Hello all,
I have said last week something big is coming up soon, well here are some of it.
TPLF Negotiations
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said there is going to be negotiations with the terrorist group TPLF.
State of Emergency Lifted
The Ethiopian cabinet passed the lift of the state of emergency. This looks like paving the way for negotiations.
Terrorist List and TPLF
There is a rumor of taking #TPLF off the terrorist list. Well, they have to take them off the list to start negotiations.
Fighting in Afar
Three major districts in #Afar, Ethiopia has been captured by TPLF fighters. While the federal government has said the war is over and is giving military promotion and celebration cities in Afar and Amhara regions are coming under attack from TPLF fighters nonstop. Civilian casualties are severe and medical facilities are destroyed and looted by TPLF fighters on the previous occupation that lasted months.
Generals Become Ambassadors
While Afar and #Amhara people are waiting for the country’s military to come and rescue them from ongoing aggression, two of the top Generals have been promoted to be Ambassadors abroad. Confused 😖? Me too! You will think common sense will dictate they will be sent to the front lines to figure out this war and no war business.
U.S. Aid for Oromia
#USAID gave the Oromia region 10 billion Birr for resilience. Wait for what? 😮 It was the Amhara and the Afar that was hit by locust, drought, and war, not Oromia. So, why are they getting this money? Well, it looks like that must be how much it cost to set Sibhat Nega free and to come to the negotiating table with the terrorist group TPLF.
Afar / Amhara Alliance
The Amhara special forces, #Fano fighters, and militia are mobilizing to support the Afar brothers and sisters on the front lines. This is a very much-needed alliance that needs to be encouraged. #afarandamharaalliance
If you are as surprised and disappointed in the Ethiopian government as I am, I think it is clear that they are not thinking, planning, and negotiating on behalf of Ethiopia. It rather looks like they are looking out for Oromia. They are not going to wait for 27 years to secede from #Ethiopia, they are already doing nation-building right under our eyes.
Last March 2021 the US gave Abiy’s government $2.2 Billion for a safety net program. Then there is this news where Italy and Ethiopia signed an agreement to strengthen the Oromia health system. So how much is dissecting Ethiopia worth?
Back a few years back, giving the Sudanese refugees numbered more than the Ethiopian Gambela citizens Ethiopian citizenship was $3 billion. So far the Oromuma Abiy administration is willing to let us go one by one for a price. I wonder how much will it be to have the Ethiopia we knew back in my childhood?! 🤔
Conclusion
Afar and Amhara you are left to your wits. So, use it and create an alliance. That will be mutually beneficial and crucial for both people to survive.Â
Amhara near and far arm yourself. The big war is coming. Anytime now Tigrayean force will try to capture rich farmlands lands from Amhara and potassium-rich mines from Afar and make an agreement with Abiy to declare their independence. Taking with them our land and history. Â Therefore, both Afar and Amhara should prepare themselves for anything.Â
Both Oromo and Tigre could declare independence simultaneously. The two ethnicities that will object to these events Amhara and Afar will be engaged by multiple forces from different directions. Hence, it would be crucial to be ready for anything. We the Amharans should expect war to break with #Sudan, #Benshangule, #Oromo, #Qimant, #Agew Shenigo, and #Tigrayan all at once. Though it seems daunting and improbable it is better to study all scenarios and possibilities and to make plans in accordance.Â
The rest of us continue to shed light on PM Abiy’s shady deals and hypocrisy. Let us continue to enlighten our people and assist in any way possible to get them ready for whatever lies ahead.
Continue to be a voice to the voiceless!!!
