Ethiopia: Abiy – the time for “trial and error” is upon us

This is a time of trial and error. Everyone will be tested until the test is over. We must all adapt our lives to the time of trial until our problems are resolved quickly and we return to normal life. Waiting for things to happen in peace, like the time of peace, will only shorten the time of peace and bring it to an end. A state of emergency was declared to shorten the period of tribulation and to provide a time of solution. Therefore, I call on all citizens to play their part in upholding the provisions of the proclamation, cooperating with law enforcement agencies to carry out their duties efficiently and providing the necessary assistance” (Abiy Ahmed Ali, 02.11.2021).

The Prime Minster Abiy is clearly in a stage of grief and in huge trouble. His arrogant and nonchalant manners wasn’t in this text. This was a three part message on Twitter. Where he outlined a positive message, because of the new “National State of Emergency” measure, which isn’t shocking at all.

This is done to stifle all movement and have Command Post with armed forces scattered around the country. Have roadblocks and stop people from socializing, demonstrating or even be much in public. We know that most constitutional rights falls to the side when there is a “martial law” which the “state of emergency” is. Therefore, the Federal Government is doing what it can to “secure” control. Though the army is destroyed and the enemies are advancing. Everyone who is off of age or can carry a weapon to enlist in the army and get training. That’s just says it all and how depleted the Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) is. Because, they wouldn’t ask for all eligible to enlist, if they had troops awaiting to join the front. Also, total access to house-search without warrants or have all the rights of the authorities to arrest someone on the suspicious of cooperating with a terrorist group or outfit. No need for court orders or such. The state has the rights to detain, charge and punish the ones it deems connected to a terrorist organization.

That’s why it’s striking that he says the law enforcement have to carry out their duties, but you can wonder if these are the next in line to go to the fronts. Where the armies are encircling them. As Oromo Liberation Army have proclaimed “Finfinne” or Addis Ababa as the next destination. They know they have the masses and troops to do so. We just don’t know how long it will take and how many civilians who will caught between the front-lines and the capital. As the Federal Government asks for everyone to enlist and join in the “survival campaign”. That is sending innocent civilians and untrained personnel to the slaughter, which is devious of the culprits at the helm. They know better, but they want to win by any means. Even when they should surrender and beg for parley.

Abiy got nothing to win now. That’s how it seems. Everything he built has been destroyed and nothing will be left behind. Except for lies and empty promises of greatness. This man had the world by the balls and diminished himself. Be a full fledge tyranny and live out the paranoia of the Prime Minister. Who will now use the “State of Emergency” to use force with a vengeance on the ethnic group of Tigrayans and salvage whatever he can. As the final days of his reign is on him.

It is just a matter of time now and how long the Tigray Defense Force and the Oromo Liberation Army has before it enters and takes over. Since, the ENDF is a ghost of what it was. That is just the mere reality and this is why the state needs “martial law” to exists. This is the only way it can monitor or have some sort of control of the population. Expect innocent Tigrayan and “terrorist” suspects to be violated, harassed and killed by these measures. As the state revenge the losses and the failure on the front-line. The final offensive seems like the death blow and everything else is now an agony towards the final breath. We just don’t know how this marathon will end.

Everyone just have a feeling the balloon is out of air and will sooner or later fall to the ground without much force. That is how things are perceived and it just a matter of time now. The time of “trial or error” is over. This is just a temporary timeline before the end. We just waiting for the final salute and the marching bands on the street celebrating the end of this war. Peace.

Ethiopia: Oh, the Mighty have Fallen

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.

Ethiopia: The Global Society of Tigrai Scholars (GSTS) – Urgent Call for Protection of Tigrayans under Genocidal Attacks (01.11.2021)

Opinion: Abiy will soon fight goblins and white walkers

Party affiliated FanaBC reported that Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has briefed senior government officials on current affairs. The portal said the “PM has confirmed that black and white nationals of non-Ethiopian descents have participated in the war and made sacrifices with the terrorist group.” (Addis Standard – ‘NEWS ALERT: PM ABIY SAYS NON-ETHIOPIAN NATIONALS JOINED TPLF FORCES IN WELLO’ 01.11.2021).

