Ethiopia’s prime minister characterized the people of Tigray as weeds”, “cancer” and

“disease” that should be wiped out. This characterization, though not the first of its

kind, prompted genocidal actions over the people of Tigray throughout the country.

Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed admitted that he triggered the first bullet that caused the

war on Tigray. https://twitter.com/NigstiA/status/1333689219592712192?s=20

Abiy Ahmed claimed that he has made massive preparations for his war on Tigray.

Contradicting his prior allegation that claimed the war was broke out because of an

attack on ENDF’s Northern Command, the PM admitted that he launched the offense

after he has set all necessary preparations on place. He has also admitted that the

military buildup, constituting sophisticated arsenals and unmanned drones (UAVs)

were kept secret from the sight of his proponents so to belie that the capabilities of the

Ethiopian Defense Forces was weak. The bottom line is the Ethiopian-Eritrean and

Emirati war on Tigray was executed following the assurance of meticulously

coordinated plan put in place since Abiy Ahmed’s appointment as the Prime Minister

of Ethiopia.

In this letter, the Ethiopian Prime Minister labels all descending sources of

information that expose his cover ups to the multifarious war crimes he committed in

Tigray. Criticizing the growing calls for accountability, he says that the “allegations

of war crimes reported in Tigray are fake news.” Thus, he asks to disregard all stories

reporting the existence of war crimes in Tigray. Trivializing the lives of those innocent

victims, who are experiencing the daily horrors of massacre, famine, displacement,

gang rape, abduction, and execution, he says telling these stories is not good for

Ethiopia. Furthermore, the letter indicates that everyone has to recognize that

Ethiopia is bigger than the lives of few million people and even bigger than the people

of Tigray. He concludes by asking to focus on other issues and leave these stories to

lie behind.

rule will be imposed upon you and all infrastructures will be destroyed.”(emphasis

on the sentiment of Abiy’s "speech")

States, Fitsum Arega joins Bronwyn Bruton, the payed fixer of the Eritrean regime and

African representative of the Atlantic council (an organization with business dealings

in Eritrea) downplaying the option to resolve the war on Tigray through discussions.

Despite Fitsum’s claim of an attack on the military base of the ENDF Northern

command, evidences suggest that there were prior military showdowns leading to the

alleged takeover of the Northern Command. In a Televised address, the Ethiopian

Prime Minister has openly admitted that he dispatched a special commando to

Mekelle “escorting 1.3 billion Birr of the newly issued Currency.” This incident which

was followed by an attempt to arrest key political leaders of the Tigriyan

administration sparked the war.

Ethiopian Human Rights commission seeks explanation on Tigrayan ethnic profiling

at Bolle International Airport: Translation of a news report provided as follows:

Ethiopian Human Rights Commission Seeks Clarification on New

Regulations Requiring Passengers to Show Additional ID by airport Security

Controls at Bolle International Airport:

By Tesfalem Weldeyes [Translation of the Amharic report]

The Ethiopian human rights commission seeks information on the new

regulation and security screening procedures applied at Bolle

Page 7 of 10

International airport requiring passengers to provide additional

documentation before boarding their flights. The commission reiterated its

concern that the new regulation which requires passengers to provide

Kebelle ID alongside other official travel documents makes people

susceptible for ethnic profiling and discriminations.

The government affiliated human rights organization disclosed its

concerns on 11/11/2020, in letter sent to the Ethiopian civil aviation

authorities and the Bolle Airport Security Bureau. The letter was signed by

Chief commissionaire Dr. Daniel Bekelle with Cc to Ethiopian attorney

General Office, the Ministry of Transportation and the Addis Ababa city

administration, Ethiopian insider confirmed.

In the two pages long letter, the commission indicated that domestic and

international passengers reported to the commission highlighting that the

aviation authority has been enacting a mandatory Kebelle ID screening in

addition to other official travel documents. The commission further

disclosed that the new regulation can raise two major human rights’

violation concerns. The first concern is that the new regulation has the

potential to restrict peoples fundamental right for freedom of movement.

Acknowledging that passports are adequate to be considered a full-

fledged identification documents, requirements for additional travel

documentation raises another question of relevance.

Reiterating that Addis Ababa city has suspended ID issuing services at this

time, the commission highlighted this problem will generate an

unintended consequence of rights violation.

The second major point indicated in the commission’s letter underlines

that some ID cards issued by various Kebelles either contain recognizable

ethnic markers or are detectable using digital methods. In consideration of

the current grim condition in the country, we have noticed that the new

regulation can lead into massive ethnic profiling, the commission

underlined.

The commission has also asked the Ethiopian civil Aviation to investigate

possible anomalies of the magnitude stated above and take a corrective

measure immediately. The commission added, in order to help the

commission, undertake a thorough assessment of possible human rights

violation, the Aviation authorities requested for an explanation from

concerned authorities.

Page 8 of 10

The Director General of the Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority, Coloniel

Wosenyeleh Hunegnaw confirmed receipt of the letter but indicated that

the regulation is not in the bounds of his office’s mandate. He has also

added that his office will send a reply tomorrow. He said: we do not

inspect Identification documents. Our duty has no relation with the tasks

indicated in the letter. Our mission is solely about transport control. We

monitor standard safety and nothing more than that. Monitoring transport

safety has nothing to do with ID verification, according to Ethiopian

insider. Even a passport has an international standard and it is the duty of

the immigration authorities to determine everything related with passport

issues. In lieu of this, the director indicated, the letter should have been

forwarded elsewhere. https://ethiopiainsider.com/2020/2231/
