A year ago, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abi Ahmed received the Nobel Peace Prize. But then, not exactly seven days earlier, he had sent a military mission to the north of the country. When the struggle takes steps to turn into a serious and swift conflict of respect. Kerala Senior NPR guides us through the action.
Ethiopia without him changes everything in Ethiopia. That is, at home he introduced a number of changes based on voting. And then he also tries to achieve a certain reconciliation with Ethiopia's human enemy, Eritrea. During his address to Nobel, he discussed how to fight there and saw it as an example of hellfire. We must step in to touch this discourse.
(Short clip from ARCHIVE RECORD)
ABI Leader AHMED: I have seen the brothers slaughtering the brothers on the front lines. I have seen more experienced young men, women, and men tremble in fear under a dangerous rain of shells and shells. War makes humans cruel, cold-blooded, and savage.
PENALTY: He said that war produces tough, cruel and savage people. When Abi took over, the people of the city of Ethiopia also revealed to me that he was God sent. Also, he's starting this new fight now in the same part of the country where this Ethiopian-Eritrean conflict is taking place, and the Air Force is currently bombing the country.
CORNESH: What is the reason for that statement? Besides, how terrible was the fight?
STRAFE: So it's confused with that motive - but it's actually a power struggle. Abiy Ahmed took over in 2018 after a major uprising. He also crushed Ethiopia's decision-making party, which had ruled the country with ferocity and cruelty for some 30 years. The people who run everything are the TPF, the Tigray People's Liberation Front, and they are removed. Since then, Abi has accused him of destabilizing the nation through increasing ethnic pressure. Abiy's partners have blamed him for his death, including the engagement to Abiy himself. In addition, the agency announced a week ago that the PLF had sent forces to attack government troops and that Abiy was currently deploying his military in the areas Tigray requested.
How dire the struggle against his motives is that the authorities have shut down telephone lines and the Internet is hard to report at this time. Actually, I was looking forward to the visa. Reuters, which has a columnist on the site, said hundreds of people were killed on every page. Sudanese state media also reported that many exiles had begun to flee their country. So I'm not kidding.
CORNESH: What is the tiger warrior saying now?
PENALTY: This is a big joke. They called the power of the state oppressive and dangerous, and with these words the power of the public turned against them. They also said they were available for conversation. However, you know, the same way they say that if they are hit hard, they plan to fight back in the same way when they are hit hard.
CORNISH: Elder, we discussed the risk of common conflicts. What's the stake here?
PENALTY: They are huge. Some investigators say this could be similar to Yugoslavia, where Ethiopia is divided. Moreover, Ethiopia is the second largest country in Africa in terms of population. Moreover, the dispute could further tighten Eritrea and even Sudan. Also, when expanded, it can really mess up the now very strong locale. Also, we can't just see this as a provincial government versus an extraordinary government. That said, it is indeed a very well-equipped, well-trained military versus other well-equipped and trained militaries in a highly sensitive area of Africa.
