🔥 Amhara & Oromos bombing Tigray – Using Rape, Hunger & Forced Resettlement (Mengistu did it back then, Abiy Ahmed is doing the same now) as a Weapon against People in Tigray for the past 130 years:-

👉 1. Menelik II. (1844 – 1913)

The Great Ethiopian Famine of 1888-1892

The great famine is estimated to have caused 3.5 million deaths. During Emperor Menelik’s Reign, Tigray was split into two regions, one of which he sold to the Italians who later named it Eritrea. Only two months after the death of Emperor Yohaness lV , Menelik signed the Wuchale treaty of 2 May 1889 conceding Eritrea to the Italians. It was not only Eritrea that Menelik gave away, he also had a hand in letting Djibouti be part of the French protectorate when he agreed the border demarcation with the French in 1887. Some huge parts of Tigray were put under Gonder. The Southern part, places like present day Alamata, Kobo etc were put under Wello Amhara administration.

👉 2. Haile Selassie (1892 – 1975)

In 1943, at the request of the Emperor Haile Selassie, the Royal British Airforce bombed two towns – Mekelle and Corbetta. Thousands of defenseless civilians lost their lives as a result of aerial bombardment. It is recorded that ‘on 14th October [1943] 54 bombs dropped in Mekelle, 6th October 14 bombs followed by another 16 bombs on 9thOctober in Hintalo, 7th/9th October 32 bombs in Corbetta’.

Between 2 and 5 million’ people died between 1958 and 1977 as a cumulative result. Haile Selassie, who was emperor at the time, refused to send any significant basic emergency food aid to the province of Tigray,

👉 3. Mengistu Hailemariam (1937 – )

1979 – 1985 + 1987

Due to organized government policies that deliberately multiplied the effects of the famine, around 1.2 million people died from this famine. Mengistu & his Children still alive & ‘well’ while Tigrayans starving again.

👉 4. Abiy Ahmed Ali (1976 – )

2018 – Until today: probably up to 500.000 already dead. 😠😠😠 😢😢😢 Unlike the past famine there is no natural or man-made drought, rather, Abiy simply uses war and hunger as a weapon. Abiy Ahmed sent his kids to America for safety, while bombing & starving Tigrayan kids!

🔥 TERRORISM IN DESSIE BOMBING REPORTS CONFIRMED

“One of the Most Inhuman Acts on Record”

TENTATIVE PEACE PLAN FOR LEAGUE

(Australian Associated Press.)

💥 LONDON. December 8.

Press correspondents confirm the earlier messages regarding the raid on Dessie and the bombing of the hospital, which is universally condemned as a violation of international law.

The “Daily Telegraph’s” correspondent at Dessie states that pitiful scenes were witnessed throughout Saturday night. The terrified inhabitants are fleeing to the mountains, carrying their belongings. Some are bearing on their backs crippled and wounded relatives, and mothers have their babies strapped to their bodies.

The American hospital is carrying on operations under the shattered roof. Doctors, working throughout the night, performed 32 amputations. The grounds of the Seventh Day Adventist hospital, where American journalists and photographers were quartered, presented a grim scene, being littered with wounded and dying. It is the opinion of foreign doctors that the bombing was

one of the most inhuman acts on record.

💥 LONDON, December 8.

The British United Press correspondent at Dessie states that an Italian aeroplane, numbered “97,” dropped a taunting message to the Emperor. “We

salute you, Negus. Did your umbrella do you any good today! How do you

like our biscuits?”

The Emperor has ordered the departure of all citizens and the town is now practically deserted. Only a few policemen and Red Cross officials are to be seen in the pot-holed streets. A communique here announces that the Italian troops have retired and are now fortifying the line from Aksum to Adowa and Adigrat with barbed wire and machine guns every hundred yards. Ras Gugsa, in a message to chiefs in Tigre, appeals to them to follow his example and join Italy, and thus save the country from ruin. Many chiefs have sent their copy of the leaflet to the Emperor.

💥 “HOSPITAL ATTACK DELIBERATE.“

The Addis Ababa correspondent of “The Times” states: “Private impartial sources state that the attack on the Red Cross at Dessie appeared most deliberate and suggested that the Italian fliers may have thought the Emperor was there. He was, however, in the Italian Consulate buildings.

“The Government denies that Dessie is a troop centre and declares that the only armed units are police. There is not a single anti-aircraft gun there, and only one machine gun, which the Emperor himself manned during the bombardment.”

💥 MUSSOLINI’S TERMS.

💥 ROME, December 8.

The Government Spokesman has out-lined Signor Mussolini’s peace terms as

follows :

(1) The fulfillment of Italy’s right of colonial expansion.

