from. Unless, they have allies in Eritrea, Djibouti or Somalia who is allowing them to have a “proxy” navy there.

Now it’s official that’s from the next year they are apparently being on the sea and fighting piracy. We know this is a priority of the Addis Ababa regime. The PP have mentioned this for years and even earlier in May 2022 the Foreign Minister was reported to have said this:

Addis Ababa May 17/2022/ENA/ Ethiopia will not continue to be a close observer to issues with regard to the Red Sea, and is working focused on expanding alternative ports in Kenya, Somaliland and Eritrea, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister Demeke Mekonnen told the House of People’s Representatives today. To enable this big country with huge population accesses alternative ports, the ministry has designed a geopolitical strategy it has been working to realize. As a country close to the Red Sea there is no rationale to exclude from being beneficiary of the region, he noted” (Ethiopian News Agency – ‘Ethiopia to Pursue Interest on Red Sea, Expand Port Options in Region: Demeke Mekonnen’ 17.05.2022, ENA).

So, we know that this been a vision for some time. Even the landlocked republic of Ethiopia has wanted a working navy for years now. While there is no direct prospects of ports or bases to do so. That is all on the basis of their diplomatic ties and alliances with the nations of the horn. As the Ethiopian territory don’t have any sea-border.

It is hard to see them overcoming the trouble of implementing it. They have to build, buy and run a navy, which is suddenly having patrolling the Red Seas. Which will be an “alien” vessel or ship, because that’s possible war-ship or such that has to be allowed to enter these seas. So, it is not only having a port which is friendly and an agreement to run an operation there. There is a need for agreements and allowing the vessels to enter into other nations sea-borders and within the reach of their soil. Therefore, it is a lot of stake and will not be easy…

That’s why it’s hard to see the FDRE achieve that by the year of 2023. As it is struggling with the waging internal wars as is. The leaders of Addis Ababa have to do more than train in-and-around the dry port of Modjo Inland Port. We know that sort of training will not hold or be capable to combat piracy, neither will seasoned pirates be afarid of these land-crabs trying to compete on a rough sea. Therefore, the dream can become a nightmare.

Unless, there is a sudden miracle opening of ports and they have funds to build a navy base. Secondly, have funds to buy vessels and have experienced sea-man to operate those ships too. Therefore, there is a lot of details lost in the FDRE vision here. Peace.

Ethiopia: Herald Editorial implies that exposing “human rights violations” is manipulating “internal affairs”

The Ethiopian Herald Editorial has published an article called “Evil in the mask of human rights”. It is really giving an insight to what the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (FDRE) signs of on. Since, this is the government press and the Ethiopian News Agency (ENA) own English newspaper. So, what this states is the memo’s of the government and the ideals of the state. Therefore, a text like this relevant. Just so you know what they believe and how they wants to operate.

It starts with this premise: By its very nature human rights are universal or global issues. Every human being, society or international organizations up to the United Nations has responsibility for human rights’ protection. Countries of the world that are signatories of the UN declaration of human rights have equal responsibility in safeguarding human rights of people both throughout the world as well as in the respective nations” (Ethiopian Herald, 31.05.2022).

What is striking here is that they say the Human Rights are Universal or Global Issues. While they claim it became an issue or a responsibility, because of the United Nations or UN Declaration of Human Rights. Well, to be straight there been plenty of documents before that given citizens and persons rights. That going all the way back to the Magna Carta of 1215, English Bill of Rights (1689), French Declaration on the Rights of Man and Citizens (1789) and the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights (1791). In addition, there been others documents and declarations known to men that given people certain rights, but just to show what the humanity has done to give each other rights.

Human Rights are universal by the definition, because we are all human. Humans who has rights and laws to adhere too. That’s how we built our society, by giving an individual rights and also boundaries to it. As the state is setting the standard and regulations of it. In such a fashion, that the person has liberties and freedoms, but also has to comply with national laws. Therefore, it is a deeper thing than what the writer wrote here and it was done with a purpose.

As it continues: “However any attempt to manipulate countries under the guise of human rights is unacceptable. For decades Ethiopia has been active participant in global efforts of protecting human rights. For instance, it has stood in the forefront to deploy peacekeeping troops to troubled regions for several decades. It has also discharged its responsibilities capably in the protection of human rights of its people” (…) “What more do other international organizations and some countries want from the government or the country then? Some groups that work in the mask of human rights are trying to interfere in the domestic affairs of Ethiopia. What makes their attempt worst is that they are using the pretext of human rights to achieve their destructive ends. The experience so far shows that those who intervene in the sovereign and internal affairs of other countries with the pretext of human rights protection have caused state collapse in many regions of the world” (Ethiopian Herald, 31.05.2022).

