A Tigrayan child soldier captured at Afar Front Armed groups that are distinct from the armed forces of a State should not, under any circumstances, recruit or use in hostilities persons under the age of 18 years. States Parties shall take all feasible measures to prevent such recruitment and use, including the adoption of legal measures necessary to prohibit and criminalize such practices. UN Article 4: Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict By Wondimu Mekonnen, 31 July 2021 England “JUST EAT ME WITHOUT A PRETEXT” An Ethiopian […] Yonas Biru, PhD July 31, 2021 After the September 11, 2001, attack in the US homeland, public diplomacy became a “top priority” of U.S. foreign policy. In an excellent 2005 article in the Institute for Policy Studies, John Gershman and R.S. Zaharna took note that “The perceptions of foreign audiences have domestic consequences, and public diplomacy, a government’s tool for communicating with foreign publics and changing negative perceptions, quickly became the buzz in Washington after the attacks.” The two authors further added: “Fighting information battles by disseminating messages over mass media channels has become the communication equivalent of conventional warfare… Controlling […] Belay S July 31, 2021 The Federal government declared an immediate, unilateral cease-fire in its Tigray region after nearly eight months of deadly conflict on humanitarian grounds so that desperately needed aid can be delivered, to provide an opportunity for farmers to plant during the rainy season and to engage with other groups who seek peace. The TPLF undermined the declaration and resumed its attacks in the region’s rough terrain. It has already made several attempts at forcibly occupying the neighboring regions and people are mobilizing to repel the invasion. Many people have several questions about the management of this […]

[…] Belayneh Abate July 30. 2021 The Tigre Peoples Libation Front (TPLF) wiped out the prestigious social and religious assets such as the national conscience, yilugnita, shimglina, forgiveness, repentance, confession, witness, friendship, neighborhood, nationalism, unity and so on using the Ethiopian People Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) as a trojan horse. The TPLF went beyond what Satan did to the Serpent, Adam and Eve to detach even their ethnic patriarchs from God and make them work for TPLF. These very people whose hands are drenched in the blood of the unborn fetus, infants, children, young, adult, elderly, women are talking about negotiation […] By Kaleab Girma 29 Jul 2021 Addis Ababa, Ethiopia – Eritrean refugees have organised a protest in front of the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) office in the capital Addis Ababa, demanding the relocation of thousands of refugees from camps in the war-torn Tigray region. About 300 protesters blocked a road that led to the UNHCR office, holding signs that said “Stop abuse of Eritrean refugees” and “Protect the rights of refugees.” They also demanded basic humanitarian assistance from the UN agency and its Ethiopian counterpart – Agency for Refugees and Returnees Affairs (ARRA) – for thousands of refugees who have escaped the […] Tesfaye Yigzaw July 30, 2021 Before I begin my writing, I would like to suggest a very important message to all non-Arab Africans and Caribbean countries to have a permanent sit in the United Nations Security Council, which I will be explaining later at the end of this writing. Also, I would like to appeal in a short note to Hon. Karen Bass. First, the current saga of Tigray Region of Ethiopia: This region is an epicenter of Ethiopia’s political and economic crises for millennia with which not to have an obvious economic contribution of its own to the country unless […] ባለፈው ሳምንት “ከሃዲው ዳዊት ወልደጊዮርጊስን” አስመልክቶ “ዳዊት ወልደጊዮርጊስ – የጸረ ኢትዮጵያዊነት መገለጫ” በሚል እርዕስ ዜና ማቅረባችን ይታወሳል። በዜናው ግንባር የተጠቀሰው ሳይጀመር በከሸፈው “የሽግግር መንግሥት” ማመልከቻ ጉዳይ ነበር። ያተምነውን ዜና ተከትሎ አቶ ለማ መገርሳ “ተውኝ። ልኑርበት” ሲሉ ስለጉዳዩ ምንም እንደማያውቁ በይፋ መናገራቸው፣ ፕሮፌሰር ተዘራ ዳዊት የሤራው ስብስብ አገር ለመርዳት መስሏቸው ከገቡ በኋላ ሲያዩት ሃያ ሰባት ዓመታት […] […] Intense fighting is being reported in Ethiopia’s Amhara region – the latest sign that the war in Tigray is spreading to neighbouring regions. Officials in Amhara said federal soldiers as well as Amhara regional troops had been involved in the fighting against rebels of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). It comes as regions continue to mobilise forces to fight against the TPLF. Despite this, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s spokesperson said a unilateral ceasefire declared last month had not been suspended. Both the government and the TPLF have accused each other of escalating the conflict. In a separate development the […] |
