“Addis Ababa, November 2, 2021 (FBC) – The Council of Ministers has declared nationwide state of emergency effective Tuesday November 2, 2021. The council discussed current latest developments in the county. Justice Minister, Gedewon Temotiwos jointly with the Government Communications Service Minister, Legese Tulu is currently briefing the media on latest developments. The State of Emergency is aimed to protect civilians from atrocities being committed by the terrorist TPLF Group in several parts of the country. The House of Peoples Representatives is expected to approve the State of Emergency with in 24 hours” (Fana Broadcasting Company – ‘Council of Ministers declares nationwide state of emergency’ 02.11.2021).
Just the messages from all the high ranking officials, all government bodies and everyone involved in the government apparatus seems to be stationed in the “survival campaign”. The Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) ‘finale’ offensive this late October and early November have been fatal. The Tripartite Alliance has failed and the Federal Government is in paranoia mode.
Long are the days of hope, dreaming of greatness and greener pastures. Those days are long. The war-pact between Asmara-Addis Ababa – Bahir Dar has been clear. This alliance forged in hatred and revenge has caused all of this bloodshed. Instead of seeing the prospects and the possible betterment for the next generation. These leaders has caused harm that will last for decades and maybe even more. As people have perished, starved, killed, massacred and blatantly been violated.
This war that was ordered last November will forever be a stain. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali had everything at his fingertips. He was the man of the hour and with a brilliant future ahead of him. However, he decided together with Eritrean President Isaias Afewerki to squander that away in a senseless war. Rather then mend the bridges and find a common ground. He rather destroy his enemies and silence them. However, he and his allies underestimated them. That’s why we are at this cross-roads now. He could prepare the armies surrounding the Tigray region in the year of 2020. Abiy could fix the Amhara Para-Military Group “Fano” to be a stand-by force and go with his troops. Send the mechanical brigades to the borders. Fly in troops across the border into Eritrea to attack from several of fronts. Just to bushwhack and take control quickly of the Tigray region. Which he did and promised the end of the war in late November 2020. Nevertheless, the whole war backfired and his now on the losing end of the stick.
Abiy is now asking the youth and the ones who can to register their weapons. Be mentally prepared and defend his war. While they are meeting trained soldiers and guerrilla fighters from two well trained armies. The Tigray Defence Force and Oromo Liberation Army. These two in combination of the other united armies will be hard to defeat. As they are all a collective of armies willing and fighting to end the reign of Abiy.
Abiy has in no time been able to usher in the “medemer” terror. Some have called the Derg 2.0, which is a really dark age come to life. Where he arrested, detained, tortured and killed dissidents. The PM has gone after and silenced his enemies, one by one and hope to trick the world of his reforms. This the work of Abiy and he haven’t even tried to conceal it either. The state has targeted the leadership of Oromia and later gone to genocidal war against the Tigray. There has been left nothing to chance and the bloodshed is evident. The imminent reckoning is awaiting him.
What is tragic and sincerely foolish is how he squandered a moment and a momentum for change. Abiy could have transformed and made something out of himself. He could easily become a generational leader. This man had it in him and he knew how to portray himself. Alas, his ego and fragile character couldn’t handle opposition. That’s why he had to go to the trenches to settle his grudges. Instead of settling the possible mischief and misunderstanding by negotiating with the other parties. That is something he never the courage or character too. He only tricked his opponents before taking down, one by one.
Abiy will be known for lies and deception. The PM will not go down in history as a great leader. No, he will go down as a tyrant and dictator. The man who spoke of peace, but delivered war. A war-lord and a bloodthirsty at that. There is no other way around it.
Abiy started his reign by promising the end of “state of emergency”. Where he would release the political prisoners of the Oromo leadership and end the violence in the region. Alas, he has now ensured the whole Federal Republic is under a “state of emergency”. The same leadership is behind bars and a bloody violent conflict is haunting him. Instead of reforming and causing peace. The man has caused more conflict and harm. That is his legacy and that is terror.
Prime Minister Abiy has destroyed every path ahead and his enemies does not want to meet around the table. As Abiy have tricked and lied to leaders before. Later he has arrested and charged them with terrorism or treason. Therefore, keeping them detained for months and years on end without any evidence produced in that matter. Because of their “supposed” grave crimes.
This is just a tragedy and so many lives is at stake. Abiy has to answer for this and his decisions is responsible for this. His orders and decrees have ensured more people will die. The blockade of Tigray region and the genocidal means will never be forgotten. That was his choice and will tarnish legacy. Just like the war itself and the war-pact he made with Afewerki. Because, it doesn’t seem like these two talked peace, but planned for a war.
That is why Abiy have assassinated the ones who stood in his way in Amhara region and he also tried to send commandos to silence the leaders of Tigray. Therefore, he will be known for all of this. All of the deaths, the murders and the misuse of power. Will all haunt him and you can wonder where he will end up. If he doesn’t flee the Republic. You can wonder where he can stay in exile and become a pariah leader who will be remember for his blood-thirst.
This is not the story Abiy wants to tell. He wants the planting trees, controlling rain and in general prosperity for Ethiopia. However, the blood, the sweat and the tears will be the story that will linger on until eternity. Peace.
