Ethiopia: Oromo Liberation Front/Army (OLF-OLA) – OLF-OLA Central Commitee Resolutions (08.12.2024)

Ethiopia: The Ethiopian authorities are deporting Eritreans on the regular now

According to the source, about 300 Eritreans have been transferred on six buses to Eritrea in the past two days via the Buri Brí Nerve route. Sources said that the process of deportation of the Eritreans detained in Ethiopian prisons is ongoing. The Ethiopian government had deported more than 200 Eritreans in a similar way in the past months. The Ethiopian Security Forces are carrying out an intensive arrest campaign targeting only the Eritreans” (Radio Erena – ‘The Ethiopian government moves about 300 Eritreans to Eritrea’ 04.12.2024).

The relations between Addis Ababa and Asmara have soured after the Pretoria Agreement that ceased the conflict in the Tigray region. After that the friendship and alliance has affected the leadership of both nations.

Now we are going back in time and returning to the issues of old. Where the Eritrean nationals who are seeking refugee and asylum in Ethiopia is deemed illegal. These are now taken into custody and later deported. That is what is going on as a retribution and as a way of signalling disdain between the capitals.

The Prosperity Party is now telling it and objectively showing their distrust in Eritrea. The former allies in the war of the North are now targeting the weakest of them all. They are going after immigrants and asylum seekers within the Federal Republic and sending them back to the State of Eritrea.

The Ethiopian state is now mass arresting and unlawfully deporting people. That is done in coordination between various of state organization. In efforts to signal Asmara that they are no longer welcome. That is the gist of it all. This is done to say to the Eritrean government that they aren’t friends anymore. Because this wouldn’t happen during the conflict or while they were brothers in arms. No, they are doing this now because of the fallout between the Prime Minister Abiy and President Afwerki. That’s it and the people must pay the sacrifice for this.

We have seen these sorts of actions in the past. Now it has retuned and that is message from Addis Ababa to Asmara. That they are not accepting it and they are expelling Eritreans from their nation. They are now criminalizing their stay and want them to return home. They aren’t allowed to gather, live or seek refuge in Ethiopia. That’s the message and that’s what they are saying by their action.

The ones in power in Asmara should listen carefully to the pleas and understand what is going on. As these people wanted to leave Eritrea and felt safer in Ethiopia. That’s why their future is on the line too. So, we don’t know what will happen, but surely nothing good comes out of this. Peace.

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.
