Ethiopia: Press Release on the Resumption of the Tripartite Negotiation on the GERD (10.06.2020)















Lieutenant Fouad Youssouf Ali an Djiboutian activist and a pilot in the Djibouti Air Force. Has now been detained since his forced return on the 15th May 2020. That is why the people has demonstrated in the republic of Djibouti on Friday 4th June 2020. This is a sign of public dissent towards the government. Who is doing this to one of their own.
He fled in fear of the authorities on the 27th March to Ethiopia. Where he was stationed in a Quarantine Centre in Addis Ababa until they removed him. Even if letters coming to the authorities for the concern of what would happen to him. If he was to return to Djibouti. Which is right by all accounts.
Since he was later forced from the Quarantine Centre and has been in the Gabode prison. The Ethiopian authorities could have ensured his safety. Instead they delivered him back to the injustice he fled.
What is important to know, as the retaliation for his work, the government haven’t only touched Lt. Fouad, but they have arrested mother, brothers, sisters and children. There are rumours that the location and the cell for Lt. Fouad is a toilet. That however is not yet verified.
What we do know is that he tried to flee to safety, Ethiopian authorities returned him and his been stuck in jail ever since. Because he dared to challenge the authorities, the government on social and political change. Something that is cardinal sin in Djibouti.
No one in their right mind challenges or questions the inner-circle nor the President Ismail Omar Guelleh. His the big-man and the head of the nation since 1999. No one should dare to stand up against him. Usually, which is sad. If the public are demonstrating, than the authorities send out their guns to squash it. However on Friday the demonstrations got to linger.
So, there are proof that the public are tired of the regime. That the injustice towards Lt. Fouad might be a spark for further demonstrations and a revolution. Because, this sort of injustice, this sort of action made can be the final straw. As people are tired of the corruption, the intimidation and misuse of power from the top.
We are atleast seeing a spark, a flair and that people are not accepting their rights violated. Because, if they did. They would have silently watched Lt. Fouad and family lingering in prison on charges that is neither proven or cared about.
His a political prisoner because he dared. The dared to challenge Guelleh and this what he got. That is the sort of man Guelleh is and it exposes his fragile ego. When he got a arrest a critic and a man who speaks his mind. Because, Guelleh is supposed to be unceremonious king, but he acts like the executioner instead. Peace.



It has been revealed that the Oromia Education Bureau are spending 3.4m birrs buying the book of Primer Minister Ahmed Ali Abiy. This is the ‘Medemer, however, that’s not all. The same Bureau of Oromia is spending more 5,6m birrs on teaching it too.
What this is the old-school method of indoctrinating your ideals, your words and your political ideology on children. There is reports that this money spent by the Education Bureau is footing the bill of making the book into a audio-book.
There is also reports that the book is being read on public radio for the whole public to listen too. This so weird from a so called “progressive” and a “reformer”. Unless, his faking it into his making it. Because this is the means of leaders, which the likes of him isn’t supposed to associated with.
Maybe, the ideal leader and reformer for the Ethiopian PM is to be like Chairman Mao. As he indoctrinated the Chinese people with his Little Red Book. Alas, also the Libyan dictator Gaddafi’s Green Book. Both of these fella’s used their books insert their message to everyone.
This is surely not a sign of a man whose there for greatness. When the Prime Minister using his office to sell his book and spell-out his message this way. The PM is acting as a dictator with this one. Proving that his “reforming” ways isn’t so real. Because, if they we’re it wouldn’t be that self-serving.
The Prime Minister seemingly see this as a good idea, maybe even a profitable one for him too. Since, he will get the royalties for the publishing of the book and enrich himself. While the citizens and the children has to learn his teachings without any hesitation.
This indoctrinating a dogma, a idea and a message without even clarifying the purpose. If there ever was a move of a dictator and ta totalitarian state. This one is like the fashionable idea of a tyrant, who has to both spew the same message through your ear, in print and at primary education.
If Abiy wants to be a dictator, this is a clear message. At least to people like me. Than, I believe the dark ages will return and there will be less will to reform. As everything will revolve around him and his whims. That’s not a sign of reform, but a one-party state. Which was my worry, when the EPRDF consolidated into the Prosperity Party.
This sort of action is an act of that. A tyrant would be proud of Abiy for doing this. Therefore, I ask myself, is that the message Abiy want to send to the world? If so, he can be proud and if not he should scrap these sort of things as soon as possible. Unless, his so far up his own ass, that he cannot see the issues with this. I anticipate the last, because someone who does this got an ego higher than Mount Everest. Peace.
