“The Ethiopian people are facing a difficult time in history because they don’t have a worthy political leader, they have been denied inclusion and all inclusive system. The fluctuation of the political line, the regional interest of internal and external forces, modest tribal narratives, structural and systematic problems etc. He has put our people through endless suffering. Specially the bloody war that has been waged between TPLF and the federal government and the western and central Oromia governments have made Ethiopians to be in deep sorrow” (ENAT Party – ‘”Taking care of yourself before you get sick… “It’s going to be!”, 01.05.2023).
“The prime minister’s desire for change and strong struggle in the coming days has created some change, so it was natural that citizens can express their ideas freely. The hope that “democratic system can be built” was also short. Let it be “I have peace in the sky … “We are forced to live in a country and system where Ethiopia and Ethiopianism are denied and is led by ethnic based narratives. We know that journalists, intellectuals and social activists will be questioned by the court if they violate the law they write and speak. Otherwise, what is the reason for arresting, beating, harassing and hiding citizens?” (A joint statement given by ENAT party, EPRP and MEAD on current issues – The government should stop the attack on the Amhara people immediately!, 03.05.2023).
This week, the ENAT Party has released two statements on the current affairs. Both are very interesting and telling. They are clearly aiming at Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali. That is obvious to the naked eye. He is the one they are aiming at and they not missing a single word.
Prime Minister Abiy should listen to the ENAT Party here. They are in opposition and are vocal too. They are telling something he might don’t want to hear, but it is still useful. Especially, if he wants to right his wrongs and make a change.
Abiy and the Prosperity Party are showing itself to be a party of guns, ammo and warfare. It isn’t a party of dialogue or genuine peace. The peace is only settled if the grievances of the PP is met and the others are silenced. That’s how Abiy and his allies operate, and this is why there is so much conflict in Ethiopia.
The ENAT Party is just exposing the lack of good leadership. They are just explaining what is wrong in the current time. The ENAT Party is spelling out what many people are thinking. This is bold… but necessary.
We know that NEBE and the Authorities, which are under the control of Abiy could easily retaliate. They could suddenly go after ENAT and their associates. Because that is what the likes of Abiy does. He tends to go after their pockets, their assets and whatever political capital they have. This is how he comes ahead and get power.
Deep inside the ENAT Party and their allies knows the reason for the oppression and the targeting of dissidents in the Republic. That is done to silence the ones that oppose the PP or the Prime Minister. It is the main focus and the main reason. Because at this stage it’s all about consolidating power and ensure every region has puppets following the PM on a tightrope. If that isn’t happening… his bringing the guns and the cavalry to intimidate and stop the ones who are in his way.
It is interesting that the ENAT Party does this, but I wonder… if they will feel the blunt force too. Since they dare to speak out and that isn’t done without any sort of retaliation. Peace.
