It is just like there is no end to the troubles of Prime Minister Ahmed Ali Abiy. In the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia there is no peaceful corner. Where-ever you go, there is someone scheming to create instability. There is no peace and no mercy. Just a bunch of crisis upon crisis, and it never ends.
The Prime Minister have had his troubles in Oromia. Where he has arrested the Oromo Leadership. The Opposition leaders are starving and in critical condition in the prisons. As they are still awaiting trails after months of delay and waiting. The courts are just keeping them hostage as Political Prisoners with no end. The state is killing activists in the region and arresting them too. The state is also using all means to stop demonstrations and use force against them. That is something that has been done deliberately through the reign of Abiy. It just escalated when the Hachalu Hundessa was assassinated and the true colours of the state came to play. Since Abiy took power there been over 1800 fatalities done by the government on his watch. These are the remains and the deaths, which can all be attributed to his reign and their demise was in his hands as the head of state.
Just like there where fake-coups in Amhara. Where suddenly high ranking officials was taken out. In such a manner, that the Prime Minister could install his leadership and his men in power there. To ensure smooth sailing and have co-operative leadership there.
In the meantime there been conflict and usage of fatal force in Ogaden Region. The Somali region of the Ethiopia. Where the authorities have brutally gone after the opposition party Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF). Where the party is now struggling to convene and be able to select candidates ahead of the elections. As the central government of the state is going after it and stopping them from holding meetings. Even arresting high ranking officials who is working on the matter. Just like in Oromia, the state wants to control the candidates of the Ogaden.
If you would think this was to bad. No there is inter-communal skirmishes between the Ogaden and Afar region too. There is so much blood between the tribes. They are fighting between them and the state cannot settle it. They are letting these force fight between them and not stopping the bloodshed. It is just easing and seeing the destruction coming to pass.
Benishangul-Gumuz region have also been a region who been hard hit by Amhara militia and the army. Where several of massacres and escalating killings sprees been going-on. It is like a prolonged agony besides the biggest conflict in Ethiopia. There are now over 200,000 internally displaced people in the region and over 3,000 refugees who has fled to Sudan from here.
I have now mentioned several of regions, but not the one where the Law Enforcement Operations, which has been going on since early November 2020. Where the state and Eritrea claims Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) started, but still they had pre-planned movement of troops both on the Amhara borders and across into Eritrea. It seems like foul play to me…
While the state also wants to shutdown all reporting, media and communications in the region. Therefore, little access to information, while the state wants to hold media accountable. In the end, only wanting their propaganda out and dismiss other sources. There is no verified account of the possible range of fatalities. However, we do know that there been reports of up to 50,000 people have died since beginning of November. While over 60,000 people have fled the region to get to safe-haven in Sudan. There also been bombing and shelling of Mekelle. As well, as unknown amount of foreign troops (Eritrean and Somali) in Tigray.
Already before all of these recent escalated and rouge conflicts within the Republic. The WHO stated in March 2019 that it was close to reach a 1,000,000 IDPs inside Ethiopia. After what has happened in Afar, Oromia, Ogaden, Benishangul-Gumuz and Tigray. The numbers have surely soared up and gotten worse.
There is so much trouble for Abiy. So much of it is self-inflicted and because of self-interest to rule supreme. Get rid of all enemies and be crowned king. The man who was praised for peace, but is a bona fide War-Lord. That is who Abiy is and all the conflicts within his term proves it. All the fatalities and use of force on his own citizens.
Prime Minister Abiy needs to be accountable for all of this. He clearly tries to show power and strength. However, the only thing his creating is more casualties and fatalities within his term. There is just more death and destruction. So many people are hurt and in danger, because his army and allies are using military means to settle civilian matters. Peace.
