Advisor to Ethiopian PM Abiy Ahmed, Redwan Hussien, on Sunday said the International Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia is a political too.

It was the was the UN Human rights council resolution S-33/1 that established the body in December 2021 with a claim to investigate Human rights violations in the Tigray region of Ethiopia after the Ethiopian government responded to the TPLF forces military attack on the Defense Force. 

Redwan Hussies sees it as a tool for achieving political goals.  

The commission is “controversial, self-righteous and one with a political motive since its inception,” that is how Mr. Redwan described it, as indicated in the state media report. 

He went on to accuse the commission of having the intent to impose its will on Ethiopia by force. 

As the TPLF forces are losing militarily, Ethiopia is once again facing pressure from the “international community.” 

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ethiopia has issued a statement, on September 9, against commission. 

It said “The Commission has weaponized human rights for political pressure and exposed its true intentions, foreclosing all doors of cooperation with the Government.” 

The  United Nations Security Council is expected to look into the situation in Ethiopia when it is meeting this Monday. 

State actors like the United States, with its colossal influence over multilateral institutions, are once again activating sanction regimes on Ethiopia including sanctions on Ethiopian officials. 

United States’ Special Envoy to the Horn of Africa, Mike Hammer, has been in Ethiopia for several days now hoping to push the Ethiopian government officials to stop the war against the TPLF forces – who started war in August this year for the third time in three years.  

On the Day of September 11 (Ethiopian New Year), he tweeted that he is watching a National Football League game from Addis Ababa  – something that triggered a reaction from activists. 

The TPLF forces are said to be militarily weakened and have lost much of the fortified trench positions they used to have in the Amhara and Afar regions of Ethiopia.

Earlier this week, the Ethiopian government came bold in asserting state power in the Tigray when it said that every inch of land in Tigray belongs to Ethiopians and every part of the rest of Ethiopia belongs to Tigreans too. It is a rejection of a de facto state like an authority in the Tigray region. 

There seems to be a determination that the Tigray region should not continue to be hostage to the TPLF forces – which the Ethiopian Parliament designated as terrorist.

On the other hand, the United States and its allies seem to be grooming the TPLF along the path of creating an independent state that could serve the interest of western powers. 

The latest development in the war is that the TPLF has issued an official statement announcing its interest to participate in the AU-led peace talk. It is to be recalled that it rejected the idea immediately before it launched its third round of war against Ethiopian forces.

  1. There were many who doubted the impartiality of the commission from the outset. It was rumored that the TPLF representative in the UN Dr. Adhanom has good connections with one of them and had consultation prior to their trip to Ethiopia. Their mission has been clear as one concludes from their report. That is to offer excuses for western intervention and rescuing of the TPLF.

    Humble Commentary, 12 Sept 2022
    It is very sad to say that the UN, EU and USA DO NOT see the ONENESS of Ethiopia. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER.
    One, thus, goes to the conclusion that a TOOL must be found to disintegrate an ancient country like Ethiopia using part of Ethiopia to be the inherent enemy of Ethiopia. They never know that they are being used!!!!!!!
    NOTE: In the process, the “TOOL” becomes dull and ineffective, ready to be thrown to the garbage TRAGEDY.

    The above is how BLACK INNOCENT AFRICAN RACE has been, and will always be, treated by Colonial Forces i.e. Black Africans killing each other for the benefit of their COLONIZERS. What is taking place in Ethiopia is PERFECT EXAMPLE of the treacherous white man, when it comes to black race. IT WILL NEVER CHANGE. THE END

  3. The mediocre played by the West is very clear. People have given clear sign of disgust at those two TPLF and OLF Tigrea and Oromo ethnocentric ruthless barbaric groups. The Oromo OLF Dominated ruthless regime previously has been condemned a Terrorist Group and every one of its members were hunted down by TPLF from Somalia, Kenya, Sudan and thrown in jail to rot for 27 years. During that time OLF had no courage to throw a single stone at TPLF.

