Ethiopia: There is no hope left – Only war and conflict in the eyes of the PM

It is an enemy that says you can’t plant trees while people are dying, let’s open a new page in summer, let’s wear green Ethiopia” (…) “Those who complain ‘how can you prioritize planting trees when people are dying?’ are our enemies. Don’t listen to them. We will keep planting trees. We will even plant trees where people are buried, at least their corpse will get some shade” – Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali (07.07.2022).

The ones reading the commentaries and the statements made after the Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali addressed the House of Federation. Should be aware… that this man certainly intends to more conflict. This man isn’t done with warfare or consolidating power with the usage of force. The words and what he said today. Is the words of a tyrant and bloody warlord. Not that’s is shocking, but that he was able to entertain to the world the ideals of a man of peace. That is beyond me… because the Colonel and former spy is clearly intending to pursuit war.

Because, it is not inspiring when he utters words like these:

First is to cause conflict between Oromo and Amhara, second is to cause conflict with Amhara, third is to cause conflict among Oromo, fourth is to cause conflict in Afar and Somalis, fifth is to cause conflicts between Sidama and Wolayta, and on the other hand they are trying to cause conflict between Amhara and Oromo, the other is to cause conflict amongst Muslims and Christians” (Abiy, 07.07.2022).

A man that came into office to clear out the mischief and the ethnic tensions. However, over the years with him in office. Well, things has gotten worse and it’s spiralling out of hand. That’s because his inflicting more harm. The usage of state sponsored violence and muffling media to spread his information. Which isn’t the truth, but the truth he wants everyone to believe. This is why his blaming others for causing conflict. When his the guy that orders the mass-murders, massacres and use of force in the name of law and order.

Not that this is inspiring either:

Everyday 300 to 400 people killed in Ethiopia is nothing compared to how many get killed every minute in western countries” (Abiy, 07.07.2022).

He is speaking of the gun-violence and the mass-killings of lone gun-men in the United States of America, which is a problem that Washington D.C. should deal with. However, Addis Ababa cannot get away with their steady increase in state violence and state sponsored massacres, which is why there is an outcry. The murders and vast amount of extra judicial killings should worry anyone. It doesn’t help to point a finger elsewhere. When it’s burning in your own neighbourhood. That is just trying to make it a legality and reasoning of all killing is cool, because your brother from another does the same. Well, both are wrong, and one type of wrong doesn’t make another wrong right.

It doesn’t help that is some of the points from his speech too:

– It is good to try and talk about peace process in order to dry the enemy’s plot from its source and to solve the problem permanently. The success of the peace process will be seen in process.

– The fact that TPLF is a terrorist and there is no need for peace talks with the group will not bring the peace we want. Derg always negotiated with Shabiya and TPLF.

– Powers in war always talk; peace talks and negotiations are done to get profit from negotiations” (Abiy, 07.07.2022).

When you are thinking like this, you are just calculating risks and ensuring your course of action. This shows there is no real desire for peace, but only postponing more direct warfare in the Tigray region. Certainly, since they are busy with their “final offensive” in Oromia against the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), which was a main enemy of the state in the speech. It just shows the sentiment. These are just quotes and snippets. I am pretty sure, if you got to read a whole transcript of his address and done so in English. It would have shaken your spine. Because, just these few things makes me worried.

There is no hope in this man. His just finding reasons to retaliate, retort to more violence and further the wars of the republic. This man will not usher in peace. He will ensure all of his enemies are dead and find a way to execute that. So, that their corpses can be under shade of the trees planted in his era. Peace.

Ethiopia: Oromo Liberation Front/Army (OLF/A) – The OLF-OLA Condemns the Killing of Civilians by Abiy’s Security Personnel (05.07.2022)

Ethiopia: 3 days after government security forces takes over the territory – A massacre hits Qellem Wollega…

The Shene group that has escaped from the stick that the security forces use is causing danger to the citizens of West Wollega. In Oromia region, people found in Qelem Wollega zone have been killed. We are saddened by the suffering that happened to our citizens, we will follow this terrorist group to the end and remove it from our people. Shane Dulla group who escaped from security forces are fleeing from Wollega Dhiya people. The last thing has been done on the citizens of Oromia region, Qellem Wollega. We will remove this terrorist group with our people till the end” (Abiy Ahmed Ali, 04.07.2022).

It is tragic and sad, but at the same time very interesting how things are moving. The Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) and Oromia Regional Special Forces are currently operating in the final offensive against the Oromo Liberation Army/Front (OLA/OLF) which they nickname “Shane”. However, this militia had officially lost the territories of which the state claims or alleged behind the massacre there. That’s weird and seems inaccurate. Unless, the state lied about having control 3 days before…

The ENDF and allies was boosting and used the Ethiopian Government Communications Services to spread the statement of the takeover of the territories in the Oromia region. The OLF/OLA could easily have retreated and given it up. As they tend to stretch their operations and later return to combat elsewhere. Therefore, it it likely that the OLF/OLA could cease the control and give way to a far superior organization. Which is now using all their manpower and brigades to combat them. We know the state wants to end the OLF/OLA in Oromia. That’s why the Federal Government promised a “Final Offensive”.

