Ethiopia is a complex country with a long authoritarian history denying the basic human right for the majority people of the country. The country suffers from a perennial affliction that causes it to see conspiracies and external enemies everywhere whenever it confronts determined homegrown opposition. It’s quick to label its own citizens and communities as agents of external foes as a pretext to violently suppress or even eliminate dissent.

Waiting for the upcoming election, members of the opposition leaders, like Mr. Jawar Mohammed, had already gained the love and respect of majorities people in Ethiopia. Mr. Jawar was very intelligent in the use of media. That’s where the PM’s loss of confidence and fear starts. The defeat in media, political frustration, loss of confidence and stresses was clearly visible on Abiy’s face.

The assassination of Haacaalu Hundeessaa, a popular artist and the Oromo activist, in the capital, Finfinnee, late on Monday night 29th June 2020 was orchestrated by the government. More than 10 thousand mourners occupy the streets of the Capital and the opposition leaders were among the mourners.

The Abiy’s administration had already preplanned to exploit the situation as an opportunity to target the prominent Opposition leaders like Jawar Mohammed and Bekele Gerba. Arresting them with thousands of mourners, shutting down the only Internet, shutting down the OMN Media and arresting all Oromo Journalists was their main target Military forces carrying sniper have been unleashed with a mission to execute the Oromo protesters.

The only reason Abiy is arresting these prominent opposition leaders is that he lost the support from the nation he thought he represents. He no longer has the support from the large Oromo people. In fact, his identity is in question which is why his campaign in Oromia region was not successful at all.

The loss of confidence, over the upcoming election, made the PM Abiy Ahmed to project his frustration over the opposition leaders including his own member who challenged his ideas of Medemar. The political panic of PM Abiy Ahmed appears to be dictator unleashing military forces against innocent citizens. Rather than reconciliation, Abiy chose to pour salt on the wounds of Oromo people.

Before Abiy came to power, Dr. Lemma Megersa, the current defense Minister, once had won the heart of Ethiopia's majority. He was known as the engine of the change in galvanizing the Oromo and Amhara ethnic groups against the former toxic regime. He was also the man with great contribution in ushering Dr. Abiy to power. Today, no one knows whether Dr. Lemma is assassinated or not. But one thing everybody knows is that Dr. Lemma did not accept the idea of Medemar.

Recently, the government has convicted prominent opposition leaders by providing fabricated evidence. Government supported TV like ESAT, Walta and ETV shamelessly disseminating sketchy, intermittent and misleading news. The Judgment court is only there to accomplish the will of the PM and impartiality of the judiciary bodies are still in question.

The PM Abiy Ahmed underestimated the report of Human right watch and Amnesty International describing the report as it was just a script. However, his administration has already killed over 500 hundred innocent mourners and arrested more than 4000 Since June 29 in just 5 days. Yet, the PM is still publicly aggravating protesters and activists living in diaspora, derogatorily inviting them saying “Come into Ethiopia and get killed struggling like Hacaalu Hundessa”.

Which is precisely clarifying that, he is himself is behind the assassination of Mr. Hundessa.

The internet black out by the government is exactly the Abiy’s intention to block reliable information going out to the outside world. In fact, the internet blackout is a pre-planned strategy to allow only government supported media to spread misleading information for local and the international media outlets. However, there are credible reports indicating widespread upheavals, including violent military confrontations at every doorstep of Oromo people as we speak.

Mr. Daniel Kibret, who is currently working as the PM’s advisor is known for his preaching ethnic violence in the church, by underestimating the majority people of Ethiopia. He said “it’s easy to turn the majority of people into a minority. The only way to score a goal is, if we only play the game on the rival’s territory”. Here today, the Abiy administration deployed heavy gun equipped armies within the Oromia region, where youths, child, man, woman, and elderly, are being targeted at their doorstep, intimidated, raped, imprisoned, and killed by the military forces.
