Ethiopia: Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) – ONLF Urges Restraint and Dialogue Amid Rising Tensions in Jubaland (27.11.2024)

Ethiopia: The OLA-OLF calls Abiy rightfully out!

“1. Feigning Interest in Peace Talks, Again

Shimelis repeated the regime’s worn-out narrative of pursuing peace. What the regime calls “peace” is stripping the public of their only means of protection against state violence. This Orwellian invocation of peace serves as a facade for their inability to achieve a military victory with their disorganized forces. Their actions consistently betray their claim to any form of peaceful settlement” (Oromia Liberation Army – ‘Abiy Ahmed, through Shimelis Abdisa, delivered a lacklustre statement riddled with contradictions and empty rhetoric’ 27.11.2024).

Time is a wasting. The Prosperity Party and the revised EPRDF regime under the Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali have utterly failed the nation. The FDRE and the authorities has created more insecurity and a lesser peaceful environment in the Republic. That’s what the Prime Minister has achieved over the years.

That the Oromia Liberation Army/Front (OLA-OLF) are spelling it all out. The Prosperity Party and the current regime aren’t acting in good faith. There is only misinformation and propaganda about non-existence dialogue. The authorities and the national army are here because they can never cease to have the final operation or offensive against it.

The OLA-OLF is saying the truths, that the PP isn’t able or has the guts to do. They rather do a short-term act and use violence without any fear of retribution. That’s what the PM hopes for and that he can slowly silence his enemies. Which is what the OLA-OLF is in his eyes. They are the enemies he cannot get rid of or have the ability to conquer.

“4. False Claims About Peace Talks Logistics

True to form, Shimelis indulged in baseless claims, even on trivial matters. He asserted that the government had financed and facilitated the OLA delegation’s travel to Tanzania for peace talks. This is patently false. The delegation’s travel was entirely funded by international partners and executed using ICRC-owned aerial assets. If memory serves well, even the regime`s delegation`s participation was also financed through the same mechanism” (Oromia Liberation Army – ‘Abiy Ahmed, through Shimelis Abdisa, delivered a lacklustre statement riddled with contradictions and empty rhetoric’ 27.11.2024).

We can see how the PM and FDRE are trying to make a scene. They are trying to forge a narrative, which apparently and not surprisingly isn’t true. It is all lies and the PM cannot even speak honestly about who paid for the latest talks with them. He wants to take credit for other people’s hard-earned money. The PM should be grateful that ICRC paid and secured the logistics for the peace talks in Tanzania. Alas, the PM wants accolades for what other people did for him. Therefore, Abiy just showing how he acts and tries to be the golden child, yet again.

We can just wonder what the next lie is and what else Abiy wants to take credit for. That’s who he is and a warlord who proclaims to work for peace. Which we all know is how he operates. That’s why we knew he was lying about things…

It is just addressed with piercing words from OLA-OLF. That’s about time .Peace.

Ethiopia: ENAT Party’s bleak assessment of the current affairs

What is happening behind this terrible act that makes you suspicious about this? We have observed some qualities that make us wonder. When Wollega is a land of blood, a slaughter ground and hundreds of citizens are dying in a tragic situation, when the whole Oromia people see the day ruler and the ruler of darkness crumbling, when their children are taken away, when hundreds of our people die in the conflict created by the Afar and Somali regime; here in East Shewa, when 43 people’s houses were closed and burned; an elderly in Mojo district. When a priest and his family are slaughtered like sheep by the river so that they don’t survive for race; When the fathers of Zikwala Abo monasteries are cut and killed; When the Imam of a mosque in Dera and his family are killed in a tragic situation so that they don’t survive for race, when it seems that it is declared that people will be killed everywhere in Amhara; When Tigray is the shadow of death, even children are dying because of hunger and man-made ways; in general How come the government medias that have been sleeping in the four corners of Ethiopia, in such a way that can be said daily in a way that we can’t hear and see nothing has happened? “We plant trees for the dead” how did the government that was observing the death feel sad? When Oromia is a land of blood, it has never shared the sorrow of the people, and has never given a solution to the people who left behind by trapping their children and asking them to stop killing us, how come the regional government has opened its mouth and put a deaf ear when asked? We have found them to be the ones that they are supposed to be seen in terms of contract. Will they give a clue as to who is behind this disgusting act? We were forced to ask” (ENAT Party – ‘The devastating video we watched shows the height of terrorism. On the contrary, the way the governmental structure has used its actions for political profit is condemnable’ 24.11.2024).

