“Because peace is a foundation for everything that we are aspiring to transform the life of our people if we could eliminate Al Shabab and OLF from this region you can see how this people can be transformed into one family, one country and one people” – Prime Minister Ahmed Ali Abiy in Kenya on the 9th December 2020
Now that the National Army, Eritrean Army and Amhara Paramilitary (Fano) is attacking the Tigray state. As they are aiming to annihilate the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) as they have been fighting since the 3rd November 2020. The Prosperity Party and Federal Government seemingly wants more “enemies”.
The Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) have in the past been labelled as a terrorist organization. However, Abiy and EPRDF did the legit in 2018. Now two years later the PP seems to make the political party again a pariah. Their leaders are already behind bars.
The PP and Government Officials have claimed they are aiming at OLF-Shane/Shene. Though the OLF says this spilt doesn’t exists. The only that exists here is the targeted measures of the state and going after activists in the Oromia state. As their leaders are already behind bars or charged by the state. Which they have been for so long now and even family members have been behind bars. Just because their parents are active politicians and activists in Oromia.
That is why its really rich that the Prime Minister Abiy says the OLF is similar to Al-Shabaab. This is making a narrative and vilify them too. That the OLF is a troublemaker and deserves vengeance. Apparently the PP needs more enemies. To use the Federal Government and Security Organization in favour of destroy the ones who isn’t in accordance with the PM or the PP. This is how it seems.
When the ones he brokered a deal with and make peace with in 2018. Later arrested and have currently detained. These folks his attacking and claiming to be a militia and a danger to society. However, in Oromia it is more state sponsored violence that is fatal and extra judicial killings. Also lots of political prisoners, which the Prime Minister doesn’t take accountability for. Not that he ever will, but will blame them for something like always.
We can await a Command Post, State of Emergency and soldiers on the streets. If he will target the OLF. Maybe he will ensure the same procedure as he did with the TPLF. Deregister the political party and make them a terrorist organization again. Because the PM clearly needs enemies and needs total consolidation of control. As he favours “yes-men” and “total love” as anyone questions him is deemed illegal or “unconstitutional”.
The OLF seems to be the next target. Which will meet the blunt force of the state. They have already paid, but with this sort of statement. The PM is preparing to go after them as well. There will be no scorned earth, but a direct attack on the OLF. As their popularity is a force to reckon with ahead of the polls. This is why these needs to punished and silenced. Not enough to arrest, extra judicial killings and the rampant actions in Oromia.
He wants to take it further and with the rhetoric. We should expect the House of Federation issue decree or motion to call it a “terrorist” organization and there after go on a warpath there too. As they will go after everyone associated or even thinking about the OLF. Just like it has done to the TPLF.
Don’t be shocked or surprised. The War-Lord is here and his proud of it too. As his off the hook and only gets condemned. However, the man can carry that and continue his violent actions towards the citizens. Peace.
