Commission has been following the developments in the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, with concern. On 4 November 2020 the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia launched a military offensive against the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), this was followed by attacks on the Northern Command of the Ethiopian National Defence Forces by the TPLF on the same day.
Following reports and information received regarding alleged human rights violations in the Tigray region, the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (the ACHPR), issued a Press Statement on 26 November 2020, condemning the attack, and reminding the parties of their obligations under international humanitarian law and international human rights law. The said Press Statement also urged parties to engage in dialogue with a view to finding lasting, peaceful and mutually acceptable solutions in the best interests of the population.
Noting that the situation continued to unfold without any signs of abating, during its 67th Ordinary Session held virtually, the ACHPR adopted a Resolution: ACHPR/Res.469 (LXVII) 2020 on the Situation in the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, condemning the use of force, and calling on the Government of Ethiopia to take actions to protect the human rights of the populations affected and to take concrete steps to end the conflict.
On 9 March 2021, following a meeting of the African Union Peace and Security Council (PSC) held, in which the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, His Excellency Mr. Abiy Ahmed expressed its willingness to engage the ACHPR to conduct investigations into the ongoing crisis in the Tigray Region, jointly with its Ethiopian National Human Rights Institution, the African Union Commission (AUC) Chairperson His Excellency Mr. Moussa Faki Mahamat (Chairperson) invited the ACHPR to exercise its mandate to initiate an investigation.
During its 32nd Extra-Ordinary Session, held virtually on 12 May 2021, the ACHPR adopted a Resolution on the Fact-Finding Mission to the Tigray Region of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, (see Website), and decided pursuant to Article 45(2) read together with Article 46 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (The African Charter), to establish a Commission of Inquiry (COI) into the situation in the Tigray Region.

Honestly, one can only utter — in complete frozen surprise — ONE word: >> “REALY”?!? and continue living [or existing] with all sorts of phenomenon. THE END

Please correct my name to read “rezen”
This independent assessment from the AU shows that Abiy is a little brown Trump. A habitual liar and a show off kid!
Abiy even lies about himself. Sometimes he claims to be an Amhara and then an Ormomo, a Muslim then a Pentecostal, then an Orthodox Christian and so on and so on. The only thing he has not lied about so far is his gender. And that might be a matter of time – he could claim to be a women soon. Who knows with this little kid!
It is truly tragic that a great country such as Ethiopia is led by this little baby s..,,,,. Never in the history of the world has a leader of a country allowed another country to come/invade their own country and destroy infrastructure, loot, rape, cause famine and kill civilians with impunity. Baby Abiy has no shame.
One asks, what happened to the Ethiopian people and army to see their country invaded by the smallest and perhaps the poorest country in Africa? Where is the pride of the Amhara’s who used to shout from a mountain top “Ethiopia is the only country in Africa that has never been colonised”. Well Ethiopia is now the only country in Africa that has been colonised and there is frankly nothing Baby Abiy can do about it.
A novice and inexperienced Abiy was flattered by hugs from the Godfather of evil, Isaias, to sell Ethiopia and humiliate its people. The one thing Baby Abiy is yet to learn is that Isaias is an expert in stubbing his friends on the back, and I’m sure Abiy will be the next. Give it a few months.
God save Ethiopia from Abiy and Isaias.
Eritrea forever, death to dictatorship.
Indeed, it is sad when the story revolves around these two mercurial, narcissistic, morally defunct, brutally vindictive, habitually lying, with delusional self grandiose… characters, they sniffed each other from across the border and fell into this bromance which dazzled the political space briefly and exploded in our face scorching the landscape beyond recognition. One is a seasoned veteran of destruction and the other a rookie with training wheels…. that said, why are these people still in power and we keep promoting juniors who look and behave like them? …. that says a lot about us, doesn’t it? where is our story? I mean the people’s story? or they are our story? just saying.
