Recurring nightmare: Ethiopia risks famine (The Economist)

Post by sarcasm » 23 Jan 2021, 12:40

It has been almost two months since Abiy Ahmed, Ethiopia’s prime minister, prematurely declared victory in the war between the federal government and its rivals in the northern region of Tigray, the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front.

But the military gains have brought neither peace nor stability. A humanitarian crisis is brewing. The vast majority of the region’s roughly 6m people have been without adequate food, water or medicine since fighting began in November.

According to the interim regional administration, more than 2m civilians have been driven from their homes. Outside the regional capital, banks, markets and shops are shut, and hospitals are low on supplies.

Some food has arrived in areas which are firmly under federal control, but huge swathes of TPLF-held territory are in effect under blockade. Aid groups accuse the government of preventing them from reaching those most in need—and fear impending famine. That is something that Ethiopians, tragically, know all too well.

That is Agames problem it is not our problem. They brought it upon themselves. If they want to solve this and other related problems it is easy instead of crying wolf just collaborate with the federal government, because it is the law, to give away the location of the criminal junta. Once the clean-up is completed Agames can start their normal Kulkwal farming.

However, I do not believe they want the clean-up to be completed the military withdraw and left by themselves. They want the military to be there to support their tiny winy economy and at the same time continue crying about their human right and use the scenario to migrate to Sudan or any other third country and be settled in the west. These Agames do not want to go back to the old lifestyle they are used to steal and embezzle others' property as TPLF army. They do not have any work ethics which is proven in the past 20years they appoint 500 grade 4 general who are decimated in two weeks.
