ABIY RULES ETHIOPIA LIKE A KING: OROMO, AMHARA AND AA GOVERNMENTS ARE FOLLOWING SUITS
Abiy is running the country like his personal project, more like an absolute monarch. Watching his speeches at the Parliament is like watching a kindergarten teacher lecturing his/her 4- and 5-year-old students. The only thing missing are crayons and coloring books in front of the parliamentarians.
Watching his speech before the PP Executive Committee was even worse. Many of them listened attentively while taking notes on their writing pads. They looked like Kim Jong-Un’s disciples. I stand to be corrected, but N. Korea and Ethiopia are the only two countries whose high-level officials, parliamentarians, and party leaders come with writing pads to take notes. If you are not bothered by it, you are either a sycophant or oblivious to the tents of democratic governance.
In the last several days, Ethiopians have come to learn how Oromo, Amhara, and Addis Ababa (AA) Congresses are run.
Regarding the Oromo case, Taye Dandea Aredo (Spokesperson for PP-Oromo, State Minister at the Ministry of Peace and a Member of the Oromo Tribal Congress) issued disturbing statements on his social media accounts. He was denied the opportunity to speak at the Chafe of Oromia 3rd regular meeting. Before the meeting, Taye has been on the record accusing the Oromo tribal government of runaway corruption and of complacency if not culpability in the string of mass murder of Amhara people in the Oromo tribal land. According to hs posts, the Oromo Tribal Congress did not want to hear about: (1) accountability on issues related to the string of mass murders in Wellega; (2) budget allocation; and (3) Corruption.
The situation in the Amhara tribal land is no different. Tsega Aragie (Commissioner at Ethics and anti-corruption commission of the democratic republic of Ethiopia, and a member of PP-Amhara) wrote about a similar experience in the Amhara tribal Congress. He was denied the opportunity to speak during the Amhara Congress meeting. That was not enough. The Speaker of the House called police officers to kick the Congressman out of the meeting. It was only after other members protested that the police officers left. The Congressman is a courageous man not only now but also during TPLF’s era speaking up about Welkait. He is also the person who exposed Amhara leaders who embezzled $60 million Birr during the war with TPLF.
Amhara and Oromo tribal lands are no exception. Anyone who has watched a recent meeting of the Addis Ababa Congress cannot ignore the way the Speaker of the House continuously harassed a member of Congress not to speak. She finally cut him off. The meeting involved discussion about a botched condominium lottery. The person who was denied the right to defend himself was suspected of taking part in the corruption. The meeting was to waive his immunity from prosecution. The body language of the majority of the attending members spoke loudly that they were uncomfortable with what was going on.
We are witnessing Ethiopia slipping from a badly governed country to a corruptly governed dictatorship.
