“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.
