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.[/quote]

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?[/quote]

Sudan braces for up to 200,000 fleeing Ethiopia fighting
[quote]No sign of a lull in fighting that has included multiple
air raids by federal forces and hundreds of people reported dead
on each side.[/quote]
[quote]As many as 200,000 refugees could pour into Sudan while
fleeing the deadly conflict in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray
region, officials say, as more than 8,000 people have already
crossed the border.
Long lines have appeared outside bread shops in the Tigray
region, and supply-laden trucks are stranded at its borders, the
United Nations humanitarian chief in the country said.
“We want to have humanitarian access as soon as possible,”
Sajjad Mohammad Sajid said. “Fuel and food are needed urgently.”
Up to two million people in Tigray have a “very, very difficult
time”, he said late on Tuesday, including hundreds of thousands
of displaced people.
Hundreds have died in air raids and fighting since the conflict
erupted a week ago, according to reports. Fears are growing that
Ethiopia, a nation of 110 million, could slide into a civil war.
Under growing pressure, at least 8,000 Ethiopian refugees have
crossed the now-closed border into Sudan, the state-run SUNA
news agency reported. The agency, citing unidentified officials,
said more than 200,000 Ethiopians were expected to cross into
Sudan in the coming days.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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[/quote]

[quote]'Why are we being ignored' plead the hungry in Ethiopia's
Afar
...
the regional authorities told the displaced to return home,
promising help.
Abdu and his family headed back to Erebti, where they are still
waiting for aid.
"We answered the call and here we are with nothing," he said.
- 'What have we done wrong?' -
The residents of Erebti take shelter from the searing heat under
plastic sheets stretched under trees on the edge of a dry
riverbed that lies below the road.
...
Across all of northern Ethiopia -- Tigray, Afar and Amhara --
more than 13 million people are in need of food aid, according
to the United Nations.[/quote]
As I kept trying to warn:

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.