In that regard, the BBC report on the area seems plausible:

The government announced that the districts in western Oromia are under the control of the security forces. The woredas in Kelem Welega, West Welega, & Horo Gudru Welega Zones have come under the full control of the security forces, the government said “This was stated in a statement issued by the Minister of Government Communication Services, Legesse Tulu, on June 23, 2014 regarding the current peace and security of the country. He said the area was controlled by the Oromo Liberation Army (WBO), a joint operation by the Defense Forces, the Federal Police, the Oromia Special Forces and the militia. He also said that several members of the terrorist group, which claimed responsibility for the massacre in Tole Kebele, Gimbi Woreda, West Welega, were also killed during the operation” (BBC, 30.06.2022).

Death, massacres and mass-murders follows where-ever the National Army shows up. Isn’t that convenient to then blame the enemies of the state after the fact? Especially, when you and your government claimed victory and takeover of the territories. So, suddenly after you had full control a massacre killing civilian happened an-mass. It is tragic that these sorts of acts get pinned on others.

Its not shocking that the Federal Government, the leaders of Addis Ababa would do this or any sort of thing. They are currently busy blaming the victims elsewhere too. As everyone is terrorists and enemies of the state. That’s why the state is doing whatever it can to vilify the Tigrayan people and the region. As it is facing starvation, famine and genocide, which has been state sponsored too. So, when a government can do that. It can easily sponsor a massacre elsewhere too.

I am very doubtful of the honest and truth in the words of Abiy. Who comes with claims of the OLA/OLF days after the government security forces took control of the area. The massacre wasn’t found with mass-graves from when the Oromo militia had held control. No, the massacre happened while the state had taken over control. Which makes it possible that the state is behind it and with their security forces. Because, why shouldn’t they? They did takeover the area and the territories?

That’s why there is a lie here and I believe Abiy is lying. Because, his a liar and a man who tends to speak plenty of untruths. His not the sort of fella that is trustworthy or genuine. No, he lies for his own benefit and comes with harsh warning against his enemies. His a proper warlord that way and his proud of it too. That’s why he wears fatigues and is proud of being a man of the army.

This is why I have a gut feeling. Sensing the armed forces of the state has sanctioned and sponsored the massacre. They have the option and the will to do so. Because, there wasn’t a massacre and a bloodshed before the state’s own armed forces took over. Peace.

There was three more pages of the deceased in the report from GPE, which I am not publishing. Because, I am not comfortable publishing such explicit and deceased bodies on my page. Peace.

Ethiopia: Government of Tigray – External Affairs Office – Response to the Ethiopian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ False Claims (28.06.2022)

Opinion: Blaming everything on the TPLF is getting ‘old’

Yes, as the time goes by… the repetition and usage of a scapegoat wears off. That is just a fact. Especially, when the scapegoat and the villain isn’t as powerful or uses it’s forces. The Prosperity Party and the government institutions are finding all ways to vilify and blame the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF).

I would never say that the TPLF isn’t at fault and never done anything evil. No, that isn’t justified. The TPLF have their wounds, massacres and tarnished reputation over years in power. That isn’t anything to deny or counter, as that should investigated and challenged in the courts of law. Which any sensible government petition, indicts and sentence criminals to a punishment in a correctional facility. Therefore, that should be done and not just blame it for everything without evidence.

With that in mind… the FDRE Government Communication Service has targeted and lied deliberately about the TPLF. That being the closure of Mekelle Airport or the Humanitarian Convoys to enter into Tigray region. Secondly, now they are blaming the TPLF for the execution of Sudanese soldiers from Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). Which is hard to believe, as the Addis Ababa has lied about all details in the conflict in Northern Ethiopia.

The PP has lied about the origin. The PP has lied about how it blocked funding and aid into the Tigray region before the November 2020. The PP has lied about their planned operations to assassinate the TPLF leadership ahead of the conflict. The PP has lied about the infiltration of Tigray Defence Force (TDF) within the refugees fleeing into Sudan. The PP has lied about the lack of fuel and called it a myth created by the TPLF to continue the war. I can go on, but I am just showing how much lies that been spread as fact in this conflict.

When you know this… the ENDF isn’t taking responsibility of the executions of SAF soldiers. They are now “investigating” it, but know that they will never take any sort of serious responsibility for it. Because, the regime of Addis Ababa don’t want to loose face and that’s the gist of it.

Just like it always did disclaim the skirmishes last year into the Al-Fashqa region inside Sudanese territory. Therefore, the recent Press Statement made by the Ethiopian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is again blaming TPLF. While not taking into account the knowledge of SAF and the Sudanese who knows who took them as Prisoners of War (POW) and the civilian who was also killed by the authorities in Ethiopia.

So, when the PP and the FDRE Government Communication Service drops their statements, press releases and such. Question the narrative and the reasons for it. Since, they have deliberately acted in disservice and been dishonest in the messaging. Therefore, don’t just listen and take as a truth. That is giving way to a government that easily takes life, creates famine and arrest dissidents.

I’m just asking you to be aware and keeping your head cool. Because, the FDRE and the PP is working for one man and his emperor complex. That should be said and don’t be shocked by that. He wants everyone to fear him and his terror. This is why his time in office should be called the ‘Medemer Terror’. Peace.
