Ethiopia: If Ethiopians are joining the war in Ukraine – They are dying for a War that isn’t theirs to begin with…

Everyone now clearly understands that Russia and all Russians lie. Trying to recruit Ethiopian Youth, Russians do not tell anybody that as of April 18, 2022, over 20000 of RU invaders has already met their Death in Ukraine. Felt defeated in Ukraine, Russia insidiously tries to mislead and play its dirty games” (Embassy of Ukraine in Ethiopia, 18.04.2022).

Today in Addis Ababa there been long lines and queues outside of the Russian Embassy. As there are reports of a total of 2000 Ethiopian citizens that has signed up to fight on the Russian side of the Ukrainian conflict.

That is only mere reports that has been refuted by the Russians, but they are willing to lie about everything. While the Ukrainian Embassy in Addis Ababa says they are recruiting. The Ukrainians are the ones who is defending their territory and nation against the Russian-Belorussian invasion, which has lasted for over 50 days now.

It is very unique, if these Ethiopians join this war. This isn’t a world war and neither is a conflict that has spiralled outside of the borders of Ukraine. No, for now it is a Russian-Belarus-Ukraine thing for the most part. The Russians warns everyone else of not to move, think or coordinate. While the Russians has already gotten Syrian mercenaries and could easily try to conscript Ethiopians to fight their battles.

There is already reports that the Russians needs reinforcement badly. As on Job-Sites and Work-Offerings the Ministry of Defence is offering unique and patriotic-based contracts for the ones who is willing to sacrifice and fight for Russia in Ukraine. The Russian Federation and it’s army needs recruits. That is evident after all the losses and the total failure of the swift invasion, which was supposed to happen within 48 hours or three days…

However, here we are and Ethiopians are queueing outside the Embassy. Some is said to have with them a passport and documents to prepare visa’s and signing up to participate in the conflict. That means Ethiopians would fight on the Russian side of the conflict.

The ones that queueing today is supposed to part of Amhara Para-Military Group “Fano” which is supported by Amhara Regional State and been vital in the war against Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). Fano is the extremist and fascists of Ethiopia who has fought for Amharian supremacy and a Greater Amhara. So, they will fit well in with the Z brigade of Moscow and be in-line quickly with the Russian propaganda of Kremlin. Therefore, if that is true. It is a match made in Hell and not in Heaven.

Nevertheless, the Ethiopian mercenaries or conscripts is signing up for a war that isn’t theirs in the first place. They will not be honoured and be respected for their efforts. These will be cannon-fodder and die like flies on the front-line. The Ethiopian soldiers will not conquer or overcome Ukrainian forces. They will only be a temporary fix and a possible strategy of cutting the losses of the Russians own brigades.

The Ethiopian Youth and “Fano” might see this as a possible way of training, expertise and a possible pay-check. They rather fight a war far away and get credit for it. In such a way of leaving desperation at home to flee to “greener” pasture in Eastern Europe. However, they will bleed and die for nothing. The Russian will not honour their sacrifice or write tales of glory for their participation. No, they are just useful pawns on the chess-set and the first to catch a bullet for them.

The Ethiopian mercenaries will not linger much hope. When the Russians themselves has struggled and lead to many tactical defeats for the last 50 days. Why would Ethiopians make a huge difference? No, I don’t think so. Not because they are not warriors and cannot fight a battle. No, it is because of the conflict they would enter and the enemy they are meeting. It is not like it will be easy and be friendly. No, it will be brutal and they spare no one. Especially, the soldiers and the ones who is representing Russian invasion force.

That’s because the Ethiopian or “Fano” will be part of the invaders and an invasion. They are not part of the defence or the ones who is defending their homeland. No, they are going after Ukraine and on Ukrainian soil. That is a death wish and they will not return home as heroes. They are joining an imperial power and partaking in unjustified war. This is why nothing good will come out of it.

The ones signing up for this… is signing up for a death sentence and Moscow will not repay them. They are just taking a bullet for Kremlin and no love will ever be lost. These youths and Ethiopians will not return or be able to tell about the war they entered. Because, the Russians wouldn’t spare them. They are the ones they can risk and send to the front-line without any costs. Since, they signed up for it and they got to fight. There will be no option to flee or seek shelter. No, they are there to fight the cause of Russia.

