“YOU CAN’T TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS”
Isael Ze Etiel
The Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) is a long-standing organization that seems stuck in its ways and unwilling to learn from past mistakes. Despite the devastating consequences of its actions in the past, the TPLF continues to follow the same path, causing more conflict and suffering in the region.
Recent incidents, such as the TPLF militant group sparking conflict in Raya Alamata areas, and on June 3, 2024, TPLF forces carried out an attack in Adarkay district in North Gondar, have caused property damage. and loss of human life. The TPLF’s actions have not received the condemnation they deserve as they continue to attack civilians and cause further tensions in the region. The TPLF’s actions are clearly aimed at destabilizing the region and undermining the authority of the Ethiopian government. However, they are also likely to be counterproductive, as they will only serve to increase tensions and make it more difficult to achieve a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
The TPLF aggression has had a devastating impact on the civilian population of Amhara. According to UNOCHA report on displacement in North Wello and Wag Hamra areas, Amhara Region, April 3, 2024, the sudden escalation of hostilities in the city of Alamata and surrounding rural towns in northern Ethiopia Since April 13 and 14, it has displaced approximately 50,000 civilians. to Kobo town in the North Wollo area and to Sekota town in the Wag Hemra area of the Amhara region. Many live in desperate conditions without access to basic needs such as food, shelter and healthcare.
Failure to address underlying issues and engage in meaningful dialogue has only aggravated the situation, which could attract foreign forces into the conflict and cause even more damage. The federal government’s passive response suggests a lack of will to address the root causes of the conflict and seek peaceful solutions. Some observers believe that the government is deliberately allowing the conflict to continue to weaken the TPLF and its supporters in the Amhara region.
It’s time for TPLF. Learning from past mistakes and adopting new approaches is essential to avoid repeating the same catastrophic results. It is crucial to find a better and more peaceful way to address conflicts and prevent further suffering in the region. Only through a peaceful resolution will the people of these regions be able to rebuild their lives and achieve lasting peace.
Conclude that the TPLF’s aggression against Amhara is a serious violation of human rights and has caused immense suffering among innocent civilians. The international community must continue to condemn these atrocities and support efforts to end the conflict and hold those responsible accountable. Only a peaceful resolution can end the current humanitarian crisis and allow the Amhara people to rebuild their lives.
