“The decision to include regional special forces in different security structures and practical activities will be based on research. This approach has a great benefit to gather our economic capacity and improve the training, weapons and living conditions of our army. Understanding this, the process is being carried out in all regions with understanding and discussion. However, in some of the special forces in Amhara region, on the one hand, there have been acts of failure to understand the reorganization and purpose, and on the other hand, by the false information spread by the false news spread by the false agenda of destruction. Among the false agendas that are circulating, the reorganization program is only taking place in the Amhara region. How can the special force of the region be disarmed before TPLF is disarmed and others are found. These agendas are being breathed by forces that want to hinder the process” (FDRE Government Communication Service, 06.04.2023).
We are living in interesting times, as the Prosperity Party and the Medemer Terror takes to new regions. Just like the PP under Prime Minister Abiy has target Oromia, Ogaden, Afar and Tigray. It is now evident that his turning on the allies in Bahir Dar and Gondar. That is obvious, because the regime is using the brutal tactics it has done elsewhere. This is now being reported, the mass arrests, the abductions and use of lethal force on citizens. Therefore, the parties who has strong support in Amhara region is reacting and now turning on PP.
These two parties are the Ezema and NAMa who are part of the government. They have a minister each and have been a vital support of the government. These two parties has worked together with PP and dined with it. The two parties cannot now act like opposition when they are embedded with the PP. As long as PP was working to annihilate Tigray region and the TPLF. These two parties was on-board with the destruction, looting and possible genocide there. However, now that the same murderous tendencies and police brutality comes homes. It was wrong in Tigray and all the other regions… and it is wrong in Amhara as well.
Though it is interesting that they are so vocal about it and are called out by the PP party. If the two parties are sincere in their messaging and their statements. They should do more than just Press Releases. Since they are still dining with the PP and haven’t resigned from government. Meaning these statements are sort of hallow. However, it is still very unique that it happens now and that they are spreading this sort of messages for the world to see.
First is a snippet of Ezema before you can read the NAMa one.
“We have confirmed from different sources that the federal government has made a decision to integrate regional special forces into federal and regional legal security structure. We have also seen the statement given by the government communication service yesterday evening on March 28th. This decision should not be questioned unless it is delayed. Regional special forces that have been set up without legal action in the past few years. It is appropriate and right to put them under the security order by the federal government. It is known that our party has been fighting for Ethiopian citizens for social justice (EZEMA) the reflection of the ethnic politics of the regional special forces to enter into a legal security structure, through various analytical documents and election debate platforms. This is the stance of EZEMA and the threat of Tigray region special forces on the Ethiopian defense force. Confirmed by the war they opened. Not only in Tigray region armed forces but also in all areas of our country. We understand administration boundaries. The question is that the origin of the Oromia, Somali, Amhara, Sidama, Afar and Benishangul special forces are clashing with each other. It is this situation is still going on in some regions. This has put an end to the sovereignty of the country besides hurting innocent citizens. Therefore, we support the inclusion of a regional special force that is established without the law and order of a region or tribe under a legal security structure” (Ezema – Ethiopian Citizens for Social Justice, 07.04.2023).
“Despite the notice given by the ruling party, our party has realized that there is a huge tension between the special forces of the Amhara region and the federal security agencies. The Amhara region special force has repeatedly performed country rescue missions. The defense force is a country’s shield that has made history as a reliable front shield and back gate. This reflected history is a fact that is trusted and known by the members of the defense force and the entire people of our country. The decision taken by the government to dismantle this force without adequate preparation, discussion, mutual understanding and trust and the way it is going to implement its decision is irresponsible and it will cause a lot of instability not only in Amhara region but also nationwide. It will lead the region and our country Ethiopia to another cycle of crisis. Our party would like to warn the ruling party, the federal government, the Amhara regional government and all regional administrations that this is a dangerous move” (National Movement of Amhara – NAMa – ‘A press release given by Amhara National Movement (ANM) on current issues’ 06.04.2023).
These two Press Release’s are saying the same thing and is a dissenting voice in concern of the PP. They are even speaking ill of the government, which they are part of. The PP are addressing it through the FDRE Government Communication Services. That is a compelling case that the PP is addressing the Ezema and NAMa this way. Especially, when we have seen how the parties have addressed the TPLF in the past few years. Their vilification was overboard, but it was fitting their agenda. Which was to eradicate and annihilate the Tigray region. That’s why NAMa and Ezema feels left out, because their goals wasn’t succeeded. These two parties wanted the war prolonged and with the weakening of Amhara. The Amhara allies and the parties who are based there feels the pinch now.
PM Abiy are ruthless and reckless. He can ditch allies quickly and make them enemies. The NAMa and Ezema should know this. Ezema wasn’t long ago a designated “terrorist organization” as part of the coalition was Ginbot 7 and Berhanu Nega was in exile in Eritrea. So, the leader of Ezema should know how fickle life in politics is and shouldn’t challenge a man like Abiy.
We have told that PM Abiy has unleashed the Medemer Terror. Now it is happening in the stronghold of these two parties. It isn’t happening in Oromia, Ogaden, Afar or Tigray. No, now it is coming home and the state produced terror is hitting home. That’s why the Amhara parties are worried that their power will weaken with lack of Regional Special Forces. They are worried that they cannot control or have the advantage of local soldier at their disposal, which has been used in the war on Tigray. The Amhara parties are worried they are the targets and the first one to be in the firing line in this conflict.
PM Abiy should also be informed about this… we know he is a brutal tyrant that has been proven over the years. Now the tyranny is on the rise in Amhara too. The part of the Tripartite Alliance who invaded Tigray. Now that their guards are down… they have become targets of the state. The Amhara elites should have seen the signs, but they thought they were supreme. Because, they all fought until recently for the same cause. Peace.
