ABBAY TSEHAYE: 21st CENTURY NAZI TPLF’S CHIEF OF GENOCIDE AND A DIABOLIC MAN

Bulbulaa Tufaa | February 26, 2015

Finfinnee Master Plan is in reality designed to mass exterminate Oromo farmers and partition Oromia Region into two segments.

In the first half of the 20^th century on the continent of Europe, Fascism in Italy and Nazism (national Sozialismus) in Germany had erupted and claimed to lead socialist governments. The leaders of Nazism and Fascism pretended to dictate themselves to their peoples’ national interest, national cause, national wellbeing, national purpose and all in all to   their peoples national goal.

In the first half of the 21^st century, Ethiopian Nazi-Fascism under the leadership of TPLF-Tigray of Ethiopia emerged and gripped on power, by overthrowing the “Itiyophiya tikidem” regime of Col. Mengistu Hailemariam, The Nazi TPLF leadership, which is now and then, supported by the USA and UK, in particular, pledged to establish a democratic government whereby those ethnically so diverse peoples in the Empire would be governed on the basis of federal arrangement. Accordingly, sham regional governments were established following the communist era of the Soviet style. Based on the Soviet model, a Tigre man is routinely posted in every regional office and controls the activities of regions and local administrations. Without the final approval of the assigned Tigre man, the surrogate OPDO officials cannot issue even a single letter of their own independent mind nor can they take their independent decision to be implemented.

On the other face, Fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany had attempted to draw the whole population of their respective nations, using socialism as a cheating mechanism. TPLF-Tigray of Ethiopia has also deceived the peoples in the Empire by taking and preaching two important words from government’s theory of principle: democracy and federalism. Even Habasha’s traditional politico-military advisers and economic supporters of the West, notably UK and USA, did not get the initial promise of TPLF in the fields of the Empire except in ammunition depot.

The establishment of democratically organized governance on the graveyard of the fled away ‘tikidem’ regime of Colonel Mengistu Hailemariam has been nullified and voided. Notwithstanding, the USA and UK in particular, continue to support Nazi TPLF-Tigray regime of Ethiopia to protect their substantive politico-military interest.  The regime in Addis Ababa, being commander in-Chief of “anti-terrorism” in  the Horn of Africa and a “peace keeping” force on the continent, has been zealously serving to implement USA and its satellites’ “Favourable New  World  Order” strategy  in the Red Sea region.

Nazi TPLF’s Abrogation of   Its Constitution

On a piece of paper, Nazi-TPLF regime pledged to respect any decision made by regional states pertaining to their internal affair and local administration.  This has been beautifully adorned by the constitution it threw to the people. In article 39 of its constitution, for example, TPLF has clearly stated how each regional state has full right to secession and be able to form an independent country of its own. Opposite to this,  however,  TPLF-Tigreanism of Ethiopia, both in essence and in action, is  proved  to be  a political system of  Fascism  and Nazism  where  the rule of law  becomes  the only  rule  of terror, the  elimination and suppression of democratically organised groups, where outstanding leaders are either brutally suppressed,  incarcerated, exiled or killed.

Just like Fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany had done, Nazi TPLF- Tigray leadership of Ethiopia marshals the total resources of the country behind its Nazi-fascist government. It controls every resources of the Empire from the centre to the periphery and channels everything to the development of its homeland, ‘Independent Tigray’.  Thus, by Conclusion, Nazi-Fascism is proved to be the only system of government TPLF-Tigray of Ethiopia has to solely rely on. Otherwise, its existence in Finfinnee will be severely jeopardised and may go beyond Finfinnee to cripple the survival right of ‘Independent Tigray’.

Nazi knows No Concession or Compromise

The question of compromise or concession on common goal for common advantage is totally out of Habasha’s traditional political culture. Their authoritarian political culture is grounded on the deadly principle of no concession and no compromise. They hold annihilation and elimination as the only viable way of life. For Fascism and Nazism, too, the feasible form of international organisation or national association is neither by compromise nor by concession but only by victory, annihilation and elimination.

