To fullfil his long held dream of independent Greater Tigray Republic, the tyrant Meles made deals with Sudan’s dictator Al Bashir, who is responsible for the Genocide in Darfur, to get a sea port access. The deal just like any other deal is a give and take. Well, for Meles he doesn’t have anything in Tigray that he could possibly give to Bashir so he decided to give land from Gondar to Wallaga. In between, there is Benishangul Gumz which includes Assosa, Metekel and Kamashi. To appease these Gumuz people Meles tries to carve out land from Eastern Wallaga and give it to them. He is doing all this though being behind the scenes. There was a misinformation campaign of invasion by Sudan at first when they learnt their secret deals became public. Then Meles came out and admitted to his totally ineffectual bunches that he calls parliament that “Sudan and Ethiopia have agreed that the border demarcation, to start in the near future, will not displace any individuals from the land they occupy”. Not long after that though, the Benishangul Gumuz people are being displaced from Assosa and Metekel and are given green light from Meles and his surrogates in Benishangul to forcefuly take land from Oromia region. Sudan Tribune says:
“Oromos further accused the federal government of manipulating and arming the Gumuz to attack their neighboring Oromo over land claim.”
“The Oromo residents also suspect both the regional sate of Benishangul Gumuz and central government have role in arming and mobilizing the Gumuz to attack them.”
“Benishangul Gumuz state is located in the border with the eastern Sudan state of Blue Nile.”
“The federal police and Oromia regional police have not intervened to avert the armed attacks, residents claimed. They further say that the conflict is still going on and people are dying, houses and properties are being burned down daily.”
“For over a century, the two tribes share the same history of repression under successive Ethiopian regimes and lived together peacefully.”
This is the same thing OLF warned few weeks back in its radio broadcast. Here is a quote which sums up the whole shenanigans.
“The long term goal of the land “gift” to Sudan according to the O L F commentary is to plant a long term conflict between Sudan and Ethiopia mirroring the Badme “fiasco” which took the lives of tens of thousands of Ethiopians.”