Well, here is where the shady stuff is being said. Any state who has nothing to hide and don’t feel intimidated by international organizations or any UN organization for that matter. Can show their human rights records and accept the critic. Even fairly democratic nations has misgivings and has tools at their disposal that is questioned by the same agencies, which is speaking ill of the practices and acts of the FDRE at this current. Therefore, as the Universal laws and practices of Human Rights are accepted… it set a precedence and expectations of the signatories. That’s why it isn’t the whistleblowers, the reporters or the ones calling out the breaches of it fault. However, it is the government who is taking away the rights and the opportunities of the individuals in question.

That is why the Ethiopian government feels targeted, because it has breached and broken codes of assembly, allowing gatherings and blocking political parties- or civil society from organizing for that matter. The FDRE has used the authorities, arrested people without charges or warrants, it has extra-judicial killed unarmed civilians, tortured and detained people for a long time without a trial. There are so many cases, which shows how the FDRE has failed it’s citizens. Even going to war against regions and use “rule of law” as a reason to take everything away. Therefore, this justification to defend it’s records are just showing what the state is willing to do.

When they speak of “masking” and “destructive ends” by exposing or critiquing the misuse of power and the authority of the state. As it is a force which could be used for the common good, but instead is used to consolidate power and silence anyone who dissent. That’s why organizations and outsiders are calling the FDRE out. The writer is down-playing the Human Rights and the value of the individual in question. As the state should be allowed to do act like it does and outsiders shouldn’t questioned internal affairs. If the state wasn’t acting rogue or breaching international Human Rights law. It wouldn’t have a reason to call out the Prosperity Party or the FDRE at this very moment. However, it doesn’t respect the liberties or freedoms of the citizens. That’s why people are speaking out and they are also using the sources of Ethiopian organizations, which are exposing it on the regular too. Therefore, the FDRE shouldn’t feel butt-hurt that it’s called out, but instead look into it and allow the individual freedom to assemble, gather and not be afraid of massive crackdown. Because, that is what the state does and is known for.

The editorial ends with: “Therefore, it is much better to leave intact the sovereign rights of countries and their governments as well as to keep them accountable only as per the provisions of the international conventions which all the countries of the world are signatory. Any other attempt to manipulate the human rights cause as a pretext to execute a hidden agenda would only end up devastating the peaceful situation in a country and worsening the human rights of people there” (Ethiopian Herald, 31.05.2022).

It is just furthering it’s defence of international affairs and stating that inference is internal affairs are bad. A country is so sovereign, that the ones looking into FDRE should manipulate it. However, detaining people without trials cannot be manipulated. It can only be exposed and the use of force against unarmed civilians is only told and reported about. The use of army and militia’s under the “guise” of “rule of law” only shows what sinister motivation the state has. As it isn’t serving the public, but serving the purpose of the Federal Government, which only wants to consolidate all power within the realm. While not allowing the Regional States to run on their own or outside the “one-party” government of the Prosperity Party. Therefore, the ones calling this out aren’t interfering, but telling a truth, which we know the FDRE isn’t in favour of.

A state can be sovereign, but should also be able to be held accountable. That is if the state also wants to be transparent and be fair about it’s actions. Nevertheless, neither is the FDRE at this time. The state rather bury it’s enemies and hope no one is talking about it. That’s why Human Rights is despised by the authorities at the moment. Because, they know they are not caring about that and only cares about solidifying their roles.

It is not the people telling the stories and the organizations reporting the violations that is the problem. The problem is that the state orders, directs and conducts the affairs this way. As they are keeping citizens detained years on end, in prison for their profession, party or being an activist. Therefore, it is not worsening the situation, but only showing the horrific actions, which we know a ruthless government like the FDRE at the time prefers being kept a secret or under wraps. Because, this government only wants praise for planting trees and for eloquent speeches of his majesty, the Prime Minister Abiy. That’s what it wants… but instead it getting exposed for grim tales of horror, which it dislikes.

It shouldn’t shock anyone that we are here, but a government speaking ill of human rights and claiming sovereignty in this fashion. Can only be vile and attempt unjustified approach to it’s civilians. Since it fears the ones who tells the tales and show what it does. Peace.