Well, the strategic warfare and the bloody brilliance of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali is on full display these days. That what’s hubris and arrogance does to you. Instead of taking losses on the chin and trying to find new possible measures to get the upper-hand. This Prime Minister is instead taking on a tin-foil hat and singing to Alex Jones slogans of “gay-frogs” and whatnot.

There is a clear indication that the Tigray Defence Force and Oromo Liberation Army is doing better than anyone could anticipate at the moment. The Tripartite Alliance and it’s armies are in shambles. The Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) must have weakened beyond imagination. While the Eritrean Defence Force and Amhara Para-Military Group “Fano” cannot support the ENDF enough. While the Republican Guards are filling in the void in Afar Region. Alas, there is only Regional Special Forces and minor brigades retreating from the battlefield and the fronts.

That’s why the PM is so shocked and in a horrific state. Not that he doesn’t have dangerous rhetoric or use of words. This man is a manipulator and magician when it comes to words. He has also lied so much. That it’s hard to know when he speaks the truth. PM Abiy is only blindly followed by the cadre brigades and the token naive soldiers who is willing to die for his arrogance and abundance of promises, which will end in utter disaster.

That’s why he has to go to “Narnia”, “Wakanda” and whatever “Neverland”. He has to visit the wall and await the “winter is coming”. Since the “White Walkers” are soon coming over the gates and brining hell to the local communities of the North. Therefore, he just have to believe in Goblins and other mystical beasts interfering in this war. Since, he couldn’t have lost without foreign interference and support of the TDF. Because, the TDF and their allies within the realm couldn’t be wise and outsmart him. No, because Abiy is closest mankind have ever come to Einstein.

Well, he lied about so many things. He speaks of foreign interference while we are supposed to forget the Iranian drones, the United Arab drones, the Turkish drones, Eritrean trained Somali brigade and whoever else who sold him military equipment during the war. Also, the main supply and helping hand in the Eritrean Defence Forces (EDF). The “war-pact” surely paid of early for Asmara, but we are not sure how it will be in the long-con.

So, the PM should talk for himself about the sovereignty and the influence of outsiders into the conflict. However, these sorts of things are never an issue for him. Since these are … well… beneficial for him and giving him advantage. Therefore, it doesn’t matter, but if the opponent had done the same. It would been a betrayal of the Republic. Which is a ridiculous idea. He just want a case for “imperialism” and “white saviour syndrome” as he has battled humanitarian assistance, as well as the “wheat aid”. So, this is a pattern from the head of state as the battles are souring for him.

With this in mind, he close associates better get him back to reality and out of the closet. Heck, ensure he doesn’t watch “Squid Game” or anything else. God knows what sort of ideas he might get. They will not be healthy or wise. It will just be more delusional ideas of enriching his hatred towards his enemies. While he cannot explain or come with proper evidence to prove so. The White Walkers is knocking on the Wall. The North is rising and ready address it and ready to attack King’s Landing. Peace.

Ethiopia: Several high ranking officials is calling the people to arms – Abiy have created a real crisis

Yesterday, the Amhara Regional State Council issued an “State of Emergency” as the Tigray Defence Forces and Oromo Liberation Army is advancing in the region. The Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) and its allies is clearly losing on the battlefield. That is why they are either retreating or perishing. Alas, there is some real trouble ahead.

The Amhara Prosperity Party in a press release today stated: “Since the season of survival war is going on, we need to accept the call of the regional government for survival and be prepared and organized and respond properly to the enemy. To do this, it is expected to work with the leaders at every step, to carefully follow the false propaganda, and to take action based on the direction set by the government, to build the youth mentally and accept the call of the government to join the survival campaign” (Amhara Prosperity Party, 01.11.2021).

Today, there is new calls to arms and the state associated media like Fana Broadcasting Company is ending most of their published content on social media with:

“Take care of your environment!

