“Awarding Nobel Peace Prize to Abiy Ahmed contradicts the aim of the award” Tedla Asfaw

The agreement signed did not bring any fruit after more than one and a half years.

If there was peace Eritreans would not have died crossing seas and deserts as we speak.

 Eritrean army is preparing for war with Ethiopia any day now because Tigray, which has been out of the control of the Addis Ababa administration, was not part of the peace process whose people are affected by the peace more than anyone in Ethiopia.

Moreover, the situation in Ethiopia under Abiy Ahmed has escalated ethnic conflicts and displacements in all parts of Ethiopia, which is widely reported by foreign media.

Attacks on Ethiopian Orthodox church followers have resulted in more than thirty churches burnt down, the highest in our recent history.

Last Saturday, Shimeles Abdissa the Oromo party president boasts of breaking the back of ” Neftegnas” after losing the Oromo land 150 years ago. He proclaimed this is the Oromo land.

 Addis Ababa non-Oromos more than 85%  estimated out of 6  million people are branded as settlers who have no right to the land. Addis residents can not exercise their rights to elect the mayor and council of the city. Power is to Oromos with or without an election. This is the only major city in the world that denied its residents’ basic human rights after living there for more than three generations.  It is from Apartheid 101 !!!! The major conflict is certain.

I can assure you that giving peace prize for Abiy Ahmed under the current political situation in Ethiopia is rewarding his Oromo followers to Keep on intimidating and attacking the more than eighty non-Oromo ethnic groups and accelerates civil war in Ethiopia.
