The Ethiopian government is trying to turn away attention from unrecoverable damage it sustained in the past seven month Oromo protests. The protest uncovered the true dictatorial nature of this regime to the world.
Millions of investors across the globe were invited by the regime to rush for land occupation for almost free. But, now that rush is drying up, since the regime’s hidden agenda has been uncovered. The investors have started rethinking about the investment opportunities through land grabbing. Some of the investors are pulling out, because they cannot stand the violence with local farmers whose land had been taken away through Government policy and made them homeless or beggars.
After long time digging in, the regime has come up now with a ‘good’ idea. That is to go to war with Eritrea. This will legitimize the regime to terrorize the people against the regime’s land grabbing policy, specially the Oromo people and make the situation far more worse. This war is not against Eritrea, it is planned to crush the Oromo aspirations and its people. It is planned to execute harsh human rights violation that never seen in that country. The war is nothing to do with Eritrea. It is only for legitimacy to adopt the policy of “with us or with them”.
The reckless opportunistic adventure of this regime indicates the beginning of the end of it. It is losing manpower every where. It is trying to hide its loss of internationally verified dead bodies Ethiopian soldiers in Somalia. In Somalia, Oromia, Ogaden, etc., the regime is hardly recruiting militias. The regime’s economic, including donors attraction, machinery is also sharply declining. The military is losing purpose of killing innocent people for the benefit of few. Thus this war will end up in total catastrophe for the regime.
Some western media echo the regime’s propaganda as it is. The regime is disparately seeking this kind of attention. Bloomberg reports as follows:
Ethiopian, Eritrean Troops Clash on Border, Horn Affairs Says
(Bloomberg) — Ethiopian and Eritrean troops clashed at several border locations on Sunday, local website Horn Affairs said, citing sources it didn’t identify. Ethiopia’s government said it had no reports of incidents.
Fighting involving heavy artillery began around 5 a.m. and continued until at least early afternoon, the Addis Ababa-based website said.
The incident could be an effort by the Eritrean government to distract attention from a June 8 United Nations report that said its leaders committed crimes against humanity, Getachew Reda, Ethiopia’s communications minister, said by phone from Frankfurt.
Eritrea’s Information Minister Yemane Gebremeskel didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment made on Twitter Inc.
Eritrea, a former province of its neighbor, fought a two-year war with Ethiopia that formally ended in 2000, although its government has maintained war-time controls such as requiring national service and suspended enactment of a constitution.