Kick it to the front!

Support the military!” (Fana Broadcasting Company, 01.11.2021).

When those slogans are on every single piece they publish. You know something is up and that the state is dire straits. They wouldn’t call for this, if everything was all good…

We know things are bad when the Prosperity Party Head Office for Oromia Fekadu Tessema called for the Oromo youth to enlist to the war. Ordin Bedri, the President of Harari region have also recited this stance to join the campaign. Also, the Addis Ababa city administration mayor Adanech Abebe called for the youth to enlist. In the same manner, the party office leader for the Somali region, Mohammed Shale who also called for people of the region to support the defence force.

To follow all the calls the arms, Government Communications Service Head Legesse Tulu said: “He warned that government keeps on taking measures on those who are working, in collaboration with divisive forces like the TPLF, to ‘disassemble’ the country. He has also urged Ethiopians living in TPLF occupied places to continue their struggle with the junta until they are liberated from the terrorist with the backing of their fellow compatriots” (Fana Broadcasting Company – TPLF Sympathizers Should Keep Their Hands Off: Government¨, 01.11.2021).

All of these here is a clear indication of the overdrive and the sudden change of pace, as the state and the federal government are on “high alert” after the advances. They are in whole new mode and modus operandi. That’s why they are calling out everyone and especially the youth to enlist in many regions. That says it all really. While they want the people to kick it to the front.

The Amhara region is in their “survival campaign” and others are following suit. This is a dangerous territory in combination with the hate-speech and the targeting of the Tigrayan ethnic group within the other regions. This will only be amplified with the losses on the frontlines and used as a retaliation, as every single one of them is seen as traitors and collaborators with the enemy, which cannot be proven by any courts, but only by the word of mouth. Therefore, the next few days are worrying and extremely dangerous, as the state is all in now and going into a new stage of warfare. Which could mean even more untrained civilians who happened to be enlisted will be sent to the frontlines and become next killed soldier in this brutal war. A conflict of hubris and arrogance, a war of one party wanting supreme control and another one wanting to settle old grudges. Now, the Prosperity Party and its allies are losing. Therefore, they are calling for the untrained youth to save the day. It’s pathetic and tragic, as the future of the Republic is being sacrificed so one man’s war can succeed. Peace.

Ethiopia: Looking into Prime Minister Abiy’s statement of “We fight the bitter struggle, we will enjoy the sweet victory”

Today, as the warfare is continuing and the state is suffering big-blows in the Amhara region. The Amhara State Council did nearly simultaneously order a “state of emergency” in their “survival campaign” as the Prime Minister Abiy dropped his statement on Facebook called: “We fight the bitter struggle, we will enjoy the sweet victory”. The Prime Minister have dropped similar texts before, but now it’s more dire and that shows in his rhetoric too.

Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali started his statement with this:

The terrorist group TPLF, a bad boy that put a problem on his mother, is still a problem for Ethiopia. The hate propaganda has inspired the forces that have gathered and pushed the country to destroy the country. The military forces and the attack on the motherland have been united was lined up to defend the attack on Ethiopia. The enemy is trying to attack by trying his ultimate strength so that our army is not to be supported by earth and air” (Abiy, 31.10.2021).

Just like always, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) is the problem and his saying they are the “problem child” of the “motherland”. The motherland is defending it’s attack and retaliating that. While claiming the Tigray Defence Forces (TDF) are there to destroy the country, which is striking. Considering what the Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) and their allies has been up to since November 2020. These forces has vandalized, destroyed, raped and massacred. These forces are responsible for the man-made famine and the weaponized starvation of the Tigray Region. So, the PM is defending these efforts while blaming his enemy of the all the ills of the Republic. Typical projection, which is very common from the FDRE communications.