A cause that will end up in caskets or not even that. They will be left behind on the battlefield and forgotten. A bloodshed and a sacrifice of a willing. Youth and Amhara militia members who fought a war that wasn’t theirs. The tears and losses will be felt by their families and loved ones. Who knew that they went and never heard from them again. Families and villages who saw their sons leave for war in Eastern Europe. Where they never returned from and only got a mantle or a signed off on war-grave. However, they will not return with stories of greatness or of adventures. No, they will be scorn, torn and bleed for a conflict, which wasn’t theirs and never will be theirs to begin with. They will be the lost souls and the sons of far away who could have lived life in peace and created a future in Ethiopia. Instead they sought after glory and a pay-off from Russia. A pay-off they will not receive. Since most of them will die before the Russian Federation or Ministry of Defence has to even care about their salaries. Peace.

BTW: It would make a difference, if the Amhara or Ethiopians joined the Ukrainian side either. This is a war for the soul of Europe and a war against European imperialism. Where the NATO/EU and Russia are on each side. As the Ukrainian are fighting for its own independence and sovereignty to join whatever entity or alliance it see fit. While Russians wants to have control of their neighbours. Which is why there is no natural reason or argument to defend the participation of Ethiopian Youth or “Fano” in either sides of the conflict in Ukraine. They will not be remembered or written tales of glory. No, they are mercenaries who will die in unmarked graves, which is undignified for their sacrifice, but an end, which is most likely to happen.

BTW II: Don’t say nobody didn’t warn you or didn’t write about it. Because, I did and I am concerned, because their lives matters. Just like all lives does and this was a death that could have been avoided. However, decisions are made and there is always consequences to the actions we make. Peace.

Ethiopia: The Afar Region is a target and possible new front against the Tigray Region

Happening NOW! 150 containers of ammunition are entering Afar through the Djibouti boarder accompanied by 12 patrols, under drone surveillance. We must act now to stop the looming war. Heavy ammunitions are being stocked up in Semera and there are reports of 100s of soldiers getting deployed to Zone 4 (Afar/Tigray border) earlier today. Abiy Ahmed Ali is preparing yet another bloody war while fooling the rest of the world. We must wake up. Act Now!” (Afar Federalist Diaspora Coordination Committee, 17.04.2022).

Emergency food assistance immediately needed to avert famine and starvation the following towns of northern Afar:

❗️Dallol

❗️Barhale

❗️Konnaba

❗️Abaala

❗️Magaale

❗️Eribti and areas

❗️Other towns and kebeles in northern Afar under the TPLF occupation” (Afar Watch, 17.04.2022).

The Afar Region is in the centre and is carrying a blunt of the forces of the region. The reports however is stating that the Afar Regions Special Forces and the Pastoralists themselves is fencing of the invaders of the region.

The Tigray Defence Force has attacked parts of the Afar region for months now. While Issa-Somali militia continues with steady skirmishes. It is also alleged that the Oromo Liberation Army has attacked the region during the last few days. Therefore, it is the centre of the conflict and a hot-spot of atrocities.

While there is no proof of new enforcement or recruits sent from other regions to back the Afar Region up. Neither is there any reports of the Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) sending troops there. There was reports during March and early April of troops moving closer to the Amhara borders towards the Tigray region. While there has been no new advances or escalation thereof.

We know the state have announced their Humanitarian Truce with the Tigray region, but that is hallow and haven’t been substantial. With the knowledge and basis of former acts of the Federal State. As the “offensive” in the Oromia would wind down. There could be a possible a re-enforcement and re-engagement in Tigray from Afar. As the TDF is already there and they have a front-line there.

That wouldn’t shock anyone. The problems of the region is only becoming worse. As the Afar region is becoming a war-zone and a conflict area. Where the guns is never silenced. Where the battles are made and the homes are destroyed. Villages burned and people killed, as result of the senseless killing on all sides. The war is brutal and no one is left untouched.

We know this is happening, just like the Afar People’s Party reported on the 13th April: According to the fire that happened in Samurobi Geleelu Woreda, 162 residential and commercial shops have been burned down. Information shows that the estimated property of more than 56 million birr has been destroyed. And this has put the people affected by war, drought and cost of life in a worse situation. The Afar People’s Party expresses its deepest condolences to the families of the victims of the accident. I kindly request all the people of our country, charity organizations and international accident prevention organizations to extend their support to the families that have been affected by this Ramadan month” (Afar People’s Party, 13.04.2022).

This isn’t an isolated incident, as the war is ravaging and the conflict is hurting more people. That why zones, villages and towns are damaged. The various armed groups is creating this hostile territory and the Federal Government isn’t supporting the Regional State. They have moved possible ammunition for an offensive. But who knows when that happens and when they reinforce the ENDF there.

