Elias Dawit 11-06-20 - In April 1994, the government of Rwanda shot down the plane of President Juvenal Habyarimana, setting off a planned genocide that killed upwards of one million Tutsis and moderate Hutus.

It is difficult to imagine the horrifying intimacy of using a machete to kill family members, friends and neighbors.
Appeal to all well-meaning members of the Amhara community in Diaspora
Urgent: This is an urgent appeal to all well-meaning members of the Amhara community. We all should be working hard to foil the sinister plan of Abiy Ahmed. For the sake of fulfilling his mother's dream of him becoming the king of Ethiopia and for his thirst for power, he has a habit designing conflicts of one ethic group against the other.

AP Explains: Why Ethiopia is suddenly on brink of civil
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Suddenly Ethiopia appears on the brink of civil war, threatening the stability of one of the world's most strategic regions, the Horn of Africa, and the fracturing of one of Africa's most powerful and populous countries. The TPLF objects to Ethiopia's delayed election, blamed on the COVID-19 pandemic, and Abiy's extended time in office. In September, the Tigray region voted in a local election that Ethiopia's
federal government
called illegal. The
federal government
later moved to divert funding from the TPLF executive to local governments, angering the regional leadership.

Aside from the alleged TPLF attack on the military base, the immediate cause of the hostilities was a constitutional dispute over delayed national elections that brought the spat between the federal and Tigray authorities to a head. Given the likely catastrophic consequences of the conflict for both Ethiopia and the region, it is essential that all sides step back and halt hostilities before it is too late.