He continues: “In the coming times, the enemy will gather the remaining forces and attack similar attacks. We should be aware that the source of strength of the enemy is our weakness and forgetfulness. We should be aware and cooperate and protect it. Our abundance becomes strength when we unite and stand together. Our separation is comfortable for the enemy. With the propaganda that we are disturbed, it will not benefit anyone unless it is that. If we can listen to each other and cooperate with each other, the enemy’s power that starts to fear will kneel down; like a thread, the desire that is broken will be stressed. The herd that came to destroy the country may disturb the power that was created to save the country, but they can’t defeat it” (Abiy, 31.10.2021).

Abiy always speaks of unified mission, as this mission was an survival mission and a final ending. The sort of “do or die” sort of operation. Prime Minister must hate the TPLF so badly and want revenge with all of his heart. That he went into this with vengeance. The PM is claiming the TDF will destroy and at the same time only disturb the Republic. It is just like he cannot see the losing streak changing the narrative. The TDF is advancing and the ENDF and allies is losing at this very moment. That is why everyone is supposed to work with the government and not anyone else.

However, the PM is forgetful about the actions done to the ones and woredas who has been invaded. The sieges and blockade of utilities in the areas of which the TDF has taken over gotten the same treatment, as the state did in the Tigray region. Therefore, why risk joining the state, if it leaves you behind, because it cannot defend you?

He asks the citizens to die for the cause:

If we all play our part before we get disturbed by the challenges we face, the time will not be far away. If we are just asking for the opposite actions, our victory will be delayed. The responsibility of protecting the country from violence is not for a few but for all of us. What does every citizen expect from me? What the hell am I doing? It needs to be said. There is no reason for others to die for his safety, for him to have peace, for him to live in peace, for his work and profit. The country has a soul that stands on its two legs, by the contribution that everyone has, from the river, from the blood, and from the bones. For Ethiopia, the responsibility of dying is ours, but there is no other person to be expected to die a different death. Therefore, our people should hold the defense issue for a while, to protect, destroy and bury the terrorist TPLF that has come to destroy it. This great people have won great historical challenges not by standing on the side of watching or sitting satisfied with a few victories. We won the attacks that we have been against is by standing together for our country” (Abiy, 31.10.2021).

The PM is asking the public and the citizens to take to arms, as the challenge is upon them and the responsibility of the citizens to defend the Republic. Now, the PM is saying that the citizen should sacrifice their lives to stop the TDF from advancing. That means his sending untrained civilians … to defeat the troops and the trained soldiers in a losing war. This means the PM is willing to sacrifice the living citizens to die for his conflict and doing that for his cause. That is really the message the here. I wonder, would the PM sacrifice himself on the battlefield with his army? Well, I doubt he would, as he would rather flee and not be on the front-line.

He continues and ends with this: “We should believe that we can cover up any evil act by following our ancestors’ heroic quest. The challenges we face now may seem unsuccessful and complicated. But it’s not more difficult than the suffering our ancestors saw. The key is to stand together, listen carefully and move together. If we do this, the previous generation can protect the country and transfer it to us, we will also make Ethiopia respected and inherit it to the next generation. Even though the noise and gossip is encouraged, I call on us to stand today with focus, and to protect Ethiopia from violence without any confusion. Ethiopia should be respected and respected by the efforts of her children. May she live forever!! May God bless Ethiopia and her people!” (Abiy, 31.10.2021).

Abiy here speaks of heroics and a grand past of the Ethiopian Republic. That is sort of tale he has used before. As there are many stories and tales of wonders, which has happened in the rich history of Ethiopia. It is undeniable to say otherwise. However, this war is neither heroic or grand. It was a mission of hubris and arrogance of which has backfired epically. Abiy isn’t the hero, but the villain in it and he asks for the children, the future and the this generation to shield the next one. He wants this generation to take arms and protect it. Meaning, he wants people to be armed and ready to go war. That is what the message is today and with the knowledge of the advances in Amhara region.

The PM is following the line of the FDRE Government Communications Service earlier texts in the day. He is just trying to amplify that. This is really evident by this and it is a clear message. Peace.

Ethiopia: The Federal Government is sending out another “War-Cry”

War Cry: a cry used by a body of fighters in war” ( “War cry.” Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/war%20cry. Accessed 31 Oct. 2021.).

