Clear and Present Danger

 [Jonas Tameru-Oslo]          
 
                                It has been more than two years since Ethiopia announced its plans to construct the biggest hydro- electric dam in Africa, the Grand Renaissance Dam on the river Nile. This controversial project has from its initiation been a topic of debate among the three countries affected most by this project. Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia. Now however after the second year of construction came to an end, Ethiopia has commenced with the route diversion of the Nile in order to be able to begin the actual construction of the dam structure.

THE ELECTIONS by jonas tameru

 
 
 
As we all know the upcoming kebele & city elections are scheduled to be carried out in the coming month. This election is being carried out with the intention of giving the public a chance to elect its leaders at the lower level of administration. It is known that in Ethiopia most of the government policies and directives are implemented by these lower levels of administration like the sub city and the kebele offices. This kebele and sub city offices are a very important and critical part of the government’s administration because it is through these offices that the public gets service fromthe government. It is up to these lower level administrative offices to either serve the public honestly or corruptly and the whole structure of the ruling government is reflected by these offices. So in this sense the public judges and weighs its government based mostly on the quality of service it receives from these offices.

Ethiopia’s Muslim populace has over the past couple of months By Jonas Ta










Jonas tameru
 Muslim populace has over the past couple of months, been on the uprising with a long list of demands considered unacceptable by the EPRDF. A mess created by the government itself is now proving hard to clean up. In turn it has evoked a wave protests by the Muslim masses in the country.
The initial protests began before the death of the former Prime Minister MELES, who as usual responded to the question in a sarcastic manner, unfolding a wave of protests all over the country and even beyond.

It is an undeniable fact that internet tools like Facebook, twitter, YouTube and the like are playing a huge role in mobilizing the protests in Ethiopia, in the same way that they have been used in the various Arab countries that hosted an uprising. It is sad though that the majority of the population in Ethiopia is computer illiterate, and this includes the majority of the Muslim community. So the rapid spread of messages to Muslims all over the country about scheduled mass protests has been hindered by the above factor of computer illiteracy. Had it not been for that perhaps we would have seen a rapid uprising by the Ethiopian Muslim community all at once, giving the government a lot to panic about. But instead the Muslims depended on flyers that are handed out at mosques, as a mode of information exchange. This method couldn’t last long because it was simply infiltrated by the government agents.

"Thin line divides information, defamation". Daniel Berhane



When the Ethiopian parliament enacted the anti-terrorism law in mid-2009, many of its contents provoked a heated debate.
But little, if any, attention was given to the National Anti-Terrorism Coordination Committee established by the legislation, comprising the heads of the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), the Federal Police and the National Intelligence & Security Service, chaired by the Director of the latter. It has been four years and counting without a public statement or report from this committee; either because it is not functional or because it has chosen not to draw attention to itself.
In stark contrast, its offshoot – the Joint Anti-terror Taskforce of the National Intelligence & Security Service and the Federal Police – has turned into a media production unit.
The latest of its production, in collaboration with the state-owned broadcaster, was the documentary film produced in collaboration with ETV, and entitled "Jihadist Harekat".
The main thesis of the film can be hastily summarised as revolving around two related groups who had been working together towards an Islamic state by using terror and colour-revolution tactics.
The first group, named "Harekatul Shebable Mujehadin Fi Biladel Hijraitain", is a youth movement to establish an Islamic state in the area covering Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan, Kenya, and Uganda, and is said to be led by a man named Aman Assefa (Ismael Assefa). Aman allegedly received ideological training by Daru Bilal, an extremist group based in Nairobi, and military training by Al-Shabaab in Somalia.
The second group is led by Kamil Shemsu and Ahmed Mustefa, who were trained on colour-revolution tactics by the Qatari Jasim Sultan (PhD), and said to have tried to "hijack and divert the legal questions of the Muslim" by leading from behind the group of representatives of the Awolia Movement, the year-long weekly protests.
The film presents several eye-catching claims, connections and confessions, but fell short of showing a smoking gun. In fact, the repeated reference to ‘police files’ and ‘intelligence files’, without disclosing their contents, made it seem as if the Ethiopian Television (ETV) was merely playing a script written by the taskforce rather than a media report. Perhaps, ETV’s main contribution was the sensationalisation of the film through production techniques.
In their defence, perhaps, they could not share much more evidence publicly, as it would expose their informants and some may be obtained from foreign intelligence agencies. The intense denunciation of the protestors against prospective court witnesses has already forced the case to be tried in closed chambers, let alone being televised on national television.
Apparently, the taskforce and the ETV wanted to have their cake and eat it too. Thus, they wanted to present their version of the matter by compensating the gaps through sensationalisation.
As would be expected, this did not go well with the lawyer of the Awolia Movement representatives who are currently on trial on terror related charges. Despite the film’s half-hearted insertion of phrases like "suspects", the harm caused to their reputation is irreparable; as the legal presumption is that they are innocent until proven guilty. It cannot be rectified by a court’s ruling on their innocence, in a country where the masses regard state-media statements as superior even to the text of the law, let alone a faceless judge in a court.
The impact on the on-going trial is less certain, however. The judges will be presented with whatever is in the film in length and detail. The most compelling argument in this regard is that the judges would have difficulty in acquitting the accused in the face of overwhelming public consensus of their guilt created by the film. While this is generally true, its applicability to this particular case is doubtful.
To begin with, the judges have no illusion of the government’s position on the matter. If they can brave to decide regardless of that, public opinion will be less of a concern for them. 
Moreover, the public opinion that matters to them is that of their social class – the educated and the middle class. And, that class takes state media statements with a grain of doubt and perceives the Awolia Movement as a harmless one, mishandled by the government. The film, at best, might have made them think, "what if it is true?"
*Here "them" seems to be reffering to the judges while I was reffering to the social class
But these are issues for the judiciary to decide, no one else.
Indeed, on the day when the film was scheduled to be broadcasted, the High Court, upon the request of the lawyers, issued an injunction order against it and set a date to review it. However, ETV went ahead with its plan and broadcast it.
How that happened is not fully clear yet. Apparently, the Supreme Court reversed the injunction order a few hours after it was issued in the absence of the defendant’s lawyers, who are still disputing the procedure.
Given all these problems, one would ask what the government was intending to achieve with the film. The probable aim is to underline that it is not going to back down, thereby reassuring its allies.
That will also encourage its witnesses and informants, whom the film extolled as patriots. Needles to say, it sent a warning to those organising and backing the protests. This is in addition to the presumable eagerness of the taskforce to present its version of the story to the public, which it might think was not satisfactorily informed by ETV.
But all these could have been achieved through various, albeit time taking, means other than a sensational controversial film. Even where the latter is necessary, there is no convincing reason for not giving the court a chance to review it and apply exertions, if need be. That should not worry much a broadcaster who is so resourceful to have an injunction order reversed in a few hours.
*I think the proper verb would be – "is" not "was"
It is debatable whether the film precluded an impartial trial, but the controversy surrounding it indeed harmed the judiciary’s stature. Apparently, neither worried the co-producers of the film much.

