Ethiopia: Salsay Weyane Tigray – Press Release (05.08.2024)



“It’s been a while since we started negotiations and peace talks with armed forces in the Amhara Regional State” (…) “Because the forces are headed by different leaders, we’ve had to talk to each of them one at a time. When one leader agrees, the other disagrees. But the fact is we are still in continuous communication with forces in Amhara. The leaders are in talks with the government, but they have diverging positions” – Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali (01.08.2024).
Just like the Ministry of Peace isn’t fostering any peace or the National Dialogue Commission aren’t making any substantial progress in concern to dialogue. In the same manner that the Prosperity Party aren’t making the nation prosperous either. It is just the ways things are moving with a warlord and liar-in-chief.
Prime Minister Abiy could take power and cling on to it. He now has the funds and the ability to prolong the agony. The International Monetary Fund and World Bank is funding his operations and gives him strength. That’s why he has to make them belief that the situation is better and his progressing. Even if it is all built on a lie and won’t amount to anything.
We know that he isn’t in talks with the Amhara Fano Leaders and neither is he trying to forge new dialogue with the Oromo Liberation Front/Army (OLF/A). That is something that is far from what he would do. For so long now and with new offensives. He should instead have them on their knees and beg for mercy. Alas, that isn’t happening and his armies are out of loss.
“The same is true with Shane. The Shane, armed groups in Oromia, are also led by more than one leader under different groups. Since these groups have different positions, we are in talks with some sects. The major factor that is hindering agreement with those forces is that they consist of different groups, so agreeing with one sect does not lead to an agreement with the whole armed force” (Abiy, 01.08.2024).
We are just seeing a man who is willing to lie about something as significant as this. Speaking of dialogue and talks, but there is nothing there. Nothing is happening, except for more drones and battles in the regions. The Fano’s are still fighting the federal government. OLF/A is still fighting the federal government too. Therefore, nothing is changing and only more bloodshed.
Ethiopia aren’t getting better, but only getting more worse. The new macro-financial policies will only devour the economy and deplete the state. It is only the beginning and the loans will be used up eventually. These funds won’t last long as the PM needs fresh weapons and ammunition, and that doesn’t come cheap. Wars aren’t only costing life, but is an expensive affair. To use force to consolidate power take not only time, but also lots of reserves, which has run out for the PM. That’s why he had to accept the terms of the IMF/WB to get fresh liquidity.
Now, he has to show another face and act like his a man of peace. Even when he isn’t and we all know it. His a blood-thirsty man and a tyrant. A man of war and usage of lethal force in the name of rule of law. He will use the armies and soldiers to get the last remaining dissident to obey him. That’s what Abiy does… and he cannot manipulate the facts anymore.
He was able to trick the nation and the world at one point. Now years down the line. The truth is out. The Medemer Terror is a Modus Operandi and the liar-in-chief continues to lie. Lying about negotiations and talks. Like his talking to them in his head and envisions that ghosts appears to accept his invitation. That’s a delusion or an outright use of power to make belief. In a way to seem more hospitable and sincere. When we all know… he would just like to see them all die. So he can rule supreme as the new Emperor of Addis Ababa. Peace.




“A few days ago, Inside Africa reported that the IMF wanted the Ethiopian birr to be devalued, as it currently trades about 50% weaker than the exchange rate on the black market. This devaluation was necessary for Ethiopia to secure $10.5 billion from the IMF. It seems the Ethiopian government has accepted the IMF’s demands by adjusting the exchange rate to reflect market realities” (Inside Africa, 28.07.2024).
This here is a big blow for the Prosperity Party and the Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali who has broken the economy. All of his warfare and destruction is haunting the state reserves. The continues plague of conflict and usage of force is costing him. That’s why the markets and the lenders are putting hefty strings on the next loan.
Prime Minister Abiy is now in the mercy of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank to run his nation. They are now putting strings on the loans he needs to be fiscally stable. The need of fresh currency and cash-flow is the reason for this. As the government needs more funding to operate and be viable.
That’s why the recent macro-economic policy shift is a worrying sign. The devaluation of the currency will wreck the economy. It will cause an affect on the rating of the nation economy as a whole and also ensure possible rising inflation. This is an evil cycle that can break a nation.
That the Prime Minister is accepting these strings is possibly the “kill shot”. This is the end-game… and it shows that the PM had no other choice. He knew he couldn’t muster confidence or donors to cover a possibly shortfall. He needed the IMF to bail him out. They are now bailing him out, but the government will pay. The citizens will pay even more and the businesses will pay a huge burden too. This is just a tale of sinking ship.
The birr will over time be worthless or even be a mockery of it once was. The short-term salvage and fiscal funding will cease. The state will need more over time and cannot sustain whatever it has for the moment. That’s why they were in need of IMF bailout to begin with. The wars and the conflicts has also stopped the progression and the positive outlook that the Ethiopian economy had.
The PM had inherited a nation of prospects and hope in financial terms, but has been able to destroy and deplete that completely. That’s part of Abiy’s legacy and now he bends the knee for IMF. He becomes their puppets and he tries to make it seem like it was his idea. When the IMF gave him the stings and he made the song out of it. The tune will be played and it will be funeral march. This will be the start of a financial downturn and depression. That’s what is bond to happen.
The birr devaluation is the first step to a highly rising inflation and added costs on everyone. This means everything imported will cost more and that burden will be on the citizens. That’s a cycle of more taking away more funds from circulation and will be spiral of evil. The sort that destroys an economy and that was done on the altar of internal warfare. Internal warfare born out of greed to consolidate power by any means necessary.
Prime Minister Abiy isn’t only depraving people their freedoms and liberties, but now he will empty their pockets on behalf of the IMF and World Bank. Those institutions save him and his reign, but the cost of that will become the burden of the citizens. Peace.