Today, as the Tigray Defense Force (TDF) and the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) has both advanced their forces within the Amhara region. The TDF has entered Kombolcha and OLA have captured Kemise. The allies are able to strike real harm and danger in the region, which has been vital to the warfare in the Tigray region. It is also the ones that has been allied with the Federal Government and served with militias to attack the opponents of the state. Therefore, today’s message is epic when you know the troubles, which is ahead for the Federal Government.

The war-cry is from the FDRE Government Communication Service and it’s called “Let’s fight the terrorist and the messengers together!”. This was published today on the 31st October 2021 and after the fall of these strategic towns in the Amhara region.

The message started with this:

The main aim of the invading TPLF terrorist group and came to Wollo is clearly known. The main purpose of this herd was to rob the city and to get heavy weapons from our defense forces. Our brave defence army and all our security forces who are ready to pay their sacrifice and are fighting to cover this enemy’s target” (FDRE Government Communication Service, 31.10.2021).

We are seeing the typical projection of the ENDF and the FDRE, which it has done through the whole war since the start of “Operation Law Enforcement” in November 2020. In a war, the victor usually captures the weapons, ammunition and whatever equipment the losing army has left behind. That is why the Taliban got whatever the foreign forces left behind recently in Afghanistan. This is common in any war and isn’t something to take as “savage” method. The ENDF would have done the same, if they could…

They continue:

In Wollo, especially in Dessie and its surrounding areas, they are pulling the force that says they have an enemy from where they are. In order to achieve its evil aim of destroying Ethiopia, he has put our security forces from the front and back by using the traitors that support the destruction of Ethiopia in Dessie city. The TPLF supporters who are in the city have made a lot of efforts to achieve the target of the terrorist group. They didn’t value that they lived with the people for ages” (FDRE Government Communication Service, 31.10.2021).

Here the FDRE and ENDF are projecting again. The ENDF are the ones that is using artillery and air-strikes against civilian targets. The Tripartite Alliance have done atrocities and crimes against humanity. Secondly, the ENDF and their allies have killed innocent civilians, because of who they are and what ethnic background they have. Therefore, the FDRE have now to claim this was done by the TPLF and the TDF, which it cannot prove. This is disinformation and disgraceful, because we know what the Tripartite Alliance did. They are claiming the TDF did the destruction and such, when the state have started to besiege these areas too. Where they are getting the same treatment, as the Tigray region with no basic necessitates and utilities.

Next up is this:

The government is asking for the last time that the institutions and individuals who are spreading false information on social media and other methods and that are the purpose of the terrorist group should be saved from this. He will take legal action in the next way. The military is making the necessary sacrifices by organizing and strengthening itself. The government calls for the people to fight together as part of the army and bury the herd” (FDRE Government Communication Service, 31.10.2021).

Here the FDRE is asking yet again the people to take up arms and join into the conflict. We know this drill and the FDRE has done this for months. The Amhara region has trained their civil servants and others to prepare for the war. Therefore, this message is a continuation of this. It is not shocking or surprising, but what can untrained civilians do to a advancing troops?

The people are just supposed to continue to sacrifice itself in the warfare made by big-men who underestimated the TDF. The TDF haven’t used the tactics of weaponized starvation or a man-made famine. Therefore, the FDRE is terrorising the innocent civilians of the Tigray region and the surrounding areas, which has taken over by the TDF.

In their message, they have “wise” words to the International Community:

The international community also calls on the government to stand with the people of Amhara and Afar region by condemning the invasion by TPLF terrorist group. The international community should understand the efforts the Ethiopian government is making to save the country from disintegration. Even today, the whole community should support our defense force and the whole security structure that is being carried out carefully by paying sacrifices for the country” (FDRE Government Communication Service, 31.10.2021).