Ethnic based EPRDF never had any plan to establish a democratic government



By Jonas Tameru
It is evident that Meles’s EPRDF never had any plan to establish a democratic government in Ethiopia. While showing authoritarian tendencies from the beginning of his rule, Meles’s government initially adhered to a range of democratic standards. As the years passed, his leadership style became increasingly iron-fisted. Ethiopia’s designation in Freedom House’s Freedom in the World report declined from Partly Free to Not Free for events in 2010, as the government grew more hostile toward political opponents, media critics, and civil society activists. The country was also designated Not Free in parallel reports on press freedom and internet freedom. Freedom in the World registered a further decline for Ethiopia the following year, citing the misuse of antiterrorism laws to punish opposition activists and journalists. Given Ethiopia’s tragic and bloody political history—first under Emperor Haile Selassie, then under Mengistu—Meles’s refusal to institute governance norms based on democracy and human rights principles is an important and thoroughly unhappy part of his legacy.
Ethiopia’s authoritarian government showed no sign of loosening its grip on power in 2011, using an antiterrorism law to target opponents of the ruling party. More than 100 political activists and journalists were detained, often for several months, before being charged with vaguely defined terrorism offenses. In a country where freedom is uncertain to its citizens, it makes it almost impossible to fight for democracy!!!!

በሌላ ዜና በዚሁ ስትራቴጂ ሰነድ ላይ በተሰጠው ማብራሪያ በኢትዮጵያ ከእያንዳንዱ መቶ ህዝብ 7 ነጥብ 7 በመቶ የሚሆነው በየዓመቱ ራሱን ያጠፋል። 3 ነጥብ 2 በመቶ የሚሆነው ደግሞ ራሱን የማጥፋት ሙከራ (Suicide attempt) የሚያደርግ ነው።
በኢትዮጵያ 80 ሚሊዮን በላይ ህዝብ ቢኖርም የአዕምሮ ህክምናው ተለይቶ አገልግሎት እየሰጠ ያለው አማኑኤል ሆስፒታል ብቻ ነው። በቅርቡም ይጠናቀቃል ተብሎ የሚጠበቀው የኰተቤ ሆስፒታልም ተመሳሳይ አገልግሎት ይሰጣል ተብሎ ይጠበቃል። በኢትዮጵያ ከአልኰል፣ አደንዛዥ ዕጾችን አጠቃቀምና ከበርካታ ውስብስብ ጉዳዮች ጋር በተያያዘ በርካታ ቁጥር ያላቸው ዜጐች ለአዕምሮ ጤንነት መጓደል የሚጋለጡ መሆኑን ይሄው ስትራቴጂክ ሠነድ ያመለክታል። በኤች አይ ኤድስ በሽታ የተጠቁ በርካታ ኢትዮጵያውያንም ለአዕምሮ ህመም ተጋላጭነታቸው ከፍ ብሎ የተገኘ መሆኑን የገለፀው ይሄው ሠነድ፤ ይህም በዋነኝነት ከጭንቀት ጋር የተያያዘ እንደሆነ መረጃው ያትታል። የፀረ ኤች አይ መድሐኒቱን ከሚወስዱት ዜጐች መካከልም 38 በመቶ የሚሆኑት በከፍተኛ ድብርት እንደሚሰቃዩ የተደረገው ክትትል ያመለክታል ብሏል።