Nazi’s Racial Theory and Practice

Nazi’s racial theory and its parallel supporting theory was Aryan-Germanism.  By the same token, TPLF Tigray’s racial theory and its practical implementation are Tigreanism, at supra-ideological level and Ethiopianism at advantage level.

Hitler’s theory of Lebensraum which denotes the creation of enough space for the growing German population constitutes one of the kernel parts of    his   “national Sozialismus”, a propaganda tool he effectively used to rally people behind him. The question of Lebensraum was repeatedly hammered on as a necessity to be conquered and achieved.

How the Nazi intended to achieve Lebensraum out of Germany’s Territory?

The ideology of Aryan-Germanism, as a rational superior ideology was adopted and attempted to be implemented. Using this erroneous ideology, Hitler had murdered and butchered those peoples he considered were culture destroyers and inferiors.

TPLF Nazi leaders’ creation of Lebensraum for the destitute population of the district of Tigray and the provision of lebensmittel (food) has been imposed on the people as a national ideology to be followed. Soon after TPLF, assisted by Shabiya EPLF, came to substitute the century old Amhara Neftegna rule, it put all resources of the Empire under its control. Thereafter, TPLF leaders declared in Amharic: Tigray kengidih temellisa attirabim, meaning, Tigray will not die of hunger anymore.

To keep Tigray away from lack of physiological and mental nourishment, the ideology of “Greater Tigray” for the endogamous band of Tigray folks has been Nazified. Thenceforth, the ideology of Greater Tigreanism has inhumanly embarked on slaughtering those peoples it considers are ‘garbage’. The creation of enough Lebensraum (space) and the provision of surplus Lebensmittel(food) has become TPLF’s fundamental struggle.  Hence, the Addis Ababa Master Plan must be blended to the maxim of   the Lebensraum, which is diabolic in nature. It is fascistically architected to resettle closed and endogamous folks around Finfinnee so as to bring into existence providence and permanent luxury for them.

Abbay Tsehaye’s Nazi–fascistic Tones

Abbay Tsehaye, The Goebbles  of  Nazi-TPLF regime  of Ethiopia in the 21^st century

Who is Abbay Tsehaye? He was formerly a minister of federal affairs and now one of the top advisers of Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn. He was also head of the Addis Ababa Master plan designers when Kuma Dammaqsa was the mayor of the city.

Kuma Dammaksa (OPDO), Nazi TPLF’s right hand and Abbya Tsehaye’s senior office boy in the municipality of Addis Ababa at the time of  designing the Addis Ababa Master Plan. The photo show here when he was making speech on the funeral of his master, Mele Zenawi.

In his recent speech, Abbay Tsehaye, on a meeting he has summoned together in Hawasa city, has delivered a diabolic propaganda speech against Oromo people. He appealed to his likes to rally behind him in accomplishing the genocidal war his fascist government has declared on the Oromos. He strongly underlined to crash those Oromos who may intend to resist the implementation of “ Integrated Master Plan”.

In his speech, Abbay Tsehaye unambiguously exposed how his government is a Nazi-fascist regime; how he himself is Ethiopia’s diabolic chief of genocide. He directly says in Amharic, “If they do not accept and implement the Master Plan, “likki innasgebbachewallen,—yistegebberal….”, meaning, we will punish them, finish them off. The Master Plan shall be uncompromisingly implemented “(OMN Nerws; Febuary 14, 2015)

Conclusion

 “Tigren [Habasha] attimenu bimil bigezziti, Kiristinna anstew Kubeen geddeluti” (Kibroom Aseffa Molla. In: YeRaya Hizb Bahil inna Tarik. Tikimt 2005, p.103)

“Never trust Tigre men/women even if they swear or excommunicate themselves. That, they killed Kubee [One of the Raya Oromo community leaders during King Yonnes VI of Tigray] after  converting him to Christianity.”  (Translation: Mein).