Yes, the TDF did invade and went outside of its regional state. Just like the Tripartite Alliance and their armies did as well when they invaded the Tigray region. The international community is supposed to support this “warfare” and continued conflict. The FDRE is saying the TPLF/TDF is disintegration of the Republic. While the ENDF and it’s allies has targeted and used the ethnic conflict to target all of one kind. Therefore, the ones who is disintegrating the Republic has been the Federal Government. While the IC is also supposed to standby the patriotic fight of the ENDF.

The message ends with:
“The community that is giving a strong response to the call for a nation-wide attack should continue to strengthen the support shown by both human power and bravery. There is no freedom without sacrifice!” (FDRE Government Communication Service, 31.10.2021).

The FDRE and ENDF have targeted one group, one ethnicity and everyone who just happens to be that. The Federal Government and their allies went after one political group, but targeted everyone in their way. The FDRE calls it’s a nation-wide attack. While we are supposed to forget the ENDF and allies was prepared before the Northern Command was attacked. The ENDF and allies … was encircling the Tigray region with mechanical brigades and such ahead of it.

The FDRE and ENDF has failed their enterprise and they have to call it all a sacrifice. The FDRE has wasted an ample opportunity to elevate the Republic. Instead the government squandered the opportunities and went to war. A war they are looking like loosing at the very moment. That is why they are asking, yet again for the sacrifice of the people. Peace.

Ethiopia: The TDF is advancing in Amhara region

Tigray forces have taken control of the town of Kombolcha in blow to Ethiopia PM Abiy Ahmed’s government after weeks of fighting and have brought a fuel dump and an airport in the strategic city under their control – with pictures” (Somali Guardian, 31.10.2021).

Tigray Defence Forces has not only captured Kombolcha today, but they captured Dessie yesterday. This was the area of the ‘final’ offensive from the Tripartite Alliance. The Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) must be weakened to it’s core. The TDF must have mustered all skills and tactical manoeuvres.

The ENDF Air-Force has since mid-October been having steady air-strikes over Mekelle and also outskirts of the capital of Tigray region. While continuing the blockade and siege of it. Therefore, not allowing the needed humanitarian aid and basic necessitates to enter. The man-made famine and weaponized starvation in the region. Therefore, the state have not only gone after their enemies, but taken everyone involved into it as well.

We can expect more of this, as the state have already arrested Tigrayans with a vengeance. There been closure of shops and businesses who was owned by this ethnic group. The hate-speech has been on the rise, as an effort to “win the war”. That says a lot about the methods and the means to an end.

This here shows how the TDF was able to use guerrilla tactics and smaller-arms against an full artillery brigades. The TDF has crushed the Tripartite Alliance, which is a feat. The ENDF has lost the ‘final’ offensive and the briefly trained soldiers wasn’t capable to beat the TDF. Secondly, the ENDF was run by old-school generals and the former Tigrayan Generals was either arrested or deposed off. Therefore, the state took a bad bet there.

We don’t what is happening next. This “Operation Law Enforcement” was supposed to end quickly after a brief offensive in November 2020. Alas, the ENDF and the government underestimated the opponent and their ways handling the war. If they had the control which they showed in the early days. Than they wouldn’t have acted like their doing right now. The ENDF and the allies have clearly not planned for this. The TDF has outsmarted them on the front-lines and damaged their brigades. Therefore, they have for months weaken their manpower and ability to “win the war”. Peace.

Opinion: I want whatever Ned Price is smoking

The United States is gravely concerned by the expansion of combat in northern Ethiopia. We reiterate our call for the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) to withdraw from the Amhara and Afar regions, including halting its advances in and around the cities of Dessie and Kombolcha. We urge the TPLF not to use artillery against cities and recall our strong objections to the ENDF airstrikes in Mekelle and other areas of Tigray which have cost countless lives. There is no military solution to this conflict, and all parties must begin ceasefire negotiations without preconditions” (U.S. State Department Spokesperson Ned Price – ‘Expansion of Combat Operation in Northern Ethiopia’ 30.10.2021).

