Ethiopia, not just its officials, Stands accused of Genocide
=================
When Abiy weaponised the House of Federation (HOF) to stop all legal relationships with Tigray in 2020, in effect, it moved to eject and expel Tigray from the Federation. This is why we have been saying that the primary legal tie between Tigray and Ethiopia now is the Pretoria Ceasefire Agreement which invokes the constitution secondarily, and that only in regard to the implementation of the terms of the ceasefire.
Ever since the regime’s fateful act of ejecting Tigray from the Ethiopian Federation, the constitutional tie was broken. As far as Tigray was concerned, the constitution was rendered inoperative. Whether the Pretoria Agreement’s vague invocation of the constitution has a restorative significance is unclear, and is yet to be debated among lawyers.
Nevertheless, the fact that the regime ejected one of its regions from the federation at will as a prelude to its genocidal war will be remembered as a historical first in the empire’s constitutional-legal narrative.
And this formal act of isolating Tigray is one evidence showing how the genocidal campaign was a premeditated, systematic, and coordinated project of the Ethiopian government. This is where it formally began.
This is why the Ethiopian State as such stands accused for the crime of genocide. For this makes for a comprehensive indictment of Ethiopia before ICJ.

From Nobel peace prize to civil war: how Ethiopia’s leader beguiled the world
The long read: When Abiy Ahmed took power in Ethiopia, he was feted at home and abroad as a great unifier and reformer. Two years later, terrible violence was raging. How did people get him so wrong?