From the very beginning, Habasha’s (Amhara-Tigray) common national interest has been the seeking of the total demise of the Oromo people. It has, without interruption, been practised by successive Habasha Kings like Tewodros, Yohanes IV, Minilik II, HailesellaseI, Col. Mengistu Hailemariam and now by the TPLF led Abbay Tsehaye’s Nazi regime.

With no hesitation or remorse, Habasha scholars and Debteras have also been writing in their book of history, calling the Oromo, “Gallas”, as the bloodiest enemy of their Habasha people, Amhara-Tigray (See Aleqa Kidanewold Kifle: 1948 E.C).

By keeping on hating and detesting the Oromos, Habasha elites and their clergymen are the major causes for the erosion of peace and stability in the region. That is why, in the history of Habasha–Oromo relationship, a common interest, good neighbourliness or common worldview has not been able to be consummated. Past centuries blind hatred is re-testified in this first half of the 21^st century by Abbay Tsehaye, TPLF-Tiray’s Nazi chief of genocide. Therefore, the question is, can cosmetic changes be a panacea to heal the heavily inflicted wounds of the Oromo nation?

Calling for the resignation of chief of the genocide, the making of Afaan Oromoo an auxiliary federal language, the begging for the establishment of “Oromo cultural Centre” in ADDIS ABABA, shouting for free and fair election being under the gunpoint of the Nazi control, is dead rhetoric. They do not help either in liberating the Oromo from the Nazi regime or in empowering them to govern their own internal affairs, leave alone to run the affairs of the Empire. Dwelling on these issues as a national panacea is no more workable. It has officially been buried down by the recent speech and action of the regime’s diabolic chief of propaganda, Abbay Tsehaye.

Then, what should Oromos do as a last resort in order to get-healed the endangered survival right on their ancestral homeland? Should they, from every walk of life, prepare themselves for the worst scenario marching against them?

In our life time, we have seen the exhaustion of all venues of peaceful struggle, peaceful dialogue, and peaceful co-existence with Habshas in the Ethiopian Empire but with no avail at all.  For the Oromos, the choice is only one and one. It cannot be two or more. That is, to get back their God-given natural right and the invaded ancestral homeland by paying common-sacrifice for the common cause.

The Oromo youths, the Qeerroo, are paying valorous price right now. They are directly facing Abbay Tsehaye’s Nazi bullets. Hence, Qeerroos’ just struggle should be genuinely endorsed and supported. They are marching to the bright future road for the total liberation of Oromia from the collective rule of Habasha Nazism.

May our Almighty Waaqa help them prevail over the diabolic tones of Abbay Tsehaye, whose speech and action represent the Nazi system of the Empire!

A Constitution for a Multinational Democratic State-Nation: The Case of Ethiopi

National Endowment for Democracy, Washington, DC | February 25, 2015

Ever since the formation of the modern state of Ethiopia, the country’s diversity, represented by its roughly eighty ethnic groups, has defied common formulas for unity and democratic development. Regimes have come and gone, but the central question—whether to forge a nation-state, a multinational federation, or something else—has dominated Ethiopia’s political agenda for decades. Looking ahead to the upcoming 2015 elections and the country’s longer-term stability and development, Dr. Negaso Solan will focus on the need for a constitution that mirrors Ethiopia’s ethnic diversity and that lends itself to developing a truly democratic multinational state. As former president of Ethiopia, he will reflect on his experiences drafting the country’s 1995 constitution and offer recommendations for public confidence-building around future amendments. His presentation will be followed by comments from Dr. John Harbeson

Ethiopia: TPLF’s Leaders Arrogance and Contempt: Inviting Further Bloodshed and Loss of Lives

