Ethiopia: Ministry of Foreign Affairs letter to all Diplomatic Missions in Addis Ababa (06.09.2022)



The news from Ethiopia is grim. While the #NoMore crowds are speaking of “no touching” and “no interference” of foreign interference, the Ethiopian government have no issues with foreign invaders in the likes of Eritrean Defence Force (EDF). That’s the ironies as the EDF have forced conscripted thousands of soldiers ahead of the new offensive. Which is happening on several fronts. The Tigray region is attacked from every possible angle. That being either done by the Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF), EDF or Amhara Para-Military Group “Fano”.
The Fano group mission is to annihilate Tigrayans and ensure the Tigrayan people are regretting being born Tigrayan. That was stated by a militia member on TV as the Fano is attacking in coordination with the ENDF. While the EDF is attacking and shelling other fronts around Tigray region.
While this is happening, the Ethiopian Government have dropped a manufactured document claiming the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) was planning a coup and overthrow the current regime. Where they had speculated ways of doing so and involving tricks in the Amhara region and others. Which is an illusion and what the Prosperity Party and other allies needs as an excuse to invade and conquer the Tigray region again.
This time around the Eritrean government and the Ethiopian government isn’t conceal anyone’s involvement. They are proud of attacking and enforcing this war. This is a civil war with foreign implication. As the Ethiopian government have through media releases claimed Sudanese or from Sudanese territory that the Tigray Defence Force (TDF) have gotten reinforcement (former Peacekeepers) and also ammunition through the air. Therefore, this can be used to further escalate the war in a later stage.
Asmara and Addis Ababa is really ready to impose a new set of regional government in Tigray region. They are both willing avenge the past with vicious means. While the government and their propagandists are working on overtime to vilify the victim. They are using all ways of gaining sympathy and claiming superiority. That’s how they are doing it.
We can expect news of new massacres similar to the first invasions in November 2020. The EDF and Fano would easily try to conceal and make it seem like a lie. That’s what they have done before and we shouldn’t be shocked if it happens again. The ENDF, EDF and Fano will pursuit this and certainly ensure they have destroyed Tigray, once and for all.
However, people should be worried about a genocide, with ethnonationalism and fascism, which is spiralling out of control. We should fear for what will happen in Tigray. Especially, with the backdrop of the all massacres in the first invasion of the Tripartite Alliance. In 2022 as we have seen what happened after November 2020. That’s why we should warn and be worried. The besieged region and the famine in addition to war will only worsen it all. Plus the wants of revenge and the possible plans of annihilation.
The utter silence and lack of support of Tigray is obvious. As it is acted as an internal affair, when it’s really a sign of how fragile the Horn of Africa has become. The strongest army is already weakened after years of war in the ENDF. That’s why the ENDF needs the forced conscripts of EDF and the fascists from Amhara. This is what is going on and people should be worried of the consequences.
Right now there is a full scale war on multiple fronts and with a will to vilify the ones defending their territories. The innocent and the third party are the ones that will get most of the pain and suffering. The plight of Tigray continues and there is no end in sight of the hostilities. Peace.








Unfortunately, inadvertently, or wittingly Ethiopia is in the process of self-destruction simply because its rulers are recklessly waging destructive war on own citizens by inviting foreign army to dehumanise and depersonalise the citizens. We have categorically denounced such brutal war on own citizens from its very onset. Therefore, in the face of a continued siege imposed on Tigray by Ethiopian government following Tigray’s invasion by allied forces involving foreign actors including the Eritrean Army, UAE’s, Turkey’s, Iran’s, and China’s drones strikes since November 04, 2020; over 90% of the Tigray’s over 6 million people are denied access to necessities such as food, banking, telecommunication, electricity, and the other basic services. Hospitals, factories, universities, religious institutions, and infrastructures were decimated due to the indicated war.
It is now close to 2 years since such tragic incidents unfolded to leave citizens fighting for their mere survival. Therefore, the Tegarus have no time for luxurious talk of anything else other than fighting for their survival because, the objective of the war waged on Tigray is eradicating them from the face of earth according to the vows of the government and its hatred intoxicated supporters. To date citizens in Tigray mainly and Oromia and elsewhere generally are needlessly dying for no apparent reasons only to satisfy the vindictive appetites of invading allied forces including that of the Eritrea’s dictator.