We know it is legit when Amhara Para-Military Group “Fano” is sending brigades to the Afar region and the Eritrean Defence Force (EDF) has sent troops too. When that happens. Then you know a counter-offensive against the Tigray Defence Force (TDF) is in the works and on schedule. Until then, the rumours are circulating and sooner or later something is happening. Peace.

Ethiopia: UN Organizations celebrates mediocrity – Humanitarian Assistance Blockade still ravaging large in Tigray region

All 50 trucks just arrived safely in #Mekelle, bringing essential humanitarian supplies including:

➡️1,000mt of wheat & pulses

➡️700mt of health, nutrition & WASH items

+ 115,000 litres of fuel” (World Food Programme Ethiopia, 15.04.2022).

Since the humanitarian truce of 24th March 2022 and that is 22 days of supposed opening of entry to the Tigray region. However, previously there has only come about 21 trucks into the region early in April. Now by the middle of the month on the 15th April it has come another 50 trucks. The United Nations and World Food Programme (WFP) praising the FDRE over it is obnoxious. When you know how the state has been working and using food insecurity as a weapon.

The region by previous estimates of needs are 100 trucks per day. In the middle of only the humanitarian truce by now. It would mean the UN and WFP should have driven convoys of a 100, every single day. However, they are barely scraping that after two famous entries of about 75 trucks on max. That isn’t something to salute. In the time of the Humanitarian Truce the region should have seen about 2000 trucks and such. To be exact, the state should have ensured that the region could see 2200 trucks get into Tigray.

The recent OCHA reports states the situation like this:

Humanitarian partners have not been able to move any additional aid supplies into Tigray via the Semera-Abala-Mekelle since the convoy of 20 trucks with food and nutrition supplies and one fuel tanker that arrived on 1 and 2 April, the first convoy since 15 December 2021. Humanitarian organizations in Tigray are facing growing challenges in reaching people in need due to shortages of essential supplies, and the continuing suspension of basic essential services, including banking, electricity, and communications. Food partners, for instance, remain with only around 1,300 metric tons (MT) of food commodities within Tigray out of which, there is merely enough stock or 360 MT to feed about 21,000 people with a balanced three-commodity food basket for one round. Between 4 and 8 April, humanitarian partners airlifted 100 MT of nutrition and medical supplies to Mekelle, Tigray. As of 11 April, the total amount of medical and nutrition supplies airlifted since the first cargo flight on 24 January is about 538 MT, equivalent to only 13 trucks of humanitarian supplies. The supplies included about 36 MT of HIV anti-retroviral medicines, the first time since July 2021. This will be enough to treat 46,000 HIV patients for six months. The airlifts remain limited to low quantities between 5 and 13 MT per flight and were prioritized according to the most urgent lifesaving needs, therefore cannot fill in the significant gap between the needs on the ground and the supplies delivered” (OCHA, 14.04.2022).

More than 9 million people need food assistance in northern Ethiopia and food assistance will be required throughout 2022 across northern Ethiopia. Provision of food assistance in hard-to-reach areas in Tigray, Amhara and Afar. Increased food needs due to increased number of IDPs in parts of Amhara and in Afar” (OCHA, 14.04.2022).

So, when you read what the last round of humanitarian assistance was able to help, which is about 21,000 people. You know the amount of trucks of humanitarian assistance versus the needs of the millions of people. It is easy to see the gaps which is enormous. This just shows how the humanitarian assistance have been weaponized and it’s a man-made famine.

The entries of the about the 75 trucks is only an anomaly and only patches the hurt, but it doesn’t fix the problems. This isn’t something to celebrate or sound victories. No, this is just disgraceful and shows how distasteful the FDRE are. The FDRE and Tripartite Alliance has created this monster, they are proud of blocking people’s ability to eat and starve them on-mass. That’s why they have allowed 75 trucks in a period the state should have seen over 2000 trucks should have entered the same area. That’s how unserious and careless they are about the plights of the Tigray region. The Addis Ababa and Asmara ruling elites wouldn’t care if Mekelle would burn to the ground and be left in the dust. That is what they are doing and we are not supposed to say anything.

The 75 trucks isn’t worth texts of gravitas and sending pigeons to Bahir Dar. No, it deserves contempt, as much contempt as the current regime has for the Tigray region. Peace.

Ethiopia: FDRE Government Communication Service – In the past two days, more than 50 trucks carrying food items and fuel departed from Semera heading to Tigray (14.04.2022)

Ethiopia: Amhara National Regional State – Statement on the Joint Investigation Report of Amnesty International and the Human Rights Watch (11.04.2022)

Ethiopia: Abiy – How many parts of the Republic do you want to burn?

