Facing the Truth: TPLF 

Domination Exists All Over 

Ethiopia!

This topic can no longer be 

avoided and must be 

confronted because if it is not, 

it might reach a boiling point 

and the consequences will be 

unbearable. Preventing such a 

catastrophe from happening is 

something that I and others in 

the SMNE (http://

www.solidaritymovement.org/index.php) are strongly 

pursuing because we are so fearful that if we do not deal 

with this now, it may be too late. 

However, those in the Solidarity Movement for a New 

Ethiopia, cannot do it alone. We must work together to 

change this now, especially re-emphasizing that when we 

talk about Tigrayans, we must be reminded that it is not all 

Tigrayans who are benefiting from this Tigrayan-controlled 

government.

We also know there are countless numbers of Tigrayans 

who are extremely opposed to this regime and that they 

have suffered greatly for being lumped together with the 

TPLF; however, I strongly encourage those Tigrayans who 

have been silent on this issue, to come forward in large 

numbers and speak out about this wrong.

We recognize that there is fear and risk in doing so, but if 

Tigrayans do not speak out, people will assume that things 

must be good for them and that they want the TPLF to stay 

in power. I know some Tigrayan brothers and sisters who 

are anti-Meles or his wife, but are not “anti” the TPLF 

system or “one-tribe domination.” Do not fool yourselves, 

for this entire system in Ethiopia is built on a model of 

exploiting others. This is why it is so important for our 

Tigrayan brothers and sisters to speak out.
