Ethiopia: Three Hs of Doom…

“Ethiopia’s goal is not eating three times a day. You may recall that Ethiopia’s aspiration was once said to be having three meals a day, but prosperity doesn’t see it this way. Eating three times a day does not guarantee prosperity. Humans do not live for food alone. Eating three times a day cannot be our ultimate goal. Our baseline goal is to achieve the three Hs. The first one is happiness; we want to foster happiness, regardless of whether you eat twice or six times a day. So one can smile day in and day out. The second is harmony; to build harmony among different groups. The third is human excellence. With human excellence and well-organized human capital, sustainable development becomes possible” – Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali (29.10.2024).

My oh my… oh the noble men has fallen. Gracious lord almighty, please save us all. This cannot be it. The snakeoil and the deceptions has to be over. People cannot buy into the schemes and the spells of the Prime Minister anymore. This isn’t legit and is a sign of epic failure of the Prosperity Party and the whole Medemer agenda that has in turn become a terror.

Certainly, the Prime Minister is delusional and without merits talking, as if it doesn’t matter or is a real basic concern. Food security and ensuring food on the plates is the first things people do. They ensure they have food and tries to get more than enough. The people plan and try to get enough money or salaries to buy the needed for the day and the next meal. So, someone talking about other thing is disgusting.

This is what a Warlord do. A Lord of War, who is preoccupied with settling scores and becoming the dominant force. That’s why he wants to control the consumption of food and how the state assess happiness. He wants to have an oversight over the citizens and how they live their lives. Meanwhile, they cannot complain about the lack of food or anything basic for that matter. As it is a part of bigger plan to build also harmony and human excellence. That’s just the hogwash that the Prime Minister is serving the public.

A Federal Republic that has during his time ensured that people aren’t accessing or having the ability to eat. A man who has stifled and stopped humanitarian aide to conflict zones. That’s who speaks like this and it shows. This is who the PM is and where his heart is at. He doesn’t mind people starving, as long as they can smile and be happy. Who is happy going around without food or covering their basic needs? Really, the PM is fooling no one here and he wouldn’t approve of lacking anything either. That’s why his building a palace for himself and using the state funds to finance his wars.

This isn’t funny, but a tragic way of seeing things. It is bound to cause more harm and this ideology is only showing where his “moral ambiguity is”. As he can flex things and be bendable, as long as his overcoming an obstacle in the end. That people where suffering and lacked their basic needs. It doesn’t matter, as long as the PM and his allies crushed, destroyed and humiliated whoever he fought against at this very moment. That’s who the PM is and he tells it like it is.

He cannot try to sell porkies like these now. We have seen how he acts and what he does to consolidate power. The shadow games are getting old. Meanwhile the people are suffering as a cause of it and he bashes in glory. That’s what he does and the price of his reign will be on anyone who lives and resides in the Republic. It is the grim reality and this man has no bounds for his viciousness. That is proven over the years and sooner or later he will create even more hostility and more humanitarian needs just to ensure his total annihilation of his enemies. Peace.

Ethiopia: Abiy appoints his ceremonial puppet

“Ethiopia has officially appointed Ambassador Taye Atske-Selassie as the country’s new President. The announcement came during the 4th-year opening ceremony of the 6th House of People’s Representatives and the 4th House of Federation joint session today” (Ethiopian Press Agency, 07.10.2024).

The demotion from being the Minister of Foreign Affairs to become the Ceremonial President has begun. Taye Atske-Selassie will be the silent partner and confidant of the Prime Minister of Ethiopia.

The ones that think Atske-Selassie will be a defiant or a man of honour is wrong. He will be there to serve his Prime Minister and his party. That’s why he was appointed and elected to the role of President.

He has gone from serving as an ambassador to become the Foreign Minister and now he has gotten a token office. That is what his getting and that because the PM knows what his getting.

Atske-Selassie wouldn’t be in the mix, if Abiy wasn’t sure that he had a loyal cadre on his side. The new President has praised most of the achievements and the government programs of Abiy. That will he continue to do, and he won’t budge.

As President he will accept the fate of war in the Amhara region. He won’t stop or be in the way of conflicts elsewhere on the Horn of Africa. As we have seen him openly defend and be a voice of the Federal Republic in regards to the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Somaliland. Therefore, Abiy has an ally and a man that will carry his water in this man.

This is man that serves one purpose and one purpose only. That’s to be there and be the man that supports the Prime Minister. It don’t matter what he does or how he operates. This President will be the spokesperson and the figurehead of that government. He will be there for the glory and the prestige, but he won’t have a say.

Abiy has now his puppet and he will dance when the Prime Minister says so. Peace.

Ethiopia: Salsay Weyane Tigray – Press Release (07.10.2024)

Ethiopia: The TPLF-D is “taking over” TIRA…

“It is clear that the more the group gets additional terms in office, the more consequences and national destruction it will bring. Therefore, the TPLF Central Committee decided at its meeting on September 24, 2017 to resign the individuals in the group from their administrative positions on behalf of the TPLF and replace them with other representatives of the party. Hence, the following individuals have resigned from their administrative responsibilities as of October 7 today” (Tigray People’s Liberation Front, 07.10.2024).

Today is the day.. the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) have initially takeover the Tigray Interim Regional Administration (TIRA). This is appointing a new leadership from the TPLF-D and not from the TPLF-R.

Getachew Reda is in real trouble here. Reda is currently being chastised and being fired by the party that he has been a part of. Now TIRA is getting a new leadership and the TPLF is appointing them.

The problem here is that the TIRA was created as a part of the Pretoria Agreement. That is the current interim government in the Tigray region. This is a creation of Abiy and such to ensure he has allies and people he can control in Tigray. That’s why he allowed it to happen… and let Getachew Reda take the reigns.

Now with the time going, the Debretsion Gebremichael is trying to reign it in. They are trying to take control of the TIRA. An entity that it doesn’t directly “own” or has “ownership” of. As it is a creation made for having puppets in Tigray.

Prime Minister Abiy wouldn’t allow “hardliners” or anyone who opposes him in office in Tigray. He would have other excuses to freeze it or stop it from functioning. That’s why Debretsion Gebremichael is playing a dangerous game.

Debretsion Gebremichael is already struggling to get the TPLF rectified and get it as a legal political entity. The Federal Authorities haven’t accepted it after calling it a “terrorist” organization during the war in the North. Therefore, his playing with fire and won’t win here.

The winner here is Abiy. Reda is losing too, but Debretsion won’t feel victorious either. Especially, if the people around the PM won’t accept the changes or allow it. Because, that isn’t up to the TPLF. The TIRA is destined and decided from a far. That won’t be an easy gambit.

Getachew Reda can easily linger on in office. Even if the TPLF-D sacks him. That’s because Abiy wants to keep him. It gives him the energy and weakens the TPLF. That’s a victory for the Prosperity Party. As the TPLF is doing more in-fighting and less governance. The TPLF aren’t governing, but fighting for roles and offices. That’s what Abiy wants to corrupt and make people weak enough to take his bait. Therefore, TPLF-D is losing here and not winning.

The TPLF as a whole is losing by the share definition of mediocre acts it’s doing. Instead of focusing on the betterment and restructuring the state after the war. Instead of looking into the pressing matters and the questions lingering after the Cessation of Hostilities. It is instead bound by internal spite and conflict, which could have been resolved over a cup of coffee.

These gentlemen knows better and they are playing a high stakes game. Neither will win here. The victor here is residing in Addis. He is grinning and laughing at this. Because, he see them fight over the spoils and the little token he gave after fighting them. This isn’t the strong party of old, and neither is it showing any sort of strength. Peace.
