Most recently the eviction of 5,000 ethnic Amharas from Benishangul Gumuz regional state was a hot issue on Ethiopian media. Starting the day ESAT reported on the incident, we have heard many reports on the issue and now most recently we heard that the Benishangul Gumuz regional administrators had apologize for the incident and call the evicted to return claiming it a mistake and vows to take administrative action on those involved.
Some considered the apology as a positive progress on the situation. Is it really a good progress? Are the returnees safe when they are back? How are these victims assisted to return to their regular life? Would these returnees coop up with the psychological trauma they have passed through? We did heard nothing how these people are going to be assisted, so one which point is the progress? The apology is just to escape from the mounting criticisms of the media and Ethiopians around the world and would do nothing good for the victims.
Actually my point wasn’t to talk about the apology but rather was the eviction of ethnic Amharas from Benishangul Gumuz just a mistake?
knowing TPLF`s hatred for ethnic Amharas its difficult to accept it as a mistake and for this it’s enough to recall the atrocities and ethnic cleansing by ethnocentric TPLF on ethnic Amharas in the last 21 years let me mention few among many.
The intention of humiliating ethnic Amharas by TPLF begins from their struggle for power by alienating ethnic Amharas as chauvinists and national oppressors which is followed soon by hateful revenge by systematically cleansing ethnic Amharas no one forgets :-
- The killing of 150 Amhara civilians in December 1991 in small village of Arba Gugu in western Harrarge
- In April 1992 again 150 Amharas were killed in the town of Bedeno in the same region
- And more killings of civilians including man and woman in Grawa Asebot, Assosa and Bedeno.
- The expulsion of people from different part of the country just because this people are ethnic Amharas.
- The missing of 2.4 million from the population on 2007 national census.
And what we are witnessing the expulsion of ethnic Amharas from Benishiangul Gumuz and Gura Ferda in SNNP is not just a mistake or because this people are illegal settlers rather it’s the continuity of the legacy of hatred towards ethnic Amharas by the late prime Monster Meles Zenawi .
And so let’s not simply consider the incident of evicting innocent civilians from different parts of the country as a simple mistake. We all have to stand in unit regardless of our ethnic backgrounds or language to stop any form of discrimination based on ethnic background, language or religion.
We have to say NO for any form Racism!
MAY GOD BLESS ETHIOPIA!