    Abiy Ahmed and Oromo dominated Prosperity Party now have returned vengeance by attacking and condemning TPLF a Terrorist Group. (Actually this is the second time TPLF again is condemned a Terrorist Group besides while it was still in Dedebit cage).

    Those two ethnocentric savages were friends before but now are enemies of each other and at war with each other over power and collecting loots. Their cursed evil alliance is now permanently broken costing innocent lives that had nothing to do with their fight over power and loot, damaging innocent Amhara and Afar people lives and economies.

    The UN and West without any regard for Democratic values for the people and history of Ethiopia are talking with those two Terrorist Group even by taking side for the notorious Oil tank and UN Truck thieves, TPLF that got thrown out of power for its ironfisted ruthless ways of controlling power.

    What Ethiopians want now is Totally new and Totally Different People in the Government with absolutely zero trace of TPLF and OLF/Prosperity Party Criminals.

    Ethiopian are fed up with those ethnocentric murderous groups that are spilling innocent people blood.

    They are Saying Enough with the ethnocentric ignorant masquerading as a Premier that is holding power to Murder Amharas without having the quality and qualification !!!

    No more dying, suffering, division, corruptions, land theft, Genocide, misery!!! Let Amhara, Gedio, Dorze, Afar, Gurage, Somali, Wolayita, , Gambella etc.. live in peace!!!

  4. UN ,should respact Ethiopia’s right to be alive as a sovereign and territorial integrated .
    Since Ethiopia is the memeber of UN , it must oopposes violence which carried out by Tplf terrorist group against the member state Ethiopia

  5. Amhara must chose their won representative and no one from the so called Amhara Prosperty Party that Abiy has twisted their mind and hands.
    Bafoon Abiy Ahmed is ignorant ethnocentric that is also the enemy of Amhara and Ethiopia
    Abiy Ahmed only represents and cares for OLF/Shene/OLA/Prosperity Party.

    Just in ONE DAY, Over 2000 Amahras indiscriminately got Slaughtered as they slept in Wellga, Oromia Zone, yet Baboon Abiy Ahmed has not caught a single Oromo Genocide Criminal.

    But he is abducting and imprisoning innocent Amhara journalists who reported the truth!!! Without due process, evidence, proof or enough reason Amharas are targeted for harassment, mistreatment and abuse by the Baboon Abiy Ahmed masquerading as the Primer.

    Police are abducting and kidnapping Amhara Journalist, activist, and any Amhara without warrants and reasons from wherever they found them.

    The intimidation and harassment will not keep Amharas quit or stop them from fighting for their privileges and freedom. In fact this ill treatment, mistreatment and abuse has confirmed how much Buffoon Abiy Ahmed hates Amharas and does not want them to have same privileges and live peacefully with their families in the neighborhood they grew up. Amharas are no more naïve of OLF and TPLF demonic plots no matter how many Amhara Journalist Buffoon Abiy Ahmed abducts, jailed or abuses.

    • እንደምናችሁ!

      Dishonesty and vile propaganda only hurts the millions of Amaras living in other zones. More Amaras live outside the Amhara Zone and over 15 million of them in the Oromo Zone [ክርስትያን ታደለ (2019): youtu.be/0HjNFtaav14?t=2318 ]. Yet, I have never met any Oromo in Gojjam & Gonder during my several trips there.

      Your dishonesty is disgusting! Your portrayal of Abiy as an anti-Amara TPLF/OLF/OLA is repulsive! Wasn’t Abiy their first assassination target? Aren’t his mom and his wife Amaras & Christians? Didn’t he fight them at the Gashena & Affar fronts?

      Aren’t Demeqe, Dagmawit, Yilikal, etc. Amara enough? The Amaras benefited the most under Abiy: Over 450 km of asphalt roads in Gojjam alone; received over 450 tractors plus other farm machinery; mechanized farms; industrial parks; factories; schools; etc.