HRLHA Statement

February 23, 2015

Since the downfall of the military government of Ethiopia in 1991, the political and socioeconomic lives of the country have totally been controlled by the Tigray People’s Liberation Front/TPLF leaders and business institutions. As soon as the TPLF controlled Addis Ababa, the capital city, in 1991, the first step it took was to create People’s Democratic Organizations (PDOs) in the name of different nations and nationalities   in the country.   With the help of these PDOs, the TPLF managed to control the whole country in a short period of time from corner to corner. The next step that the TPLF took was to weaken and/or eliminate all independent opposition political organizations existing in the country, including those with whom it formed the Ethiopian Transitional Government in 1991. Just to pretend that it was democratizing the country, the TPLF signed seven international human rights documents from 1991 to 2014. These include the “Convention against Torture and Other Cruel Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment”. Despite this, it is known that the TPLF has tortured many of its own citizens ever since it assumed power, and has continued to the present day.

The TPLF Government adopted a new constitution in 1995; and, based on this constitution, formed new federal states. The new Ethiopian constitution is full of spurious democratic sentiments and human rights terms meant to inspire the people of Ethiopia and the world community. The TPLF’s pretentious promise to march towards democracy enabled it to receive praise from people inside and outside including donor countries and organizations. The TPLF government managed somehow to maintain a façade of credibility with western governments including those of the USA and the UK. In reality, the TPLF security forces were engaged in intensive killings, abductions, disappearances of a large number of Oromo, Ogaden, Sidama peoples; and others whom the TPLF suspected of being members, supporters or sympathizers of the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), Ogadenian National Libration Front (ONLF), and Sidama Peoples Libiration Front (SPLF). The TPLF high officials to ordinary level cadres in the various regional states engaged in enriching themselves and their family members by looting and embezzling public wealth and properties, raping young women in the occupied areas of the nations and nationalities in Ethiopia, and committing many other forms of corruptions.

After securing enough wealth for themselves, the TPLF government officials, cadres and members declared, in 2004, an investment policy that resulted in the eviction of indigenous peoples from their lands and all types of livelihoods. Since 2006, thousands of Oromo, Gambela, and Benshangul nationals and others have been forcefully evicted from their lands without consultation or compensation. Those who attempted to oppose or resist were murdered and/or jailed by the TPLF[1]. The TPLF government then cheaply leased their lands, for terms as long as 50 years, to international investors and wealthy Middle East and Asian countries including Saudi Arabia[2] .  The TPLF government has done all this against its own constitution, particularly article 40 (3)[3] , which states that “ The right to ownership of rural and urban land, as well as of all natural resources, is exclusively vested in the State and in the peoples of Ethiopia. Land is a common property of the Nations, Nationalities and Peoples of Ethiopia and shall not be subject to sale or to other means of exchange”.  These acts were also against the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 17 (1 &2)[4] , which says, “1. Everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others. 2. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property”

In order to facilitate further corruption and embezzlement, the money paid for the leases as long as 50 years were received in cash. For example, the Indian agro investor Karaturi explained to a Guardian Magazine reporter that the TPLF government officials asked him to pay in cash in order to get the land, which he called “green gold”[5]. These gross human rights violations by the TPLF leaders against the Oromos, Gambelas, and Benshanguls have been condemned by many civic organizations, including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Human Rights League of the Horn of Africa, Oakland Institute and others.

