“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.
