This, here, is only the tiny bit of the everyday mass murder the world is looking away from. This is a face of the suffering the world continues to enable #Abiy_Ahmed to perpetuate. This is how people are dying an excruciatingly brutal death. #Abiy_is_a_genocidaire!

Ethiopie : Tigré, au pays de la faim - ARTE Reportage - Regarder le documentaire complet | ARTE
Mekele, sa capitale, que jalousait le reste de l’Ethiopie pour sa modernité, roule désormais en calèche et le plein d’essence s’y négocie à 700 dollars.
A ce prix, les Tigréens restent cloués sur place. Une immobilité mortelle dans les campagnes profondes…

The genocidal attacks by #Faanno and the ANRS was a pattern that long preceded the wars on Tigray and Oromia. The barbarous massacre of Qemant civilians, the denial of burial to the dead; the burning of Qemant houses with families inside; the ethnic profiling at checkpoints and the brutal execution of Qemant persons on the spot; the looting and vandalising of Qemant villages; inflicting many more unspeakable horrors; and blaming the victim (calling them “Shanee” and/or “wayyaanee” was only the foretaste of what was to come later—and what is still happening in Oromia today. From the very start, it was part of #Abiy’s genocidal war on the other peoples of Ethiopia. We will chronicle and archive their crimes. We will name them for what they are. We will identify the perpetrators and shall call them out. Above all, we shall remember. We shall not forget it. Nor shall we forgive the perpetrators. Never!

Genuine Negotiation towards a Ceasefire Agreement, or a Tactic of Absorption of OLA into the Regime’s Power Structure?
==============
#AbiyAhmed’s reduction of the goal of negotiating with OLA to a tactic of absorbing a handful of OLA leaders into his government makes it clear that Abiy is not interested in ceasefire, let alone a lasting peace process leading to meaningful political settlement.
Ignoring the causes that OLA stands for and the popular demands for a more just political order (including through a democratic process of exercising self-determination) and focusing on throwing out some crumbs of power in stead is simply a non-starter. It is an insult to the people.
OLA must demand nothing less than a ceasefire to be followed by accountability of PP for all the mass atrocity crimes perpetrated in the last six years.
Yes, OLA must demand that PP agrees to bring its genocidal campaigns to an end and cooperate to surrender its criminal members to a genuine transitional justice process. That’s the only way to take us into negotiating a transition.
Plus, any negotiation/dialog after the ceasefire must be comprehensive (i.e it must address all the concerns of all stakeholders) and all-inclusive (i.e, multilateral). Anything less is a serious joke.
The so called mediators should also know that Abiy no more serves their interests. Making partisan peace (to give #AbiyAhmed a lease on life) is committing oneself to a perpetual war and instability in Ethiopia and the wider Horn of Africa region.
