Is part of Ethiopia about to break away?
--- Quote ---
> Leaders of Ethiopia's Tigray region are stepping up their feud
with the federal government, led by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
They say they'll no longer recognise the Addis Ababa
administration after the Electoral Commission delayed polls due
in August because of Coronavirus. Tigray went ahead with its
local elections anyway, a move Prime Minister Ahmed described as
'illegal'. It's raised concern Tigray's leaders are laying the
groundwork for the creation of a breakaway state.

The Battle for Ethiopia | People and Power
--- Quote ---
> When Ethiopia’s prime minister, Abiy Ahmed, came to power in
2018, he promised a new era of democratic reforms and an end to
years of autocracy.
>
> Political prisoners were freed, opposition parties were
allowed to operate, and the new prime minister even won a Nobel
Prize for securing peace with neighbouring Eritrea after decades
of an uneasy armistice.
>
> But since then, long-standing ethnic divisions have made the
future of this complex country more uncertain.

Is Ethiopia on the way to civil war? | Inside Story
--- Quote ---
> Tigray's leaders have dominated Ethiopia's ruling coalition of
ethnically based parties for decades. But after Abiy Ahmed
became prime minister, they refused to join his single party
alliance. They've also resisted his sweeping reforms. And in
September, they went ahead with local elections, defying Abiy's
decision to suspend polls. He now says his patience has run out
with Tigray. He's ordered a military operation in the region
after accusing the TPLF of attacking federal troops. It's feared
the feud could lead to the break up of Ethiopia. Just what are
the causes of tension there?

Rockets ‘fired from Ethiopia’s Tigray region’ hit Eritrea
capital
--- Quote ---
> At least three rockets have been fired from Ethiopia into
neighbouring Eritrea, potentially adding a regional dimension to
the conflict between Ethiopian government forces and leaders in
the Tigray region on the 11th day of fighting. Diplomats in the
region say two of the rockets hit the main airport in Eritrea's
capital, Asmara. The Tigrayan People's Liberation Front had
earlier threatened Eritrea. Eritrea and Ethiopia signed a peace
deal two years ago, but Asmara is not on good terms with the
Tigrayan leadership.

Ethiopian PM again rejects dialogue with Tigray leaders
--- Quote ---
> Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has once again ruled out
dialogue with leaders in the northern Tigray region to end
fighting. But in a meeting with African Union envoys, Abiy said
he would speak with regional leaders that were "operating
legally," as he put it. Meanwhile, shipments of humanitarian aid
are being ramped up in Sudan to help tens of thousands who've
fled the fighting. #Ethiopia #Tigray #Africa

under current conditions, staying put and waiting for food aid
to arrive is a self-imposed death sentence. Migration to the EU
is your only hope! And the less hungry you are when you start
your journey, the better your chances of making it!

It's the rightist who doing Cultural Marxism who always broke
their struggle to gain justice... I don't know why people still
seeing democracy as a "pillar of justice".... From where we can
find justice on democracy? From the toilet maybe?
Banning the rightist is the best way to achieve our goals more
quickly. Not educating them with meekness and flabbiness.
