Tog

You read Matt Brydon's SAHAN "research", "leaked report", propaganda, disinformation piece and bought it? It's the same folks as Crisis Group. Are you willing to follow them? Not me. Sorry!

Revelations thank you for sharing this wonderful article

The writer, Jon Abbink knows TPLF very well not by reading books or articles written about TPLF but by living In Ethiopia and watching them how they were working and misruling Ethiopia in the past 27+ years.

His book entitled "A Decade of Ethiopia: Politics, Economy and Society 2004-2016" is a good testimony!

This is well put.

Rev - Thanks for sharing.

[[...12. The idea of a ‘national dialogue’ in Ethiopia sounds so nice but is a fake one, launched by some less-informed observers and by some Ethiopian opposition parties that feared being side-lined, and some of whose leaders have been active in fomenting violence. There were elections in June this year, remember? PM Abiy Ahmed’s ruling Prosperity Party received a big mandate. Yes, there were many problems, but these still were serious elections. The results provided the basis for a new political compact (a 2nd round in some remaining constituencies will be held on 6 September). Extra-parliamentary manoeuvring to get representation and invite sabotaging parties like the remnants of TPLF to a ‘national dialogue’ is incorrect, if not devious. It is a deflection of the political process. It is also forgotten that there is already a ‘Joint Council of Political Parties’ in Ethiopia, a forum that regularly consults with the government.

13. In short, a call to peace is fine and needed. But it is perhaps too early and ways forward are difficult to see. TPLF will never accept it. They have posed ridiculous preconditions. They will continue wreaking destruction and go on killing civilians and destroying infrastructure and property in northern Ethiopia. There is an element of deep hatred in their activities. So they are not really a party in any ‘negotiation’. The Tigrai Region’s ordinary people may think otherwise, but we can’t hear them. Other ways have to be found by the Tigrayan people to mediate/negotiate. The Ethiopian people (including its academics, few of whom will ever sign the Open Call of the concerned African intellectuals), are in large majority behind PM Abiy Ahmed. It would be paradoxical and sad to see African intellectuals become unwitting tools of Western misconceptions and misguided policy machinations. The Ethiopian federal government is not without its mistakes and failings, but in this tragic case of the Tigrai conflict it needs (critical) support. Many Tigrayans in the rest of Ethiopia are also opposed to the TPLF. Some serve in the federal government, some in the armed forces, and others in all kinds of institutions and walks of life. It is not something ‘ethnic’. Among the TPLF we don’t SEE any positive traits right now. Because of their choice for death and destruction, the TPLF is destined to decline. Their expiry date is long overdue....]]