The newest Press Release from the ENAT Party or the Mother Party is a terrible read. Just like other statements on the leaked online video, which shows horrific actions and a tragedy done by malice. Sadly in the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (FDRE) there is nothing new in this.

This is the Medemer Terror era under ruler Abiy Ahmed Ali. His henchmen and brutal soldiers are violating people on the regular. The same is the mechanical divisions and also other usages of drones to capture or kill people. That is something the government and the authorities are known for. In addition to other features of insecurity and destabilizing forces. This is partly a reaction to the current regime, but also old ghosts haunting the EPRDF. That’s why the promises of Abiy have failed and instead answered with the usage of more bullets.

It is just tragic that we are here. That an Opposition Party have to release a statement like this. The ENAT Party is crying out loud. It is writing out of haste and need. A party that is speaking like this, because it knows the state media doesn’t listen. Neither will the regional governments or anyone in office. They are living lavish on the status quo and doesn’t mind the plights of the rest. That’s how things are looking splendid in Addis Ababa, but other zones are war-zones and areas of desperation. Which is all man-made and done solely to consolidate power of one man, the Prime Minister himself.

When you read the stories and tragedies the ENAT Party speak off. It shows a sinister and brutal environment. No one is spared and everyone can die. Anyone can be punished or hurt. The state or the para-military organizations, the rebels even can kill you. There is no positive outcome and death can come easily. Therefore, the party is calling this out of necessity.

The Prosperity Party and the reformed EPRDF won’t act upon this plea. They will act like it never happened. The stories will go into thin air. That’s what they hope for and that’s the end-game. Sadly more lives taken and no one is accountable for them. This is the times of Abiy and how he reigned supreme. Peace.

Ethiopia: The MoFA needs to get fact-checked

Ethiopia, the capital of Africa and the beacon of freedom for black people, is making special preparations to welcome guests who will participate in the African Union Summit in February with warm hospitality and an excellent reception. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs would like to welcome, train, and deploy volunteer protocol cadets for various protocol duties in this program, which will create a good opportunity to showcase the positive image of our country” (Ministry of Foreign Affairs – ‘Notice Call for Volunteering Service’ 18.11.2024).

First I got to say it’s bold of the Ethiopian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ask for volunteers for the African Union Summit coming this February. That’s bold and the manner of which is done is astonishing. They should reflect on it and reconsider their approach.

The FDRE aren’t in a good space right now. The current regime is a vengeful pack and lead by a warlord. They are embroiled in conflicts which are sparking more turmoil from within. The ideals of consolidating power and annihilating enemies are creating more hostility, and less peaceful atmosphere across the Republic. Therefore, the words chosen by the MoFA is out of bound with reality.

Secondly, Addis Ababa is maybe a political hub like Brussels of Europe, but is a self-proclaimed “Capital” of the continent. That is a big word and titles just to make them look supreme.

Thirdly, the FDRE and the current Prosperity Party isn’t known for being the “beacon of freedom”. If you associate with the wrong ethnic group. You can easily get detained, tortured or even being extra judicially killed. This government can silence the press and take away all liberties under the guise of rule of law. That’s why those words are meaningless and worthless, if this government believes they are just that in 2024.

Fourth, the FDRE must take people for fools when it wants to “showcase the positive image of our country”. That’s just tinfoil hat nonsense, as it wants to band-aid and drink the kool-aid to forget all the suffering, mischief and the disingenuous ways of this government. Like a few acts of goodwill and good faith can publicly take away the misuse of power, the massacres, the destruction and the will of warfare against its own. That’s who they are and a few friendly faces in Addis Ababa won’t change the narrative.

It is really impressive that the MoFA published this “notice” and thought it was a good idea. Like we don’t know about the bloodshed and the tyranny of this current government. That we don’t know how it operates and ensures people’s early death. It is really amazing that it think it can lead people into folly and take away their brutal acts that easily. We can’t forget the dead or the ones scorn by the powers to be. Those are the ones who has to answer for their demise, their pain and suffering. This is why we can’t forget it. It was on the watch of this Prime Minister and his lackeys. They all danced, celebrated and held parties on the graves. Meanwhile the PM himself said the deceased made good soil for his green trees. So, we know where his heart remains as well.

That is the sort of character and charlatan that wants the world to believe these people are fighting for freedom, liberty and justice for all. No, it does not and it isn’t concerned about that. It is more concerned about the fragile ego of one man and his wishes to be the next crowned king. That’s who they are working for and his every whim. That’s who they are and they cannot run away from the fact now.

In the next episode we should talk about bullets and bread. That’s more fitting in regard to the FDRE. Peace.