An historic tragedy unfolding in Tigray has never seen before in the empire’s soil and the wider world although the rest of Ethiopians to date remain oblivious silent and they are willingly sending their children to fight unnecessary genocidal war with their brothers and sisters. Their cooperation with the regime committing genocide on own citizens and to date hell bent in continuing to do so; dictates the fact that they are equally committing inexcusable crimes whose consequences will touch each and individual household of the empire sooner or later.
In fact, the consequence of the war is already touching every single household as sky rocketing price and unmanageable level of living conditions shake the foundation of the empire as ongoing war swallows down the entire economy due to the regime’s becoming engrossed in using the available scarce resources on purchasing of weapons to dehumanise citizens. The international key players also remain oblivious only paying lip services.
Furthermore, the war in Tigray, Oromia, Agaw, Benishangul, Afar, Amhara, Kemant, Ogaden Somali and elsewhere in the empire is wreaking havoc causing the death and displacements of millions mainly in Tigray and generally in Oromia and elsewhere. Moreover, Abiy Ahmed’s War in Oromia is also causing silent genocide where the citizens are agonisingly dying in their thousands due to manmade and naturally caused adverse weather conditions. Last week’s massacre of Oromo civilians in West Wolaga, Horo-Guduru district was therefore a part of Oromo disabling project that we strongly condemn.
In the face of such tragedies, wittingly or unwittingly, the elites of nations and nationalities in Ethiopia are falling their Tegaru, and Oromo brothers and sisters by embarking on Tigray and Oromo eradication mission that is masterminded by Abiy Ahmed’s regime and his vindictive allies who are all determined on continuing with self-destructive mission by binning the option of peaceful political solution. Additionally, as indicated, the peoples of Ethiopia are failing their Tegaru brothers and sisters by sending their children to fight meaningless and unjust war. Those who are recruited to fight their own brothers and sisters are often blessed by religious leaders who openly supported the Tigray War thus fail their religious duties and moral obligations. We, the Sidama nation feel extremely saddened to observe in our lifetime such brutality happening to fellow citizens and mankind generally.
The unprecedented level of suffering of citizens in Tigray due to ongoing allied war, the continued siege, and the denial of access to basic services defies sane belief. Besides, the PP regime, its vindictive supporters and the Eritrean despot are hellbent on keeping Tigray under siege until they ensure their total elimination. We strongly believe that what is happening to Tegarus in Tigray and in the rest parts of Ethiopia where they are ethnic-profiled, hunted and surrounded to be mass imprisoned in concentration camps throughout Ethiopia- is genocidal – that must be unconditionally denounced and stopped.
The Sidama nation sends its unreserved support to Tegarus and unequivocally makes it clear that the Sidama nation is not and never be part of such citizens’ dehumanising project. Instead, the Sidama nation unreservedly supports the Tigray’s and Oromo’s self-defending war with all possible means. Furthermore, the Sidama nation categorically denounces the denial of access to necessities to Tigray and urges the Ethiopian regime to unconditionally lift siege before sitting down for all-inclusive political dialogue that must involves OLA.
We call upon the Sidama nation to reject Abiy Ahmed’s call to send nation’s children to fight unnecessary war with own citizens in Tigray and Oromia instead refusing to obey the PP regime installed cadres in Sidama’s hardly earned state, in unison. We call upon all nations and nationalities of Ethiopia to stop sending of their children to fight unjust war with their brothers and sisters in Tigray instead urge them to support Tigray’s self-defending war. We urge the international community that is doing little or nothing as crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocides are unfolding in Tigray mainly and throughout the country generally; to discharge its moral obligations and international duties by taking urgent, and realistic measures to stop the suffering of millions in the besieged Tigray predominantly and in Oromia and elsewhere generally.
Deeply disturbed by the sad news of children and other civilians’ execution in Mekele’s Kindergarten and Hospital during the recent air and drone strikes of Ethiopian regime; we condemn with the strongest possible terms such barbarism to non-combatant civilians and demand the perpetrators to be brought to justice. We also urge the immediate removal of foreign army including the Eritreans from West Tigray and the rest parts of Ethiopian soil. Finally, we urge services to be urgently and unconditionally restored to Tigray before agreeing to a negotiated ceasefire thereby assume a formal all-inclusive dialogue for Ethiopia to continue as it used to be since its creation over 142 years ago.
These are left unaddressed, the SNLF sternly warns nations and nationalities who are supporting the regime committing genocide on own citizens; and the wider global key players, the consequence of the regime’s war on Tigray, Oromia and other parts of the country will be dangerously far reaching with debilitating damage not only to Ethiopians but also the wider horn and beyond. We urge an unconditional political solutions to be immediately sought after removing genocidal rope tied and tightened on Tigray, now!
