Amid blackout, western Oromia plunges deeper into chaos and confusion
The government is once more employing repressive tactics to try and stamp out a rebellion, but they may be having the opposite effect. After he was accused of being an insurgent, prisoner Gammachu Garomsa was reportedly beaten to death by Ethiopian security forces and his body thrown into the bush at Yubdo Kebele in Oromia.
If Qerro can stand the "repressive" Hailemariam Desalgn regime and win how can it lack the power to stand against the 'reformist' Abiy regime? Jawar did you leave your fighting spirit in the States or with the laptop you gave to Lemma? " Ye jib chikul qend Yinekesla" alu ... the color revolution was not meant to bring democracy or empower citizens Jawar...! Why all the silence against such repression?

Ethiopia Passes Law Imposing Jail Terms for Internet Posts That Stir Unrest
ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - Ethiopia's parliament passed a law on Thursday imposing jail terms for people whose internet posts stir unrest, a move the government says is needed to prevent violence ahead of elections but which the United Nations says will stifle free speech.





Cultural Power
Gezaee Assefa Feb 12, 2020 - Almost every nation/society in the world is experiencing some kind of political, economic, ideological, social and cultural conflict. Today, these conflicts accelerate from time to time to when they are not forcefully addressed by a society. The common proposal for resolution is in one direction, a direction of self-empowerment and absolute power by one group over the other.

Happy 45! እንቋዕኣብፅሓኩም ኣብፅሓና!
Milkias M Yohannes Feb 12, 2020 - Congratulations and happy 45th anniversary to the TPLF and the valiant fraternal people of TIGRAI! As an Eritrean admirer and witness to the heroic struggle and sacrifice of TEGADELTI TIGRAI and its people, I feel honored and privileged to say...

The Known Unknowns of Ethiopia's Defense Forces in the Upcoming Election
Elias Dawit Feb 11, 2020 - It seems almost certain that Ethiopia is heading towards a cataclysmic turn of events-and sooner rather than later. Tensions are rising on a daily basis as triple threats of ethnic and religious conflict along with power struggles threaten to crack the foundation of the constitutional order and perhaps the integrity of the state itself. Like boxers posturing in their corners, Ethiopia's political actors have volubly expressed their vision of what the country should look like



Comments on Hedase Dam
Awash Teklehaimanot, PhD, MPH Feb 11, 2020 - Great respect is due to the Ethiopian people who championed the construction of Hedase Dam, the commitment of the professionals in the area, in particular the Technical Team under the leadership of Engineer Shileshi and the overall government coordination of the project. This project would not have been realized had it not been for the commitment of every Ethiopian who pooled its resources for this important cause

Is Ethiopia a new Congo in the making?
Yemane G Feb 10, 2020 - Some 4 years back, I was in one of the clinics in Addis. One of my clients was a hapless black woman in her forties with her two developmentally retarded girls. She had inconsolable tears of sorrow once she entered my room, deep in her heart was an agonizing pain, and her emotions have taken her. I emphatically soothed her, but can't hide the painful night after...

On Culture
Aesop 08/02/2020 - Gen. Wedi Worede was right when he said: 'This generation is neither inferior nor superior to its predecessors!' This is best reflected in Tigrean art: the state of the art music videos we've been fortunate to see. The Selamawits', the Edens', the Mahlets', the Kibroms', the Muse Shakur's', the Awots', the Yapi Mapis', the Solomons', the Merkebs', the Waris', etc, etc. This generation of Renaissance has represented!

National pride, national shame
When news broke last October that Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed had won the Nobel Peace Prize, Ethiopians were somewhat divided. As could be gleaned from headlines, some must also have been ambivalent. Amid these diverse reactions, the strangest were those that tried to defend the award by equating it with national pride. Can the Nobel Peace Prize really serve as a source of national pride for Ethiopians?

'In good and bad times': Africa's biggest airline, Ethiopian, sticks by China's side
Ethio­pian Airlines has become the loudest proponent of sticking by China and keeping trade links open, even while six other African airlines including Kenya Airways and South African Airways have suspended their flights."Ethiopian Airlines serves countries in good and bad times," the airline's chief executive, Tewolde Gebremariam, told local media in Ethiopia this weekend.
We are pleasantly surprised the populist government has not forced the Airline to stop its daily flight to mainland China. One would expect Abiy to echo the decision of his handlers from DC! Does this mean Abiy is more worried about money than anything else? If so why doesn't he see the money Hedase Dam will generate in the future? Why is he allowing Egypt to control the Aby/Nile river?



Ethiopia and Eritrea: National Security, militarization and normalization predicaments
Meressa Tsehaye Gebrewahd Mekelle University 02-08-20 - Since May 1998, Ethiopia and Eritrea relation has been resulted in a structural national security crisis defined by two years' war, two decades of 'no war, no peace' stalemate and 'fragile normalization' since June 2018. Their security predicaments are basically results of antagonistic nation building, foreign and national security policies.

Abiy Ahmed is a traitor-in-chief, who allows Issaias to continue his atrocities in Eritrea, And dump his trash in the Ethiopian political soil.
Haile Tessema, Feb 08, 2020 - Before Abiy's rise to the highest office in the land by fluke, the Eritrean President was on a downward spiral politically, and on the verge of collapse personally. Degenerating from hero to zero in the eyes of his citizens; isolated from regional, continental and international politics, Issaias became bitter, paranoid, emotionally depressed, and his physical health deteriorated compelling him to travel abroad more frequently for medical treatment than work visits.

Have You No Shame? A reminder to Major Dawit Woldegiorgis (Part 1 of 2)
Tibebe Samuel Ferenji 02/08/2020 - There are times that you can't just ignore articles you read without responding to it. Particularly articles published with ill-will and with a preconceived design to simply demonize leaders who work tirelessly to make a positive change in our nation. It is particularly difficult to keep quiet when you read false allegations of genocide against a person recognized ...

A drop in the bucket for disadvantaged creators
In recent times, social commentary and movements are on the tide of the ill advantaged, sparking the conversation of equality and balance, but even in that sphere disabled and disadvantaged still lack access. Around 10 million people – rougly 10 percent of the world’s population- live with a disability, around some 56% (almost 4 billion people) do not have access to the internet ...
Open Letter to Dr. Abiy Ahmed, Prime Minister of Ethiopia - Make Sure Ethiopia's Water Sovereignty is Protected
Ermias Hailu February 07, 2020 - Egypt has been "the behind the curtain" organizer, financier, and leader of the instabilities Ethiopia has been experiencing during the last ten years. Egypt has developed and implemented a "Grand Ethiopian Destabilization Strategy" to destabilize Ethiopia. The strategy was developed after careful study and analysis of the internal weaknesses of Ethiopia, such as the fluid nature of EPRDF ...