      Journalists & Journalism: Journalism is compiling & reporting facts! It is not Ethnic Activism! It is not Inter-Ethnic Animosity Spewing Platform! It is not wearing the Amara/Ethiopia/Rights Activist hat and getting Amara/Ethiopia stabbed in the back.

      Q: Why did 10 American Embassy personnel fly to Bahir-Dar for አ.ብ.ን.’s launching? Why didn’t they go for the launching ceremony of the other political parties?

      • Does your honesty knows the truth? Does it speak or care for the 2000 Slaughtered Amharas (just in ONE DAY) in Wellega, Zone? How about the daily Amhara Slaughter Oromia Zone ritual?

        Those of us who know many people in Oromia Zone and have ways to find out where exactly Amhara Genocide has been committed. When those people we know for years no linger exist, what does it mean? It means Abiy’s invisible hand aka Shene has cannibalized them. AKA Amhara Genoside!!

        Such old foolish TPLF and OLF stale talks and false accusations against the selfless Amhara have been documented in history books. Do not waste your time because No one is listening and Abiy is wasting money on you.

        TPLF condemned OLF as a Terrorist Group while in power and Now the Oromumma Abiy Ahmed is vindicated by condemning TPLF a Terrorist Group.

        At the end of the day two Terrorist Groups fighting with each other over power and loot by targeting theri proxy war against Amhara people and Amhara Zone. That caused massive lose of Amahra, Afar, Tigre and the Defense Force lives and resources while those thugs are holding power and enjoying luxurious lives with their children and families all at the expense of Ethiopians.

        • እንደምናችሁ!

          Apparently, you are the one paid for such non-stop vile propaganda 24/7/365! Abiy is a millionaire [Nobel Prize] and he loses NOTHING if quits this very minute. He won’t miss your insults! Imagine a world full of Insults like you if people like me don’t step in!

          Abiy kept Ethiopia afloat despite your FASCISM: youtu.be/Pg3WuF1eXww?t=5
          You are just furious because Abiy REFUSED TO SELL ETHIOPIA to the White Supremacist West [WSW] & its DOG [EGYPT]. Reread my response to you above.

          Well, there are many like you who wear the Amhara/Oromo/Ethiopia/etc. Activist Hats and stab Amhara/Oromo/Ethiopia/etc. in the back for small change from WSW & Egypt. Abiy doesn’t need me! Some like me are driven by CONSCIENCE, not mone$$$$!

          Q1: Why do you ALWAYS leave out TPLF’s Amhara Massacre MayKadra? Why don’t you ever mention the thousands of Oromos murdered by the OLF-OLA right in Wollega?

          Q2: Why did 10 American Embassy personnel fly to Bahir-Dar for አ.ብ.ን.’s launching ceremony? Why didn’t they go for the launching ceremony of ALL other political parties?

  6. እንደምናችሁ! መልካም አዲስ አመት!

    No Mercy: The White Supremacist West [WSW] and its World-Wide-Arms [UN, WB, IMF, etc.] declared a Proxy War on Ethiopia long ago via their Loyal Proxy Dogs: Egypt, TPLF, OLF/OLA, etc. Hunt down their Proxy Dogs & flush them out without mercy!

    Contain-Target-Degrade-Destroy: KEEP the WSW’s Proxy Dogs in their Cages [Tigray, Wollega, etc]. Then, target/hit their capacities [finance, military, etc.] & break their spines. For the finale, degrade their networks piece-by-piece & destroy their sleeper cells!

    NO Expectations, NO Disappointments: Ethiopia should NEVER count on the WSW for its existence. Isn’t the WSW the birth place of the Black Lives Matter Movement? If the WSW ever cared about Blacks, why would the Black Race flood the WSW’s streets?

    PS: Abiy & Co. are doing such an excellent job at breaking the spines of the WSW’s Proxy Dogs that the WSW’s Digital Dogs are CRYING Orroommuummaa like never before: Amharas benefitted over 450km asphalt roads, 450 tractors, etc under Abiy & Co.
