Ethiopia: The Afar Region is a target and possible new front against the Tigray Region

Happening NOW! 150 containers of ammunition are entering Afar through the Djibouti boarder accompanied by 12 patrols, under drone surveillance. We must act now to stop the looming war. Heavy ammunitions are being stocked up in Semera and there are reports of 100s of soldiers getting deployed to Zone 4 (Afar/Tigray border) earlier today. Abiy Ahmed Ali is preparing yet another bloody war while fooling the rest of the world. We must wake up. Act Now!” (Afar Federalist Diaspora Coordination Committee, 17.04.2022).

Emergency food assistance immediately needed to avert famine and starvation the following towns of northern Afar:

❗️Dallol

❗️Barhale

❗️Konnaba

❗️Abaala

❗️Magaale

❗️Eribti and areas

❗️Other towns and kebeles in northern Afar under the TPLF occupation” (Afar Watch, 17.04.2022).

The Afar Region is in the centre and is carrying a blunt of the forces of the region. The reports however is stating that the Afar Regions Special Forces and the Pastoralists themselves is fencing of the invaders of the region.

The Tigray Defence Force has attacked parts of the Afar region for months now. While Issa-Somali militia continues with steady skirmishes. It is also alleged that the Oromo Liberation Army has attacked the region during the last few days. Therefore, it is the centre of the conflict and a hot-spot of atrocities.

While there is no proof of new enforcement or recruits sent from other regions to back the Afar Region up. Neither is there any reports of the Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) sending troops there. There was reports during March and early April of troops moving closer to the Amhara borders towards the Tigray region. While there has been no new advances or escalation thereof.

We know the state have announced their Humanitarian Truce with the Tigray region, but that is hallow and haven’t been substantial. With the knowledge and basis of former acts of the Federal State. As the “offensive” in the Oromia would wind down. There could be a possible a re-enforcement and re-engagement in Tigray from Afar. As the TDF is already there and they have a front-line there.

That wouldn’t shock anyone. The problems of the region is only becoming worse. As the Afar region is becoming a war-zone and a conflict area. Where the guns is never silenced. Where the battles are made and the homes are destroyed. Villages burned and people killed, as result of the senseless killing on all sides. The war is brutal and no one is left untouched.

We know this is happening, just like the Afar People’s Party reported on the 13th April: According to the fire that happened in Samurobi Geleelu Woreda, 162 residential and commercial shops have been burned down. Information shows that the estimated property of more than 56 million birr has been destroyed. And this has put the people affected by war, drought and cost of life in a worse situation. The Afar People’s Party expresses its deepest condolences to the families of the victims of the accident. I kindly request all the people of our country, charity organizations and international accident prevention organizations to extend their support to the families that have been affected by this Ramadan month” (Afar People’s Party, 13.04.2022).

This isn’t an isolated incident, as the war is ravaging and the conflict is hurting more people. That why zones, villages and towns are damaged. The various armed groups is creating this hostile territory and the Federal Government isn’t supporting the Regional State. They have moved possible ammunition for an offensive. But who knows when that happens and when they reinforce the ENDF there.

We know it is legit when Amhara Para-Military Group “Fano” is sending brigades to the Afar region and the Eritrean Defence Force (EDF) has sent troops too. When that happens. Then you know a counter-offensive against the Tigray Defence Force (TDF) is in the works and on schedule. Until then, the rumours are circulating and sooner or later something is happening. Peace.

Ethiopia: UN Organizations celebrates mediocrity – Humanitarian Assistance Blockade still ravaging large in Tigray region

All 50 trucks just arrived safely in #Mekelle, bringing essential humanitarian supplies including:

➡️1,000mt of wheat & pulses

➡️700mt of health, nutrition & WASH items

+ 115,000 litres of fuel” (World Food Programme Ethiopia, 15.04.2022).

