“If glass is contaminated and cannot be cleaned by washing, the only option is to break the glass” (Natnael Mekonnen, 23.08.2023).
We have heard similar stories from the Prosperity Party before and in regard to other regional states or ethnicities. This here sort of talk isn’t new under the reign of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali. At one point the PP official public record stated this: “to eliminate the fish we need to drain the sea” that was in correlation of the conflict and warfare in Oromia. Which meant the PP was ready to act in genocidal tendencies and wipe out an entire population. That’s the gist of things.
Now that the PP has another conflict and its spiralling out of control. We have seen this before and the rhetoric isn’t new. Just like the PP said these things about Oromia. There was similar statements and talk while the war in Tigray was going on. Therefore, the Prosperity Party is consistent in the talk of bloodshed, massacres and will to annihilate people.
In 2023 the Federal Republic should be better, but apparently the same means are used. The same tricks of the trade. The same evil is apparently in the open. Addis Ababa and the PP are not compromising. No, they have their offensives and their special missions, which inflicts more harm, plight and total destruction. They come with ammunition, guns, tanks and drones. The ENDF isn’t saving anything and leaving anything to chance. No, they are burning the place to the ground and to set yet another example.
The Amhara region is just entering their phase of Medemer Terror. They participated in the Medemer terror in the Tigray region. They cheered and was happy to be a part of it. The Amhara region enjoyed the spoils and the prominence. They thought they were unique and had a loyal ally in Abiy.
However, just like Abiy needed to make the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) into beggars and “yes-men”. He needs the extremists and the nationalists of Amhara to do the same. The PM needs to consolidate and takeover all power. He yearns for the control and the final say. As the PM don’t mind the consequences or the costs. The results and the end-game that matters to him. That the militias, the para-military and the ones who fought with him is bowing their knees to him. This is all his seeking and that they join his army on his conditions. That’s what the gist of the things are and they rebelled against him. Because, they didn’t want to be under the spell and be token solider of Abiy. No, the Amhara Regional Special Forces and Fano wanted more, they wanted a say and they thought they had the right for it. However, their alliance was short-sighted and only for personal gains of Abiy. As he got the TPLF to beg for mercy. Therefore, he could now swing the swords against the ones who fought with him.
With that in mind, Mekonnen says these words. As we know Abiy is a warlord and a man who thrives in conflict. He earns his political capital by killing, slaughtering and destroying regions. That’s how he shows force and get his will done. The citizens are paying the price. The ones on the front-lines are buried. The ones who dares to challenge him stops breathing too. There are so many victims and so many who has been scorned. This will be a generational curse and take decades to rebuild.
The violent years of Abiy will cause harm for the next generation and possibly the one after that too. As there are so many who has fought and so many who was injured. There was so many who died and the total costs of doing so will be paid by the next generation. That’s just how these things goes. The grandfathers fought so the their grandchildren can pay their debt.
Amhara is facing that now. The PP and the allies of Addis Ababa is ready to use the same rhetoric and talking points. They are talking of annihilating a region again. The Amhara people are now feeling and hearing the same they talked about Tigray or Oromia. That shows how fickle things are and how little value life has in Ethiopia. When leaders, the ones appointed or elected are speaking in this manner. This is endangering people and sending signals of genocidal affairs. That isn’t just worrying, but alarming. Which is tragic that this isn’t new, but just repeating itself.
The PP is a party of war and they are now brutally assaulting Amhara region just to prove a point. Peace.
