Ethiopia: Salsay Weyane Tigray – Tigray Youth Flee War’s Devastation, Face Peril Abroad (11.03.2024)















It is dark. It is grim and the pictures portrayed by the opposition and the ones who dares to speak is brutal. The stories and the tales from the battlefield are horrific. The internal wars of Ethiopia is self-destructive. There is a situation, which is more harm, damage and destruction of the fabric of society. These wars will have a toll on the nation for years and decades to come.
It was all done so one man could facilitate and consolidate all power within his reign. The Prime Minister who spoke of medemer but delivered the “medemer terror”. The Party of Prosperity, which happen to bring the opposite. The government who talks of peace, but orders war. The government that speaks of food security but offers famine and starvation. That’s who is in control and reigning the Republic.
Prime Minister Abiy and his lackeys are fine with the detrimental affairs and the pre-determined attacks on people’s liberty, freedom, and ability to live. It doesn’t matter which region, which people or who they are. As long as they are under the banner of the nation and are a part of Ethiopia. Then you are within shooting range, arrest and torture. You can be touched and there is a possibility they will go after you. Even if you are a high ranking official or a common civilian. It doesn’t matter, the state will find you and you will regret doing anything.
Just read these statements or press releases from Ezema and Oromo Liberation Army (OLA-WBO)!
Ezema statement:
“It has been known that since April last year, there has been an exchange of fire between the government and the armed groups operating in the region. Earlier, our party has stated the mistakes, faults and weaknesses that he mentioned as the source of this problem. It has also condemned various bodies that are down to fulfill their personal needs by making this instability as a result of their own needs. Moreover, it has presented their ideas for solutions to this. However, this conflict is still going on and we have understood from the information released by the human rights commission and other agencies that our country has accepted and the international human rights conventions and the state of emergency that should be protected by the government security forces that take away the right to live” (Ethiopian Citizens for Social Justice (EZEMA), 14.02.2024).
Oromo Liberation Army (OLA-WBO) Press Release:
“President Salawarq Zawde, as PM Dr. Abiy Ahmed said “the one who hates our work is only alien and alien (Bada and Banda) is not an example of the people who carry the people by force, but their interests for the peace of Ethiopia people. They have spoken that it is light and visible in Adababayi. In their speech “Brothers against brotherhood is a breaker not something we preach as victory, we have to inherit the past history and inherit the generation as it is, the people can’t go out peacefully; this should worry us” the idea is out of their mouth. It is a good idea since there is a solution that is aimed at it. Knowing the source of the problem of the country and working for the solution for justice, but it requires determination to ask the leaders of all issues. Now the basic question of Ethiopian people is to get peace and their rights protected. The people who lost peace, have been crippled for 6 years under guns in North-South, East-West and failed to get back to the Biltsignan party’s war is being shattered. This is why we say the basic and first question of nations and nationalities, Ethiopian people is to get the question of peace and peace of the nation” (OLA, 13.02.2024).
These public statement or release’s has been unleashed only in the last 48 hours. There been plenty more and could have addressed older ones from ENAT Party too for that matter, but it would be to long.
What is striking is that the parties are saying the Prosperity Party and the Prime Minister knows the solution. They are even specifically saying the PP and PM knows the problems and what has caused it. Therefore, if there was a will and a way, the PP and the PM could have resolved it. However, we know there isn’t a will or a way to do so. That would mean the PP and PM had to humiliate themselves and not get their way.
This the tragedy here… the knowledge, the expertise and the wisdom are here. Nevertheless, the attitude, the egos and the blatant disregard for others are the leading principal. This is why nothing will stop the war and the conflicts from hurting the Republic even more. The damage is done, and people will be scorned for years to come. That’s all for one megalomaniac will to be a warlord and a tyrant.
Abiy won’t be remembered for peace or prosperity. No, he will be known for war and death. The tyranny of the nation and how he did whatever in his power to make his enemies suffer. Everyone surrounding his enemies too. Their kids, grandparents, and other relatives too. Whole regions became warzones and was burned because the PM didn’t get his way. That’s all there is too it and it’s tragic. So many people losing their lives, just so the PM can chant a distasteful psalm from his palace. That’s who he is, and the world should know it. Peace.


“based on the available information, there have been no reported deaths attributed to starvation, so far” – Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali (06.02.2024)
Just imagine a Head of State, the Commander-in-Chief, and the Executive Branch of Government acts like your plight, suffering and such doesn’t exist. That’s what is happening in Ethiopia.
The Prime Minister was speaking in Parliament this week and acting like famine, starvation or droughts was hurting to the extent it does. The deaths and weaponized humanitarian aide are now hurting the citizens across the Republic.
Abiy is showing that a ruthless warlord. The ones believing that his a caring or concerned leader is false. He rather sees civilians die and do so because their leaders didn’t obey or bow their knees to the PM. That’s why this is happening. He takes people to war and try to kill the ones in his way. That’s who Abiy is and he shows it.
We know that he see dead people as fertilizer for trees. That the decomposing bodies helps to grow trees. This is paraphrasing him, but he has said so in the past. So, what he said this week continues his blatant disregard of people. Where he doesn’t acknowledge their demise…
It is just disappointing to say the least. Shows how he isn’t worried about them. If it is the people suffering in Tigray, Afar, Amhara, Oromia or Ogaden for the matter. We have seen people die and it’s all done either by bureaucracy or a will to hurt the community at large. This is what Abiy has done in the name of law enforcement and constitutional order.
Alas, he isn’t respecting the people or their needs. No, it is only about his circle of power and his need to control everything. He needs his men to be “yes-men” and bend to his every whim. If they don’t or doesn’t accept this memo. He will do what he can to destroy you and everyone around you. That’s why he starts wars and never ends them.
It is just tragic that this Medemer Terror continues. That Abiy still gets awards and accolades, while people are in dire straits. People are in danger and living in horrendous situations. While the PM is busy building a palace and showing pictures of wheat fields. Meanwhile lots of people are malnourished and lack food security. That’s the grim reality and the deaths will continue. The deaths will not only happen on the battle-fields or in the trenches, but in the villages and homes. As people cannot eat and they cannot get their needs met. However, Abiy will not acknowledge or credit that. Instead he will blame someone else or say it’s their fault that they died.
It is just tragic. There is no remorse and no justification. Only more death. No more hope or a possibility to get out of this juxtaposition. No, because the PM and his allies doesn’t care. They are not profiting of it and they don’t have a scheme to overcome it. As long as it is a cost and is humiliating for the PM. He will not do it and he don’t care what happens to others. The PM needs the incentive and the glory for his actions. If the PM doesn’t get that… then he won’t do it or even think it is necessary. Peace.