The Tigray region has been besieged for months, humanitarian assistance weaponized and a man made famine. While parts of Afar region is war-toned. The Western Tigray is burned, looted and a genocidal affair to get annexed by the Amhara region. While Northern Wollo has been destroyed and gotten war-torn as well.

In addition, the Republic has ensured to stifle, silence and got after dissidents with an iron fist in any region. The Ogaden or Somali Region there been no remorse and an absolute will to arrest, detain and keep political prisoners. The same can be said about regions too. There is really no where to find solace or peace.

The last few days… there is a new offensive to annihilate the Oromo Liberation Front/Army in Oromia. As there are several parts of Regional Special Forces, which are used to destroy the OLF/OLA. The most prominent is the usage of Somali RSF and they are the ones that is shown in pictures online.

While the blood is shed in Oromia. There is planned escalations and continuing the conflict in Tigray. As there are reports of troops moving into Afar and plans of invading it from there. That will be done with ENDF and Eritrean Defence Forces. Therefore, the Tripartite Alliance is still alive.

The Amhara Para-Military Group “Fano” is practically everywhere too. It has become a vital part of the army and the national ideals, the ethnocentric and Amhara nationalist unit. This is being not only deployed in Western Tigray and part of the campaigns there. It can be launched into other regions on behalf of the Amhara Regional State. That is how they do it to fight the battles of Amhara. This is why the prospects of a greater Amhara and Amhara centric views on the rise. Just like the Tigrayan and the Tigray People Liberation Front (TPLF) was the front of the EPRDF era.

The Prosperity Party which is the unified one-party made out the EPRDF without TPLF has become this. The PP has installed their puppets, their hand-picked leaders and representatives in an election. Which was the perfect selection and with no real opposition. Only the parties that could be seen as branches of the PP or who would work with the PP. That’s why the PP even let some of them become appointed to the cabinet too after the election.

Now, that you know this. It makes sense that the puppets of the regions are fighting the battles of Addis Ababa and Bahir Dar. They are fighting these crusades to get the pure regions. Certainly, just like the same folks has intended to bury and silence the Tigray for eternity. They are now ceasing an opportunity to let the Oromia burn. In such a manner, that gives further prospects of grandeur of the Amhara. The Somali regional President also got to show support and he can later get help to get rid of the ONLF, once and for all too. When the Federal Government is done with TPLF and OLF/OLA.

Everywhere Abiy touches, he burns and destroys. He doesn’t build or create peace. No, everywhere he is ensure death and bloodshed. There is only death and no possible way of peaceful future. It is only more destruction and devastation. It is no rest and everywhere there is dissidents, rebellion or possible revolts. The state will address it with blunt force and no remorse.

The Abiy regime will not bring hope of a better tomorrow. That is proven by the Tigray civil-war and how it has been done. The achievements of the state proves this and they will be remembered for the Medemer Terror. Just like the Derg was known for the Red Terror. Every village, town and zone is getting touched. It will be remembered, because somewhere and someone people know was scorned. The people was touched, hit and hit with plights of the terror of Abiy. That’s what his offering… while promising peace and prosperity. He promises reforms and grandeur, but comes with guns and ammunition. Abiy doesn’t come with dialogue or talks… no… everyone is to follow his orders and bow down to his greatness. If not… they are supposed to follow the directives and his leaders, which is puppets of his will. That’s why as long as this is happening. The destruction will continue and the plights will not be easier to carry.

It will be damages for generations to come. The costs will be enormous and the lack of trust in the Federal Government will linger on. The pains and the lost will be told about in tales. They will be martyrs of the Medemer Terror. That is the reality here. Just like ones that lost their lives for the Red Terror. The ones who fell now and fallen in the campaigns of the government will be remembered like this.

Just like people despised and felt betrayed by the Tigrayan minority and rule. The same fate will befall on the Amhara and the PP. That’s because the path it has chosen. Instead of building a better tomorrow. It has now ensured prolonged agony and hurt. The wars that Abiy wages doesn’t seem to have an end. Neither does the promise of swift endings either. That’s why he has so many names and protocols, but they never succeed. This is because the army and the government his running isn’t capable or have the will of the people to win it. These wars aren’t justified and this is why his slowly losing.

The blood is on his hands and he has nowhere to hide. The military fatigue and the proclamations will not do anything. It will only show his thirst for more and he will continue to he has annihilated anyone who could stand in his past of total supremacy. Peace.