Ethiopia: Afar People’s Party (APP) – Current press release from Afar People’s Party Executive Committee (31.05.2022)

The executive committee of the Afar People’s Party held on 14-17 May 2014 at the Semera city headquarter discussed many regional and national issues and made important decisions and future directions. It will be presented as follows.

1/ Regarding peace and stability:- our country is forced to pay the price of wealth and life because of TPLF’s thirst for power and the claim that they will destroy the country unless I lead, all the people of Afar have been forced to pay the wrong price of wealth and lives; they have been displaced from their hot life and migrated to migration and begging, which is very shameful in our culture; our women have been raped; parents have been separated from their children. He has seen so many. Innocent people are physically harmed, the rest are mentally ill.

In addition to this war, there is a war that has been started on our people from all directions and people are being killed every day on their own land. Therefore, the government whose first job is protecting the lives of the citizens is not only protecting the safety of our people, but also on activities that increase the vulnerability of our people.

Even though the people of Afar are people who work with priority for peace, they have shown their identity to the world by governmental and non-governmental invaders who come to challenge their sovereignty in their own land and to paint the history of heroism in black. They have shown their true identity to the world without expecting anything from anyone. However, the Afar people’s party is in vain every day. Withholding the dying citizens. We strongly urge him to give and fulfill his constitutional duty.

2/ low cost of living, corruption and lack of good governance:- We have found that the Afar People’s Party has been out of control due to high corruption, lack of good governance and excessive corruption as well as illegal hoarding of resources and embezzlement of the people to foreign countries are out of control. Since the works done in the region are not done properly and legally bidding system, the winners of the auction Sachhew The lack of quality of projects and lack of timely completion has held back the development of the region since they are office heads or families and the right professionals and the intermediaries.

Since our region’s geothermal nature is desert especially in this month of May the temperature will reach 40 to 50 degree Celsius, high water consumption is required. However, in the capital city of the region, Semera, the authorities have bought a boat and sold 20 liters of water for 35 birr and closed the main water line to the people for high water. Thirst has been put out.

We should not tolerate this unforgivable human rights violation and it should be fixed quickly. Not only the transportation is expensive, there is a huge shortage of transport in the region. It is enough to look at the Semera and Logia taxi lines at 7 o’clock in the afternoon. In order to ensure that the public resources that are exploited by individuals to be properly utilized and the government has rented buses for the people. Ransport We would love to make sure you provide service.

The Afar People’s Party is condemning these people who left the people and don’t think they will return to the people tomorrow. We urge the regional administration to take immediate measures against them.

All this suffering seems to be less, but in our region every 100 meters, smart bosses and government-supported government officials are robbing the people! There is a high and man-made cost of living in the region. For some and known parties to make profit, by confiscating exploited commodities, torturing low capacity merchants and making the situation comfortable for government contrabandists, by removing the legal merchants from the market and showing the farmers the hard work has become a common practice. The regional government needs an urgent correction. For him to take measures and the lives of the war-torn people. We’re going to encourage him to calm down.

3/ Human rights violations and exposure activities:- In our region, there have been huge violations of human rights related to the war; women have been raped by herds; children have been separated from their parents; severe physical injuries have been inflicted on our people; those who have been injured and thrown into every health center; those who have died and left their families in trouble; the infrastructure that are needed to live should be counted. Lala is destroyed, our people from their homes. Displaced and exposed to immigration.

There is a crisis of food, water and medicine in the refugee camps. Because the humanitarian support from the local and international community is not for the purpose of the development of individuals, our people are facing a serious situation of hunger and health problems.

It has been understood that the farmers displaced from Northern Afar who were displaced by this war are in a big problem in the concentration camps especially in Guyeh and Afdera by speaking to the displaced people. There is a huge shortage of drinking water in this area and thousands of families get only one bottle per day which is from the existing community. The displaced people said it could be the reason for another conflict in Garh.

We urge the government to solve these people’s problems as soon as possible and save the lives of the citizens.

Recently, there are rumors that they will return displaced people to their homes. While it is good that the displaced people are back, the Afar People’s Party would like to express its concern that you have left them in an empty village where their wealth is destroyed and claiming that they have returned to your country and claiming that it will not be an act of escaping from responsibility by the government.

Therefore, until the peace issue settles down, and the people recover from the spirit of war, we will suggest that the government should calmly take care of the people in the peaceful places they are. We believe that there is enough stock. A lot of young people who tried to express their views are in prison in this time where the infrastructure is not met is the ultimate humanity. Just in case a wee right offender. The party urges citizens to get justice and release them immediately.