Since the humanitarian truce of 24th March 2022 and that is 22 days of supposed opening of entry to the Tigray region. However, previously there has only come about 21 trucks into the region early in April. Now by the middle of the month on the 15th April it has come another 50 trucks. The United Nations and World Food Programme (WFP) praising the FDRE over it is obnoxious. When you know how the state has been working and using food insecurity as a weapon.

The region by previous estimates of needs are 100 trucks per day. In the middle of only the humanitarian truce by now. It would mean the UN and WFP should have driven convoys of a 100, every single day. However, they are barely scraping that after two famous entries of about 75 trucks on max. That isn’t something to salute. In the time of the Humanitarian Truce the region should have seen about 2000 trucks and such. To be exact, the state should have ensured that the region could see 2200 trucks get into Tigray.

The recent OCHA reports states the situation like this:

Humanitarian partners have not been able to move any additional aid supplies into Tigray via the Semera-Abala-Mekelle since the convoy of 20 trucks with food and nutrition supplies and one fuel tanker that arrived on 1 and 2 April, the first convoy since 15 December 2021. Humanitarian organizations in Tigray are facing growing challenges in reaching people in need due to shortages of essential supplies, and the continuing suspension of basic essential services, including banking, electricity, and communications. Food partners, for instance, remain with only around 1,300 metric tons (MT) of food commodities within Tigray out of which, there is merely enough stock or 360 MT to feed about 21,000 people with a balanced three-commodity food basket for one round. Between 4 and 8 April, humanitarian partners airlifted 100 MT of nutrition and medical supplies to Mekelle, Tigray. As of 11 April, the total amount of medical and nutrition supplies airlifted since the first cargo flight on 24 January is about 538 MT, equivalent to only 13 trucks of humanitarian supplies. The supplies included about 36 MT of HIV anti-retroviral medicines, the first time since July 2021. This will be enough to treat 46,000 HIV patients for six months. The airlifts remain limited to low quantities between 5 and 13 MT per flight and were prioritized according to the most urgent lifesaving needs, therefore cannot fill in the significant gap between the needs on the ground and the supplies delivered” (OCHA, 14.04.2022).

More than 9 million people need food assistance in northern Ethiopia and food assistance will be required throughout 2022 across northern Ethiopia. Provision of food assistance in hard-to-reach areas in Tigray, Amhara and Afar. Increased food needs due to increased number of IDPs in parts of Amhara and in Afar” (OCHA, 14.04.2022).

So, when you read what the last round of humanitarian assistance was able to help, which is about 21,000 people. You know the amount of trucks of humanitarian assistance versus the needs of the millions of people. It is easy to see the gaps which is enormous. This just shows how the humanitarian assistance have been weaponized and it’s a man-made famine.

The entries of the about the 75 trucks is only an anomaly and only patches the hurt, but it doesn’t fix the problems. This isn’t something to celebrate or sound victories. No, this is just disgraceful and shows how distasteful the FDRE are. The FDRE and Tripartite Alliance has created this monster, they are proud of blocking people’s ability to eat and starve them on-mass. That’s why they have allowed 75 trucks in a period the state should have seen over 2000 trucks should have entered the same area. That’s how unserious and careless they are about the plights of the Tigray region. The Addis Ababa and Asmara ruling elites wouldn’t care if Mekelle would burn to the ground and be left in the dust. That is what they are doing and we are not supposed to say anything.

The 75 trucks isn’t worth texts of gravitas and sending pigeons to Bahir Dar. No, it deserves contempt, as much contempt as the current regime has for the Tigray region. Peace.

Ethiopia: Abiy – How many parts of the Republic do you want to burn?

The Tigray region has been besieged for months, humanitarian assistance weaponized and a man made famine. While parts of Afar region is war-toned. The Western Tigray is burned, looted and a genocidal affair to get annexed by the Amhara region. While Northern Wollo has been destroyed and gotten war-torn as well.

In addition, the Republic has ensured to stifle, silence and got after dissidents with an iron fist in any region. The Ogaden or Somali Region there been no remorse and an absolute will to arrest, detain and keep political prisoners. The same can be said about regions too. There is really no where to find solace or peace.