Ethiopia: A new offensive is planned from the Afar region to attack the Tigray Region

“Over 300,000 northern #Afar living under trees, herded by the terrifying sound of artillery.” As of March 8, 43,000 Konnoba Afar fleeing into the last remaining “safe” land are under the threat of dying of thirst.” – Afar Pastoralist Development Association (APDA, 10.04.2022).

ACT NOW to prevent more bloodshed in Ethiopia. Eritrean general Humed Karkari, and Awel Araba have signed a military agreement on 4/7/2022. They are fully positioned to launch a new offensive against Tigray. In the meantime 6 milion Tigrayans continue to suffer under the humanitarian blockade and the threat of extermination and IDPs in Afar continue to suffer from lack of basic humanitarian support from the government. ACTNOW and save lives” (Afar Federalist Diaspora Coordination Committee, 10.04.2022).

General Semeon Gebredingil who manages Eritrea’s internal security, police, immigration and airport security is also now in Addis Ababa. Eritrea not only is making top military decisions in Afar but has infiltrated the federal government of Ethiopia. As long as Eritrea continues to operate in Ethiopia, war will be inevitable and peace impossible” (Afar Federalist Diaspora Coordination Committee, 10.04.2022).

All roads at this moment are going towards Asayita, as the Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) and Eritrean Defence Force (EDF) is planning a new joint effort to invade and conquer the whole Tigray region. The recent reports are stating so and there been troop movement to the Afar region and the border zones of the Amhara region.

Alas, the secrecy of the planned attack and offensive on Tigray has been out there for awhile. It is just that the voices of Afar region is saying it. The latest release of a few trucks into the Tigray region. Wasn’t really any real humanitarian truce, but instead it was a smokescreen.

Since they are planning a new offensive and has an agreement to do so. The allies are doing it yet again and will do so soon. The people of Afar and the organizations there know it. The ones following the movement of troops. See it, hear it and the war-drums are returning.

The Tigray Defence Force (TDF) have attacked the Afar Region for awhile, but that will also be a front for the Tigray, as they are defending their region. Therefore, it was a strategically move, which has hurt innocent Afar people and hundreds of thousands are internally displaced.

The Tigray region is starving, in a famine and it’s man made. The Afar organizations are even asking to save the millions of Tigrayan people. While they are meeting the blunt force of the TDF, as they are defending their region.

However, we should soon anticipate an announcement and the Prime Minister Abiy in military fatigue. Where he promised to “liberate” and “end the TPLF” once and for all. That is what is coming and with the knowledge of Afar. We should see this happening sooner or later. Because, the Federal Government have prepared together with Eritrea another offensive. Peace.

Ethiopia: A “Final Offensive” have been launched against OLA in Oromia

There are now reports that on the 9th April 2022 that the Federal Government have initiated a “Final Offensive” or a “Final Comprehensive War” against the Oromo Liberation Front/Army (OLF/OLA) in the Oromia Region.

The ones on the Federal side of spectrum is the Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF), Oromia Regional Special Forces, Somali (Ogaden) Regional Special Forces, Sidama Regional Special Forces and Amhara Regional Special Forces. These are the ones that is coordinated and sent to go against the OLF/OLA in Oromia. There are two more forces that is also reported to be involved, these are the Somali Region Para-Military Police “Liyu” and Amhara Para-Military Force “Fano”. Therefore, the Federal Government have really pulled all strings to get enough troops to participate in this here offensive.

There reports of air-raids and also of civilian casualties, especially from the Somali (Ogaden) RSF involvement in the offensive within Oromia. However, the scale and such of atrocities is unknown at the moment. The reports are scattered and hard to come by.

The Federal Government initiative is fighting on several of fronts and the possibilities of civilian casualties is endless. As well, as the lack of concern of them from the Central Government. That’s why the OLF/OLA has risen to prominence in the Prosperity Party era.

The plan of the government is to eliminate the OLF/OLA from Wollega, Guji, Western and North Shoa. Also, it is not enough the Colonel or Prime Minister was wearing military fatigue as he promised the end of OLF/OLA in Oromia. This has been promised before and that was a 15 day campaign. He has doubled the response time, but it won’t make much difference.

The only thing that we can be rest assured with… is that the innocent civilians will be caught in the cross-fire, more devastation will happen and atrocities sponsored by the Federal Government. Because, that is what the PP has to offer. Especially, when it wages war against a region and their opponents there.

Nothing good will come out of this. Only more bloodshed… Peace.
