(The Habesha) – The statements issued by Abi Ahmed, which suggest a desire to eliminate Tigray and Amara in a manner akin to the situation in Gaza, reflect a troubling perspective. It is crucial to understand that influential figures may engage in tactics that seek to suppress dissenting voices while cloaking their intentions in seemingly compelling rhetoric.
Abi Ahmed declared, “If Tigray, Eritrea, and Fano unite, I will destroy Tigray and Amara just as one would in Gaza,” highlighting his authoritarian stance.
Abiy Ahmed should not be regarded as a devout Pentecostal believer; instead, he embodies a ruthless individual who exhibits a significant disregard for human life. His past is marked by documented instances of violence, and he has issued direct orders aimed at the destruction of the Amhara and Tigray communities, as well as the Eritrean populations, promising to eliminate them in a manner similar to his treatment of the Tigrayans.
Abiy’s administration has prioritized the consolidation of power over the genuine promotion of unity and the resolution of entrenched ethnic conflicts in Ethiopia. His tenure has been characterized by considerable political turmoil, with rising violence and disputes across various regions, particularly involving the Oromo and Amhara ethnic groups. Despite his initial commitments to national unity and reconciliation upon assuming office in 2018, many believe that ethnic divisions have intensified during his leadership.
Abiy’s administration has prioritized the consolidation of his power over fostering genuine unity or effectively tackling the deep-seated ethnic tensions in Ethiopia. His tenure has been characterized by significant political turmoil, with increasing violence and conflicts erupting across various regions, particularly between the Oromo and Amhara groups. Despite his initial pledges of national unity and reconciliation upon assuming office in 2018, there is a widespread perception that ethnic divisions have intensified during his leadership.
Abiy Ahmed received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2019 for his efforts to end the protracted conflict with Eritrea. However, he is now preparing for military actions against Eritrea, as well as the Tigray and Amhara regions, suggesting a troubling intent to eliminate these groups. This significant change in his strategy raises serious concerns regarding his commitment to peace and stability in the region.
Ethiopia has been recognized for its rapid economic developmentin the past. However, this growth has not been shared fairly among the populace, with many reports highlighting severe economic challenges faced by citizens. While Abiy touts an 8% growth rate and claims food self-sufficiency, humanitarian organizations indicate that approximately 8 million people are in need of assistance, suggesting that his economic policies may have negatively impacted a large segment of the population.
Abiy Ahmed is overlooking human rights violations that have emerged during his time in office, particularly amid the conflicts in Tigray and Amhara. Although he initially pledged to implement significant political reforms and improve civil liberties, many experts contend that these promises have not been realized. His governance has been characterized as increasingly authoritarian, raising alarming concerns about the protection of human rights and the general well-being of the Ethiopian populace.
Abi Ahmed’s declaration reflects the heightened tensions in the region and his increasingly authoritarian approach to governance. By threatening destruction in response to potential unity among Tigray, Eritrea, and Fano, he signals a willingness to escalate conflict rather than pursue dialogue. This rhetoric can exacerbate divisions and lead to further violence, as it echoes the tragic patterns seen in other conflict zones. It raises serious concerns about the implications for peace and stability in Ethiopia and the surrounding areas.

Listen up y’all! Extra! Extra! Read all about it!!!
I just returned from Al-Qahirah after meeting with Al-Rees el-Sisi. Our meeting took 2 weeks and the main topic on our agenda was the country we both hate with passion: Ethiopia and the GERD dam it is building on the property of Egypt. We looked through a report prepared by the world famous Egyptian geologists. Their study had focused on the ground where those niggers(abids) from Ethiopia have been building the largest dam in Africa. The experts from Egypt have discovered that the dam is built on location surrounded by very active fault line. An earthquake stringer that 7.0 on the Richter scale is over due and can strike at anytime now. If that happens, the dam will unleash the more than 90 trillion cubic of water it is now holding in the reservoir behind the dam. That lightening fast and more than 35ft wall of flood will kill more than 35 millions Sudanese and 45 million Egyptians. It will also stop the White Nile in its tracks and that back up will flood half of South Sudan million more than 15 million people there. More than 5 million Ugandans will lose their lives due to flooding from backup of the White Nile. So my dear brother el-Sisi and I come up with a plan that will grab away the entire area where the dam is located and transfer it to a management experts team entirely manned by Egyptians. I will be leading the raid force created by el-Sisi and I just for this purpose. So if you don’t hear from me during the coming one week, that is because I am busy kicking some ass of the Tutsi Jula’s and the Filipino Abiy’s army. Also, el-Sisi and I agreed not to share our plan with Brother Isaias because he has always been suspicious of Egypt’s motives, Right after I liberated the GERD dam area, I will then liberate Ogaden and hand it over to Af-Mishaar and Sheikh Mohamud. See how el-Sisi and I make it too easy? Am I genius or what?!
Fanos claim one victory after another almost daily in and lately even outside Amhara region and that has been going on for almost 3 years. On the other hand the government has been declaring victory over Fano fighters for years and telling everyone that Fano would be wiped out before the end of every year since 2022. So, who would you believe? If I was a referee in this ‘boxing’ bout, I would stop the fight after Fano is knocked down 3 times and I could have stopped the fight after the government forces knocked down 3 times and after the tenth count! Ten count and you’re out!!!
But there is one reality I, very sadly, believe. The youth in that country is being used as cannon fodder by bigots, connivers and despots in their demonic scheme what ever it may. I can hear their mothers wailing and that leaves my heart aching. I can see their fathers seething with anger noting their sons are being rushed into awaiting inferno for much ado about nothing and I share their raging anger. But what can they do? But what peace mongers like me can do about it when bigots, connivers and despots are having their heydays? All I can do is fall down on my high mileage knees and pray for divine intervention. The youth, the future of that country, is being slaughtered on daily basis. Woe, woe, woe!!!
Did Abiy say “If Tigray, Eritrea, and Fano unite, I will destroy Tigray and Amara just as one would in Gaza?” You may have to tell the reader when and in what context Abiy said that. He must have said it in Amharic (as the quote you provided is in English). Please try hard to be honest. Thanks.