The United States have to condemn and set the record straight. That is what happened here… but with doing so. They are stopping the ones and saying the ones who are fighting for survival to drop their weapons. The U.S. is telling the army and allies who is fighting against “génocidaires” and the ethnic cleansing in their home region of the Tigrayan region. Alas, it is justified war, as children, families and everyone there is touched by the siege, blockage and lack of humanitarian assistance. The man-made famine and weaponized starvation in the midst of air-strikes should say everything about their cause.

Now, Ned Price and the U.S. State Department says: “slow down and take it easy. It is time to talk now and let bygones be bygones”. Well, I hate to say it too you. But shouldn’t the same be said to the Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) and the whole Tripartite Alliance as well? Alas, they have used means of which could be deemed as crimes against humanity. These forces has destroyed heritage sites, raped woman, burned villages, destroyed factories, schools and hospitals. The Tripartite Alliance has been behind countless of massacres and at that point. The U.S. state didn’t say these words or in such a manner.

The Tigray Defence Force is just supposed to follow the words of T.I.:

No more stray now I’m straight,

Now I get it now I take time to think before I make mistakes just for my

family sake,

That part of me left yesterday

The heart of me is strong today,

No regrets I’m blessed to say the old me dead and gone away” – T.I. on ‘Dead and Gone’ (2008).

To be straight myself. The ending of the U.S. Statement is a joke, as they target the TDF who has respected the “Prisoners of War” in this warfare. While the ENDF and the authorities has extra judicially killed them. That is the vast difference. The authorities have detained and arrested civilians for being an ethnic group and it just happens to be Tigrayan.

That’s why it’s weird Ned Price had to write this: “We reiterate our call for all parties to protect civilians and end human rights abuses and violations of international humanitarian law. Those responsible for such abuses and violations must be held accountable” (U.S. State Department Spokesperson Ned Price – ‘Expansion of Combat Operation in Northern Ethiopia’ 30.10.2021).

This is implying that the TDF and such also have to follow these standards. By what has been reported during this war. The TDF haven’t been an achiever in this manner. No, it is the Tripartite Alliance and the ENDF who has targeted civilians and used all means to win the war. Therefore, this statement could have been uttered directly towards them. This is really trying to implicate the TDF and its allies as they are advancing.

We know the Ethiopian state and authorities have projected their crimes upon its enemy. That has been done since day one of the conflict and the recent days isn’t anything new. It is only the naive who believes all of this. Yes, there is no innocent party in a war. Yes, there are devastation and destruction during wars. However, the strongest party and the ones with the resources are the ENDF and it’s allies. They can air-strike and use drones, which hits civilian targets and other public areas killing innocent civilians. While the state can later claim it’s an “arms factory” or “terrorist location”. Nevertheless, the dead cannot speak and secondly, the proofs isn’t validated by the claims of the state. This is why you have to take that with a little bit of scepticism.

So, if the U.S. State Department wants to be sincere. They should look into the facts of the matter. The State Department is crying wolf as the TDF is advancing. The TDF have had no other choice, as the Abiy government wouldn’t have helped the Tigray Region if they stayed on the borders of the region. No, he would have starved them… just like he does now. It would have been no difference. Abiy and allies have blocked the Tigray region for a long time before the November 2020. This shouldn’t be forgotten and it planned ahead of the attack on the Northern Command too. So, the U.S. Department of State should take some more information into consideration.

Yes, the TDF going into the Afar and Amhara region was a needed enterprise. They did it because the Tripartite Alliance gave the TDF no other choice. Why should the TDF just stay put after the Tripartite Alliance have violated their region for months? Because for the state, the war was fine and a smooth operation when they did their crimes in Tigray region. However, now people are crying wolf when the TDF has entered the others. Why shouldn’t they? Instead of just being defence, why not go offence?

So, this crying wolf will do no good and will not create peace. It is just like the U.S. State Department didn’t see how the Tripartite Alliance did their “fake ceasefire” when they were forced to withdraw from parts of the Tigray Region in June 2021. Therefore, if the U.S. State Department is sincere… they should remember that as well. However, that is too much to ask apparently. Peace.