The Afar People’s Party has made a lot of efforts to inform the world community about this human rights violation and in this process it has tried to explain the truth by creating contact with local and foreign institutions through letters.

The top leaders of the party have given explanations to the European Union Human Rights Commission, the European Union East African Special Envoy for UK East Africa and Red Sea Special Envoy for the African Union, the African Union Human Rights Commission and a lot of the world community about the violations of our people. Rights organizations on the issue of Afar The party has expressed its complaint that they have shown generosity.

4/ Regarding the national discussion:- The people of Afar believe that the source of our country’s current and lasting problems are not talking, not discussing, controlling all those who came to power alone and seeing others as destroyers of the country, not spreading a common vision and not willing to work together in a civilized way are the main reasons. This is the cycle we are in today. The one that put us in Therefore, once and for all, we believe that a fair, honest, honest, transparent and all inclusive national counsel should be resolved.

However, since the commission that was established now doesn’t meet the minimum requirements stated above, bringing together the governmental and non-governmental forces that are armed and causing our people suffer, we don’t think it will bring a lasting peace, but it will bring a solution. It is not only a waste of time and energy. If they didn’t believe too much was wasted in this process and considering the necessity of the issue. The one that will never be late Since it is an agenda, we have repeatedly asked you to solve the problems and save our country. Therefore, we would like to inform you that we will not be able to participate in the process until these prerequisites are fulfilled.

Afar people party Semera, Afar

Ethiopia: Global Society of Tigray Scholars and Professionals (GSTS) – Letter of Complaint on Breach of Research Ethics by Prof. Ann Fitz-Gerald (30.05.2022)

Opinion: The man who has blocked humanitarian assistance for months, begs the international community to strengthen their support…

During the 15th Extraordinary AU Humanitarian Summit, I reiterated Ethiopia’s commitment to ensuring assistance reaches those afflicted by natural & man made disasters. It is imperative that partners scale up their support for humanitarian services across the continent” (Abiy Ahmed Ali, 28.05.2022).

The Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali is bold and really a living hypocrisy. Yes, at the recent weeks there has finally been allowed some trucks or convoys into the Northern Regions of the Republic. As the Ethiopian government have blocked, put bureaucratic hurdles and ensured that nothing has entered the war-torn region. Alas, of late and after the truce there has come a little in. While it is far from what is needed and a man-made famine has been created. That is what the PM is responsible for and his government have vilified “wheat-aid” and whatever humanitarian assistance in the past.

So, that the PM says this at the African Union Humanitarian Summit in Malabo says something. Like we are supposed to forge the millions who are struggling and starving. Because, the PM wanted to prove a point against the regional government in Mekelle. That is the gist of it all.

It is really something that he says this now. After all the heartache, pain and suffering he has inflicted on a region, which is a war that is ordered in his name.

His reported to have said this:

““Therefore, a lot of work is being done with partners to reduce the risk of natural disasters.”

Abiy further noted that strong drought prevention measures are crucial as previous droughts in the region have shown its worst impact. “Ethiopia will strengthen its efforts to withstand the challenges of climate change by planting billions of seedlings a year under the green legacy program. Accordingly, despite the global economic crisis the country continues to provide unreserved humanitarian assistance to millions of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), he emphasized” (The Ethiopian Herald – ‘ Premier calls for more humanitarian support to Africa’ 28.06.2022).

His acting like his a saviour and has the answers, which is striking when his government is burning the republic from the inside. The government his running and operating is causing the suffering. The PM and his henchmen is in-charge of the insecurity, food-insecurity and the newly internally displaced people. It’s his wars, “Law Enforcement” Operations and “Rule of Law” campaigns that causes this. Where civilians are arrested, detained, kept incommunicado and tortured. Dissidents are targets and arrested too. That’s what is happening in the Republic and on orders of the PM.

Yes, his planting green trees and trying to forge a “green legacy” but what he will be remembered for is his “Medemer Terror”. The violence, the brutal wars and conflicts done in his name. The assassinations, mass-murders, massacres and others happening on his watch. The bloodshed has been done in his name and he is behind a silent killer called starvation or man-made famine. That’s all his work. The score card is sinister and evil. So, it is really striking that a man who rules like this.

Speaks like that at an international setting. Trying to forge a positive narrative. Like we don’t know what is happening in Ethiopia. We haven’t seen the atrocities of the state in Ogaden, Oromia, Amhara, Afar or Tigray regions for that matter. We know and the injustice will linger on for long. The reign of Abiy will damage a generation and he will be at fault.

This is the sins of Abiy and he has to carry them. Peace.
