A rebuttal to Dr Yonas Biru’s article (by Abawirtu) Dear Dr Yonas, TPLF, by its very nature, isn’t capable of honouring the Ethiopian constitutional order under Dr Abiy Ahmed. TPLF was given more than ample time to reconsider their archaic position; but to no avail. As you are aware, the Ethiopian government together with notable elders and renowned business people had been pleading with them for several months. That pleading was mistakenly taken and rendered fruitless when TPLF thugs did the unthinkable – massacring the unsuspecting Ethiopian soldiers in their sleep in the middle of the night.

RE: A Four Step Proposal for a Peaceful Resolution of the Conflict Between the Ethiopian Government and the Tigray Regional Government.Statement of Afar UGUUGUMO Q. A. R.D. SAMARA Afar People facing multiple catastrophic situations in the Region! Date: 28/07/2021 Ref: 0042/ARP/21 On 18/07/2021, the Tigray People Liberation Front (TPLF) invaded the Afar Region occupying four districts in Fanti-Rasu (zone 4). The main objective of TPLF invasion of Afar Region was not only to create conditions for ceasefire negotiations with the Ethiopian government by taking control over the strategic high road linking Addis Ababa to Djibouti and Assab as they claimed, but the real motive behind their invasion is to forcibly occupy Afar forcibly occupy Afar Region by killing anyone who dares to resist, […] 4002 Blacksmith Drive Garland, TX 75044 USA.

Then they smite the enemy with a vengeance. We are Ethiopia Strong. We are ENDF Strong! We are Ethiopia Invictus! Never have so many owed so much to so few! Last week, as I watched YouTube videos of Ethiopians celebrating and showing their enthusiastic support for their National Defense Force and listened intently to the outpouring […] Tegenaw Goshu July 28, 2021 I am not writing this piece to provoke unnecessary dialogue or conversation. It is just to suggest that as the way we engage in certain arguments or debates or conversations matters a lot, it is better to express ourselves accordingly instead of storming each other with all kinds of very personal, ugly, and unproductive words and phrases that have nothing to do with the points of view of our political thinking and beliefs. This piece refers to a comment by a compatriot on my recent piece titled “The Terrible Paradox of Our Political Behavior “on […] Ahmed Alimirah July 24, 2021 We strongly condemn the heinous indiscriminate attacks against the Afar people by The TPLF Junta. My condolences and sympathy go to the Afars who have suffered-those who have lost their loved ones, been displaced, and have suffered injuries and loss of property. The TPLF Junta is waging full scale war with heavy artillery and machine guns against Afar towns bordering the Tigray region. Hundreds of civilians are fleeing the area in fear of their lives, forced to abandon their homes and livestock. In the meantime, I congratulate the brave Afar people and their special forces […] Jeff Pearce July 28, 2021 A trusted source in Tigray reports that TPLF officers are pushing hard to find more child soldiers. With 35 woredas (districts) in Tigray, they’re expected to recruit from 5,000 to 10,000 youths and children. But Tigrayan mothers in some zones have begun to oppose the forced recruitment, and the officers are unable to fill the numbers they’re required to deliver. According to the source, at best, the officers have been able to get 1,000 or 2,000 from different woredas, and between 3,000 and 5,000 from others. Some of the forced recruits are children “collected from the streets.” This picture […] A Four Step Proposal for a Peaceful Resolution of the Conflict Between the Ethiopian Government and the Tigray Regional GovernmentYonas Biru, PhD July 28, 2021 On November 21, 2020, I proposed a way for a peaceful resolution. The article that appeared in the Ethiopian Reporter, stressed three points: “TPLF must honor the constitutional order and give the people of Ethiopia a chance to determine under what constitutional order they want to be governed.” “The Ethiopian government must agree to stop the war, suspend its drive to replace the government in Tigray, provided TPLF agrees to reinstate the legitimate former representatives. Finally, the Ethiopian government must drop its demand for the surrender of TPLF leaders.” “Any negotiation on the future […]
