“We have repeatedly asked the government to stop the war in Amhara region and solve the problems only through discussion. We have also stated that our innocent citizens will be victims of the war that is led by illiteracy and competition is a country destroyer. Even if there is no listener, we will continue to strengthen our work as a part of the responsibility of letting the Ethiopian people know the truth and the international community understand the truth” (ENAT; 05.09.2023).
Yet again, the ENAT Party releases a Press Release, this time called: “The killing that is being carried out on our innocent citizens should stop immediately!”. The title of it is telling. It is sign of what is happening in Ehtiopia. ENAT Party is one of the vocal opposition parties and it has done so in a collective of others parties too. This time its all alone, but the message is loud and clear.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali should listen to the voice of reason. Though after all these years. We know that is futile. He isn’t a man of peace, but a man of war. A proper warlord and a proud one of that. His getting more energy and hope for the future, the more death and consolidating power he gets. He just needs to get rid of one more self-created enemy before going to bed. That’s what the PM does and how he schemes. It is a game and the Amhara Region is his latest victim.
ENAT Party continues:
“As we have repeatedly tried to express that our country’s complex political problems will not be solved by war but by calm and civilized discussion and dialogue. Enat Party, together with four cooperative parties, as it has been stated repeatedly in press release and in different medias, before the country goes out of control and enters into a total crisis, we have come back to our minds and are free from arrogance and self-esteem. We ask the government again to open the door for an urgent national rescue dialogue and save our country from the worst danger” (ENAT, 05.09.2023).
Nothing that is said by the ENAT Party is shocking at this point. The endangering situation in Amhara is striking. It is self-caused and an internally battle for supremacy. Where former allies has become bitter enemies of the state. Former Weapon-Brothers are now fighting each other and it’s all done so one man can be King. That’s the Medemer Terror and it’s now appearing it’s vicious beast in Amhara. Just like it has done in other regions in past.
ENAT Party is asking for talks, dialogue and negotiations between the stakeholders. However, the Amhara Popular Front/FANO knows they will be destroyed and lose everything by doing so. They have seen how the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) haven’t earned political currency by accepting a Cessation of Hostilities Agreement in Pretoria, South Africa. Instead they are still hurting and nothing positive is really happening in Tigray. The issues remains and the stalling of progress is so evident. As the people are starving and lack of support is deliberate still.
That’s why the Prosperity Party and the PM is the only winner of this. They still get to control and have the final say. While the dissidents and possible rebels still will have to pay even after the signed agreement. The PP and PM just uses it for positive PR and possible photo-ops. That’s what they do, but implementation is another matter.
The Amhara must have seen this and ENAT Party shouldn’t be fools either. Yes peace is the best. Nevertheless, a fake peace is only causing a more terrible war later. As the grievances aren’t met and people are kept in the dark. Even when the lights are supposed to be on or fixed for their enlightenment. Alas, that’s the scenario and the losers are in Amhara. Neither they will accept it or not. It is a loose-lose situation… it just depends on how much the Amhara is willing to loose. That’s the end-game here and the legitimacy are in the hands of Abiy. He can govern the way he pleases and his yes-men will ensure just that.
The rebels of Amhara can stand up to him and wish him gone. However, that will be a hard bargain, unless he does something very stupid. That is not known yet, but he will only go to the field or be there shortly to show “victory” and resilience against his enemies. That’s when he joins the battle and acts like the biggest G.I. Joe.
Seriously, it is tragic that ENAT Party has to state these thing. That just shows what is going down in Amhara region. It is a warning and the Prosperity Party should listen to the pleas of ENAT. Regardless of that, I know it won’t happen. The PM is to arrogant and entitled to humiliate himself to that level. He rather bury the men who stands in his way and do so with a grin while planting a tree. That’s what Abiy does and don’t mind if their bodies are buried by the trees either. It is just meant to be that way. Peace.