(2) The fulfillment of Italy’s right to colonial security and defence.

(3) Consideration of the present military situation.

(4) Consideration of Italy’s economic requirements.

(5) Recognition of the difference be-tween Amharic and non-Amharic peoples

in Abyssinia in Italy’s favour, tantamount to reducing the present so-called

Empire to the central plateau south of the 14th parallel and the line of the eighth parallel and limited by the 24^th and 40th meridians on the west and east.

It is explained that the frontier in the region of the 14th parallel takes into consideration the present military situation by allowing the establishment of Italian colonisation, civilisation, and exploitation of the ground already occu-

pied. The Italians declare that the voluntary withdrawal of their troops is out of the question.

It is thought unlikely that Haile Silassie would surrender such areas. Moreover, even if he consented, France probably would not abandon her already

reduced sphere of influence.

💥 TENTATIVE PEACE PLAN.

PARIS, December 8.

At the close of his conversations with Sir Samuel Hoare, which lasted the whole day, M. Laval issued the following statement this evening : “Animated by the same spirit of conciliation and friendship we have searched for a formula to serve as a basis for an amicable settlement of the Italo-Ethiopian conflict.

There is no question at pre-sent of making the result public. The British Government has not yet been informed, and once its adhesion is obtained it will be necessary to submit the formula to the governments interested and to the decision of the League. We have worked with one and the same desire, to assure as rapidly as possible a pacific, honourable settlement. We are both satisfied with the result reached.”

lt is clear that Sir Samuel Hoare and M. Laval have agreed to a tentative peace plan for submission to the League, Italy, and Abyssinia, but it must first receive the imprimatur of the British Cabinet, for which Mr Peterson is journeying to London tonight, carrying the momentous proposals. lt is reported that Sir Samuel and M. Laval agreed that if there is an unfavourable reception from Signor Mussolini, France and Britain will unquestionably recommended an oil embargo, to operate from January 1.In the meantime, at the request of the statesmen, there is no speculation on the terms of the plan, which are being kept strictly secret. All the Quaid’Orsay will admit is the total solidarity of British and French views.

💥 EXCHANGE OF TERRITORIES.

LONDON, December 8.

The “Daily Telegraph’s” diplomatic correspondent in Paris states: “The French Government has accepted the British view that a workable solution will most likely be found in an ex-change of Italian and Abyssinian terri-tories, providing Italy with fertile areas in southern Abyssinia and Abyssinia with access to the sea. It will probably be found that an entirely new propo-sal will be made respecting Tigre.

“It is emphasised that complete soli-darity has been established between the French and British Governments. “All reports from Rome indicate that the proposals, the purport of which is apparently known in official circles, will

go further than anything hitherto sug-gested.”

💥 PARIS, December 8.

Well-informed sources state that the Ogaden and Danakil districts and the whole of Tigre, except the sacred city of Aksum, would be given to Italy,

which would receive sufficient land to accommodate 1,500,000 colonists, being

double the territories which Britain agreed should be given to Italy. If Italy refuses to cede Assab to Abys-sinia, Britain is ready to give up Zeila.

A French Minister who participated in some of the discussions, said: “I be-lieve we have done good work. If I were an Italian I would accept.”

💥 ITALY IMPRESSED.

ROME, December 9.

The Franco-British formulae as re-ported are regarded as a notable improvement on the Italian viewpoint and therefore deserving of consideration.

💥 “RED CROSSES ON NEARLY EVERY HOUSE.”

(Published in “The Times.”)

LONDON, December 8

An Italian statement from the Asmara corespondent of ” The Times” says :

“The four aeroplanes which re-visited Dessie on Saturday saw no vestige of the enemy’s forces, thousands of whose tents were visible on Friday, but the observers noted that the roof of nearly every house in the town was miraculously adorned with a bright red cross.”

💭 They gave no explanation for the July raid, but there was no need: The detained men knew right away they were joining the thousands of Tigrayans rounded up for allegedly supporting the Tigray People’s Liberation Front TPLF rebel group.

For the past year, a mass campaign of arbitrary arrests targeting Tigrayans from all walks of life has played out in the capital Addis Ababa and elsewhere in Ethiopia — a mostly hidden feature of the relentless war in the country’s north.

Law enforcement leaders portray it as a legitimate effort to stamp out the TPLF, which they consider a terrorist organisation.

Yet AFP interviews with dozens of detainees, lawyers, justice officials and human rights activists reveal a more indiscriminate operation, ensnaring everyone from high-ranking military officers to ordinary day labourers.

Victims told AFP their experiences smacked of ethnic profiling, with cases built on threadbare evidence.

In the case of the detained clergymen, police held them for more than two weeks, accusing them of fundraising for the TPLF, burning Ethiopian flags and even plotting terrorist attacks themselves.

