US
and EU: An accomplice to TPLF Genocide in Ethiopia.
By Abel

By
now it must be clear to every Ethiopian that the western media is neither free
nor impartial. Everything it does is intertwined with the western interest. If
the news does not serve the western interest, thousands of people could
disappear without the world population hearing a single word about their
demise. Conversely, if the news serves the western interest, even the death of
one person could be a big deal. Although both countries are in the same region,
compared to the news coverage given to the popular uprising in Egypt, you could
say the western media coverage of the current TPLF minority regime genocide of
the Amhara and Oromo people in Ethiopia is nothing. This is mainly because the
western TV networks need a green light from their governments to report the
news. No green light means no coverage. That explains the deafening silence of
CNN and other big TV networks on the genocide the TPLF minority regime has
unleashed on the innocent Amhara and Oromo people in Ethiopia.
Imagine
if this were in Eritrea, The Martine Plaut’s, The Leonard Vincent’s, The Dan
conell’s, and others could have made a big noise out of it. In fact, the
monitoring group’s and the Keetharuth’s could have even pushed it to the
security council and made even a bigger news out of it. But when it comes to
Ethiopia you do not hear them saying even a single word. The reason is they do
not have the green light from their financial backers to talk about it. If you
incentivized people to act in a certain way, they will act the way you want
them to act. Hence the so called human right advocates, UN agencies and News
stations are incentivized to protect western interests. That is why so many
people have a reasonable suspicion about the mission of these institutions and
are often tend to reject it.
Currently
the Oromo and Amhara people, all over Ethiopia, are voicing their opposition to
the TPLF, Tigray minority looters, who happen to control the current government
in Ethiopia. The opposition by the Amhara and Oromo people to the TPLF minority
rule in Ethiopia is important for so many reasons:
1.
It is an opposition to a minority by a majority.
The
Amhara’s and Oromo’s, who make 80% of the population of Ethiopia, are opposing
the TPLF minority regime that makes less than one percent of the 6% Tigray
population. If the western media daily preaching for democracy, rule by the
majority and human right was really from the heart, then the current majority
voice in Ethiopia could have mattered and gotten a wide coverage. Again when it
comes to Ethiopia, it is easy to learn that western interest comes before human
rights and democracy. TPLF is an anchor messenger of the western world in the
horn of Africa. Hence for the western world it is better to support the
messenger that makes less than 1% of the people of Ethiopia than the will of
the 80% Ethiopians. That is how the western system works.
2.
It is an opposition to Economic injustice.
Although
the TPLF minority regime in Ethiopia makes less than one percent of the 6%
Tigreans, it controls almost 90% of the Ethiopian economy. It placed its
supporters who are mainly Tigreans in Federal government positions, established
parastatal institutions that run the economy, and takes fertile land from the
Amhara’s and Oromo’s to settle minority Tigreans in Addis Ababa,
Wolakite-zegede and Wollo. There is no better Testament to TPLF tribalism than
the recent revelations that the employees of the office of the late prime
minister of Ethiopia Meles Zenawi, who hails from Tigray, were all Tigreans. To
continue resettling Tigreans in other regions in Ethiopia TPLF continues to
place vibrant cities in Ethiopia under the federal government. A city Under
federal government of Ethiopia means under the control of Tigreans because the
federal government is controlled by Tigreans. While the Oromo’s are fighting
Tigrean expansion and settlement in Addis Ababa, the Amhara’s are fighting the
looting and annexation of their fertile land of Wolkaite-Zegede by Tigray
state, which is the foot hold of TPLF.
3.
It is an opposition to TPLF hidden agenda.
Everyone
knows that TPLF is preparing its foothold Tigray state for future independent
country. If that was not the case, there is no reason for TPLF to take land
from Wollo, Gonder and Eritrea to create the greater Tigray. If TPLF believed
in one Ethiopia, it would let every Ethiopian move all over Ethiopia freely to
make an ends-meat. Borders should not have mattered at all. There is no reason
to annex fertile land from neighboring states and give it to its foothold Tigray
region. TPLF land grab is not limited to within Ethiopia. Due to TPLF’s false
land claim from an independent country Eritrea, about 70,000 Ethiopian solders
lost their life during the 1998-2000 border war. Later the Eritrean-Ethiopia
border commission in The Hague ruled the flash point Badme belongs to Eritrea.
TPLF’s continuous occupation of Badme, despite the border commission’s ruling,
and repeated conflict with Eritrea explains TPLF’s determination to expand
Tigray at any cost, off course cost paid by the people of Ethiopia.
4.
It is an opposition to Tyranny.
It
cannot be further from the Truth If I say the minority TPLF regime is an
occupying Army in Ethiopia sponsored by the US and EU. The minority TPLF regime
steals elections, and when the Ethiopian people mount an opposition to TPLF’s
stealing voting ballots, it goes on a killing spree without any repercussions
from its sponsors. In the year 2000, more than 200 Ethiopians, who opposed the
TPLF’s vote stealing, were killed in execution style and more than 50,000 were
arrested. As a revenge to ONLF’s attack on Chines’ gas exploration facilities
in Ogden, TPLF carpet bombed the Ogden region and people fled to refugee camps
in Kenya. Last year about 700 Oromo’s youth and women were killed because they
opposed the confiscation of their land surrounding Addis Ababa for Tigrean
resettlement in Addis Ababa. The killing in Gondar and other places continues
even as you read this article. In return for all this atrocities TPLF is
unleashing on the Ethiopian people, it is rewarded by a significant money from
the US and the EU and a seat in the United security council.
5
It is an opposition to ethnic based politics, regionalism and TPLF divide and
rule policy.
The
fact that TPLF makes less than one percent of the 6% Tigreans, it had to cut
and slice the Ethiopian people into ethnic groups and work hard to turn them
against each other. That policy may have worked for the last 25 years. However
recently the Ethiopian people realized the consequences of the wicked TPLF
divide and rule policy and are coming together to challenge it. The unity among
the Oromo’s, Amhara’s, Christians and Moslems witnessed recently is a big blow
to the TPLF minority regime and may be the single most weapon that could help
them to send the TPLF minority regime back to Tigray. The Ethiopian people
understood that it is only when they unite they become strong.
In
conclusion, the Ethiopian people should not expect the western media to cover
their opposition to the TPLF minority regime unless the western world thinks
TPLF rule in Ethiopia is coming to an end. Hence the mission of the current
opposition in Ethiopia should be to show the western world that TPLF is not a
feasible western partner anymore and they have to find a new one, that is the
Ethiopian people.
Victory
to the Masses.