The last few days… there is a new offensive to annihilate the Oromo Liberation Front/Army in Oromia. As there are several parts of Regional Special Forces, which are used to destroy the OLF/OLA. The most prominent is the usage of Somali RSF and they are the ones that is shown in pictures online.

While the blood is shed in Oromia. There is planned escalations and continuing the conflict in Tigray. As there are reports of troops moving into Afar and plans of invading it from there. That will be done with ENDF and Eritrean Defence Forces. Therefore, the Tripartite Alliance is still alive.

The Amhara Para-Military Group “Fano” is practically everywhere too. It has become a vital part of the army and the national ideals, the ethnocentric and Amhara nationalist unit. This is being not only deployed in Western Tigray and part of the campaigns there. It can be launched into other regions on behalf of the Amhara Regional State. That is how they do it to fight the battles of Amhara. This is why the prospects of a greater Amhara and Amhara centric views on the rise. Just like the Tigrayan and the Tigray People Liberation Front (TPLF) was the front of the EPRDF era.

The Prosperity Party which is the unified one-party made out the EPRDF without TPLF has become this. The PP has installed their puppets, their hand-picked leaders and representatives in an election. Which was the perfect selection and with no real opposition. Only the parties that could be seen as branches of the PP or who would work with the PP. That’s why the PP even let some of them become appointed to the cabinet too after the election.

Now, that you know this. It makes sense that the puppets of the regions are fighting the battles of Addis Ababa and Bahir Dar. They are fighting these crusades to get the pure regions. Certainly, just like the same folks has intended to bury and silence the Tigray for eternity. They are now ceasing an opportunity to let the Oromia burn. In such a manner, that gives further prospects of grandeur of the Amhara. The Somali regional President also got to show support and he can later get help to get rid of the ONLF, once and for all too. When the Federal Government is done with TPLF and OLF/OLA.

Everywhere Abiy touches, he burns and destroys. He doesn’t build or create peace. No, everywhere he is ensure death and bloodshed. There is only death and no possible way of peaceful future. It is only more destruction and devastation. It is no rest and everywhere there is dissidents, rebellion or possible revolts. The state will address it with blunt force and no remorse.

The Abiy regime will not bring hope of a better tomorrow. That is proven by the Tigray civil-war and how it has been done. The achievements of the state proves this and they will be remembered for the Medemer Terror. Just like the Derg was known for the Red Terror. Every village, town and zone is getting touched. It will be remembered, because somewhere and someone people know was scorned. The people was touched, hit and hit with plights of the terror of Abiy. That’s what his offering… while promising peace and prosperity. He promises reforms and grandeur, but comes with guns and ammunition. Abiy doesn’t come with dialogue or talks… no… everyone is to follow his orders and bow down to his greatness. If not… they are supposed to follow the directives and his leaders, which is puppets of his will. That’s why as long as this is happening. The destruction will continue and the plights will not be easier to carry.

It will be damages for generations to come. The costs will be enormous and the lack of trust in the Federal Government will linger on. The pains and the lost will be told about in tales. They will be martyrs of the Medemer Terror. That is the reality here. Just like ones that lost their lives for the Red Terror. The ones who fell now and fallen in the campaigns of the government will be remembered like this.

Just like people despised and felt betrayed by the Tigrayan minority and rule. The same fate will befall on the Amhara and the PP. That’s because the path it has chosen. Instead of building a better tomorrow. It has now ensured prolonged agony and hurt. The wars that Abiy wages doesn’t seem to have an end. Neither does the promise of swift endings either. That’s why he has so many names and protocols, but they never succeed. This is because the army and the government his running isn’t capable or have the will of the people to win it. These wars aren’t justified and this is why his slowly losing.

The blood is on his hands and he has nowhere to hide. The military fatigue and the proclamations will not do anything. It will only show his thirst for more and he will continue to he has annihilated anyone who could stand in his past of total supremacy. Peace.