The giving away of Oromo land in the name of investment also includes Addis Ababa, the capital city situated at the center of Oromia Regional State. 30,000 Oromos were evicted by the TPLF/EPRDF Government from their lands and livelihoods in the areas around the Capital City and suburbs, and their lands were given to the TPLF officials, members and loyal cadres over the past 24 years. In order to grab more lands around Addis Abba, the TPLF government prepared a plan called “the Addis Ababa Integrated Master Plan”, a plan that aimed at annexing about 36 towns and surrounding villages into Addis Ababa was first challenged by the Oromo People’s Democracy Organization/OPDO in March 2014. The challenge was first supported by Oromo students in different universities, colleges and high schools in Oromia, and then spread to Oromo farmers, Oromo intellectuals in all corners of Oromia Regional State and to Oromo nationals living in different parts of the world. The Oromo nationals staged peaceful protests all over Oromia Regional State. In connection with this Addis Ababa integrated master plan, which had the risk of evicting more than two million farmers from around the capital city, about seventy Oromo students from among the peaceful protestors were brutalized by the special TPLF Agiazi snipers and more than five thousand Oromos from all walks of life were taken to prisons in different parts of Oromia Regional State. The inhuman military actions and crackdowns by the TPLF government against peaceful protestors were condemned by different international media such as the BBC[6], human rights organizations such as Amnesty International and the HRLHA[7]. The government admitted that it killed nine of them[8].  The unrest that started in central Oromia suddenly escalated to such a high level that the TPLF leaders suspended the expansion plan for a while. However, recently, without the slightest regret and sense of remorse over the massacres committed against peaceful protestors of Oromo Nationals by his government in May and April 2014, the TPLF’s co-founder, top official and the current Prime Minister, Hailemariam Dessalegn’s  special advisor, Mr. Abay Tsehaye, vowed in public that anyone who attempts to oppose the implementation of the so-called Addis Ababa Master Plan would be dealt with harshly. In his speech he confirmed that the TPLF government is determined to continue with the master plan, no matter what happened in the past or what may come in the future.   In a manner that Abay Tsehaye was reiterating that the annexations of towns and cities in central Oromia into the capital Addis Ababa will go ahead as planned regardless of the absence of consultations and consent of the local people and/or the officials of the targeted towns and cities. Besides displaying his extreme arrogance and contempt for the Oromo Nation, Mr. Abay Tsehaye’s speech was in direct breach of constitutional provisions of both federal and regional states.

The Human Rights League of the Horn of Africa (HRLHA) would like to express its deep concern that this TPLFs leader’s speech not only encourages violence against the country’s own citizens, but also invites further bloodshed and loss of lives; it leaves no room at all for dialogue, consultation and consent – norms which are at the core of a genuine democracy. This is still happening despite the killing of more than seventy Oromo youth and the arrest and incarceration of thousands of others as a result of violent and deadly responses by armed forces of the TPLF and the government to peaceful demonstrators in May and April, 2014.

Conclusion: The HRLHA believes that the gross human rights violations committed by the TPLF government in the past 24 years against Oromo, Ogaden, Gambela, Sidama and others were pre-planned and intentional all the times that they have happened. The TPLF killed, tortured, and kidnapped and disappeared thousands of Oromo nationals, Ogaden and other nationals simply because of their resources and ethnic backgrounds. The recent research conducted by Amnesty International under the title “Because I am Oromo”: SWEEPING REPRESSION IN THE OROMIA REGION OF ETHIOPIA’ [9] confirms that peoples in Ethiopia who belong to other ethnic groups have been the victims of the TPLF.  The TPLF inhuman actions against the citizens are clearly a genocide, a crime against humanity[10] and an ethnic cleansing, which breach domestic and international laws, and all international treaties the government of Ethiopia signed and ratified.    The Human Rights League of the Horn of Africa wants to hold the TPLF government accountable as a group and as individuals for the crimes they have committed and are committing against Oromos and others.

The HRLHA calls on all human rights families, non-governmental civic organizations, HRLHA members, supporters and sympathizers to stand beside the HRLHA and provide moral, professional and financial help to bring the dictatorial TPLF government and officials to international justice.

The HRLHA is a non-political organization which attempts to challenge abuses of human rights of the people of various nations and nationalities in the Horn of Africa. It works to defend fundamental human rights including freedoms of thought, expression, movement and association. It also works on raising the awareness of individuals about their own basic human rights and those of others. It encourages respect for laws and due process. It promotes the growth and development of free and vigorous civil societies.
