ICJ Arrest Abey Ahmed!
On this
commentary- I will raise two issues. Abey and the so called “የኢትዮጵያ አሜሪካውያን የዜጎች ምክር ቤት “Ethiopian
American Civic Council” headed by the name Amsalu Tsegaye shown his picture below
pose with Berhanu Negga as a member of the E-Zema group (hard core supporter of
Abey Ahmed).
I ask
Ethiopian educated sectors and lawyers who differ from Abey’s “cadre group” to
write a petition to the International Court of Justice to file a charge against
“Abey Ahmed” who is the founder of the notorious INSA (Ethiopian security and
spy net work Agency) currently the nation’s Prime Minister for intentionally
and knowingly let to happen the deportation of millions and tones of mass
murder incidents carried by members of his criminal party and by some of his
government agencies and other armed groups against vulnerable citizens.
It is
clearly obvious that our country is set on a trajectory of self-cannibalism. No
wonder why Jawar Mohammed told the media that Ethiopia is ruled by two
governments “by Qero government and by Abey Ahmed government”. No wonder Jawar
and the OLF guns boasted of how easy it is to "create insecurity anywhere
in Ethiopia!" No wonder too why, from the get go of the aggression and the
internal unrest against our country, Abey Ahmed insisted on meeting all terror
groups and secessionists (all Ethiopians-supposedly) face to face? Well, they
met face to face and one-to-one and insecure our country has become. And at the
heart of it, all is this no longer "suspect" but convicted (in the
court of the Ethiopian public opinion) criminal, Abey Ahmed!
Until one
year ago, our country was a nation of terror. And after continuous mass
demonstrations all over our country against the terrorist TPLF (EPRDF), came
the earth quake; Abey Ahmed and Lema Megerssa (both member of the terror group
“OPDO” set their foot into the ‘Menlik Palace’ via an orchestrated ‘smart’ coup
d’état against their comrades in terror. And ever since Abey Ahmed came to be
the leader of the new terror group (EPRDF), our country has not seen a day of
peace! This connive leader, in the absentness of law and order proven incapable
of governing our country! Insecurity reigns everywhere in our country!
At this
very junction, our country is a nation without the rule of law. Abey Ahmed
(OPD-Oromo Democratic Party) and his puppet Amhara Democratic Party (ADP) have
trampled Human Rights laws openly without fear for future prosecution. Citizens
of Addis lead by journalist Eskender Negga (Bale Adera ‘a civic group’) voiced
for their rights have been harassed, threaten, beaten and arrested. Well known
public figures are being gunned down or said made committed suicide without the
public knowing the details. Massive deportation, mass murder, Churches burned,
banks and homes vandalized, recently again aggressive mass arrest conducted all
over the country, academicians and "Human Rights", advocates and
reporters are being thrown into prisons, and now angry people are going after
the highest officials of the land
"You
cannot scare a man about to die," says the good old Existentialist view.
Our people have reached a point where they no longer see hope for their country
and for their lives. How could they? The dignity of mothers and elders, the
flag of the land, and sovereignty of the land is being trashed daily. A
rubberstamp Parliament is agreeing to every whim of Abey Ahmed. Corrupt heads
of our religious institutions are prostituting the return of Shaibia (they even
wave the Shabia flag) and surprisingly, cursed and satanic criminal politicians
are crowned inside our churches. And our country's national interests are being
auction to foreign bidders!
That is not all. Abey Cadres (many of the
educated sectors, artists and some journalists) have, just as is the case with
their "Palace Group" masters, lost their mind. In an incredible turn
of events, these pathetic “cadres” have abandoned the core values of the
Ethiopiawinet and opted for the royal family of the Abey-Lema duet working very
hard to consolidate the Oromo rule! And no wonder the gun has begun to go off
at high places, and our people no longer afraid to die! (when anarchy rules the
country, results like what occurred in Bahir Dar).
We cannot
and must not allow cannibalism to devour us all. We must foil the threat from
within and set our country on a path to the rule of law, peace and prosperity.
And there is only one way to bring about that needed change to our country and
guarantee our nation's sovereignty. We must alert our people, we must demand to
bring those who put our country in the trajectory of the current quagmire to
justice for the last 28 years lead by Meles and now by Abey Ahmed.
The criminals are obvious; “Abey” and his
"Group" and those who are collaborators are the cause of the havoc.
In this light, we ask the Ethiopian Defense Forces (if it is really “Ethiopian
Defense Force/ EDF/ as its mouth says so), to open up its eyes and heed the
people's call. They must arrest Abey and company and place them at the mercy of
neutral courts!
At the end
of my note-
The
Ethiopian Diaspora need to keep an eye of the so called “የኢትዮጵያ አሜሪካውያን የዜጎች ምክር ቤት
“Ethiopian American Civic Council” who is vowing to deport Ethiopians to their
country who foams hate speeches from America to Ethiopia. As good as it sounds,
the question we ask is; ‘how independent is this organization’? We all know
that the organization’s spokes person by the name Amsalu Tsegaye and his
organization (Ethiopian American Civic Council) endorses Abey Ahmed and is a
hard core supporter of the apartheid Abey and Berhanu Negga of E-Zema. Knowing
this scenario, how effective and neutral this organization and its lawyers headed
by this individual remain to be seen.
Such move
is not new to the Diaspora politics. The tactic is to silence oppositions. and was
practiced in many countries, even including during the era of Apartheid South
Africa and recently in our time during TPLF rule. So, the intention is worth nothing, but to try to silence the opposing comp by releasing fear into
their psych. The said Ethiopian Lawyers (exclude the American paid lobbyists
who might rehired and get paid by these groups to make them connect with
Congress on their behalf) who surprisingly woke up from their sleep after 28
years of nap who chose to be silent when the mass deportation and Amhara onslaught going openly, knowing TPLF/OLF/OPDO… criminals were freely touring and living in the US and
all over the world freely is of course surprising. Abey is lucky and happy that he
got volunteer puppets all over who can go extra mile to intimidate the opposition
while they intentionally sleeping 28 years without saying an iota of sentence
about hate speech before during TPLF rule.
But,
regardless the intention of this guy and his followers what they are trying to
accomplish- what we know so far in America, hate speech is what Justice Samuel
Alito wrote:
“ Speech that demeans on the basis of race,
ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is
hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we
protect the freedom to express "the thought that we hate". United
States v. Schwimmer, 279 U. S. 644, 655 (1929) (Holmes, J., dissenting).[11]
Surely,
many of us have doubts that those individuals who become hard core supporters
of Abey Ahmed and Berhanu Negga as you saw this man on the above photo (Amsalu
Tsegaye in the middle of the crowd wearing Berhanu Negga’s E-Zema’s T-Shirt will
serve the purpose without targeting/harassing/ those who opposed Abey and
Berhanu Negga. It is really a shame to again see this time that political group
members are now using community organizations to advance political interest to harass
who opposed Abey and Berhanu Negga. Stay Tune for upcoming detail on this be
posted in Amharic for Amharic readers.
Thanks. Getachew Reda (Editor Ethio Semay)