One of the monks said he could not help but laugh when an investigator asked where they hid their pistols.

“We told them we are men of faith, not politicians,” he told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity for safety reasons.

“I don’t know where they get this information. But they are using it to kick Tigrayans’ legs out from under us, to make us live in fear.”

– Military purge –

The detentions began soon after war broke out in Ethiopia’s northernmost Tigray region in early November 2020, the culmination of months of rancour between Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and the TPLF, which dominated national politics before Abiy took office in 2018.

At first, officials mainly targeted military personnel.

Two weeks after the first shots were fired, dozens of Tigrayan officers were summoned for a televised meeting in Addis Ababa, with state media airing the footage as evidence of the participants’ support for the government.

Yet later, at least three of the officers were arrested and had their homes searched for weapons before being locked up for allegedly conspiring to overthrow Abiy, family members told AFP.

Michael, whose father was among those arrested, said he was mystified by the move.

“He didn’t like to talk about politics,” Michael said of his father, a mid-level officer with a three-decade record of service.

“In fact, he used to scold us when we talked about politics.”

After a state media report in August said a military court had handed down death sentences to some “traitorous” officers, Michael’s worries deepened.

“I fear very much that they may apply the death sentence or life sentence to my father and the people around him,” he told AFP.

A military spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.

Nearly a year on, Michael’s father remains in custody at a military camp west of Addis Ababa.

With the right to receive visitors three times a week, he is one of the lucky ones, as thousands of others have been held incommunicado.

– Critics silenced –

As the war dragged on into 2021, the detentions steadily climbed, albeit slowly.

But they kicked back into high gear in late June after the TPLF mounted a stunning comeback, retaking control of most of the region including its capital Mekelle and prompting the military to largely withdraw.

Three nights after Mekelle was recaptured, five federal police officers and three plainclothes officers knocked at the Addis Ababa home of Alula, a Tigrayan activist who had been using his Facebook page to highlight massacres and gang rapes in Tigray.

They held him overnight at a police station in the capital, after which soldiers drove him to a military camp 200 kilometres 125 miles east, in the Afar region.

For the next seven weeks, Alula — not his real name — lived off one piece of bread and two cups of water each day.

The camp’s more than 1,000 detainees included journalists and politicians who had spoken out about the horrors of a conflict that has killed thousands and, according to the UN, pushed hundreds of thousands into famine-like conditions.

Alula was released, but he no longer feels safe discussing the war.

“If I do, I’ll get arrested again or maybe killed,” he told AFP.

Along with detentions, officials have closed thousands of “TPLF-supporting” businesses, something a trade ministry official boasted about to state media in September.

On a single block in Addis Ababa, seven bars and two hotels were closed in July because of “noise pollution”, a claim their owners dismiss as baseless.

“Basically they are imagining that Tigrayans were celebrating the TPLF’s advance,” bar owner Michael told AFP.

The closures, he added, are further evidence that officials are targeting all Tigrayans, not just active TPLF backers.

– ‘Every person is uncertain’ –

Given its secretive nature, the full scale of the crackdown is impossible to determine, said Fisseha Tekle, a researcher for Amnesty International who has investigated arbitrary arrests of Tigrayans.

Yet he noted that Amnesty has “received multiple reports” of more than 1,000 people held at one camp alone in “squalid” conditions.

Many detainees remain unaccounted for.

“Family members have travelled hundreds of kilometres in search of detained relatives. Others went round police stations in Addis searching for relatives,” he told AFP.

The arrests have also drawn criticism from some government officials.

In late September, Abraha Desta, a senior official in the Abiy-appointed Tigray interim administration, wrote on Facebook that the authorities had created an environment in which speaking Tigrinya, the Tigrayan language, “is considered a crime”.

The following day Abraha too was arrested, accused of a firearms violation and incitement.

Other officials have reportedly spoken out privately.

During a retreat in September in the city of Adama, Attorney General Gedion Timothewos scolded members of his office’s asset recovery directorate for being overzealous in going after Tigrayan business owners, according to several officials who attended.

At one point he accused the directorate of engaging in an “abuse of power” and called for an end to “ethnic profiling”, the officials told AFP.

Gedion, now the justice minister, did not respond to a request for comment.

Even if the arrests were to stop tomorrow, victims fear they have already severely corroded Ethiopia’s social fabric, especially in Addis Ababa, where Tigrayans once lived freely.

“It’s obvious that every person is uncertain… they don’t know what will happen tomorrow,” said one Tigrayan lawyer currently representing 90 fellow Tigrayans who are detained.

“Even myself, I am not confident. At any time they can detain me.”
