The first post-victory address of Dr. Debrestion Gebremichael, President of Tigray
At the moment, it is probably not appropriate to talk about the atrocities again. But since we have paid the price, we shall remember what the inhumane brutes have done. They collectively ventured and tried everything in their power to exterminate the people of Tigray. They have committed unimaginable crimes and we will not forget. We will hold those responsible, all the sources of injustice and brutality, accountable.Those of you who were in the midst of our enemies, those who have suffered at the hand of our enemies, your struggle and perseverance, above all, was the source of our strength. In the end, we are here because of you. Because of you, Tigray prevailed.
It is not just in our history; we have now done the impossible. We are glad and proud that those who wrote history are ours. Time and again, the people of Tigray amaze us; we are in awe. We are lucky and proud that we hail from the people of Tigray. Our history and pride attest that the people of Tigray are principled and that we are ready to fight until the last breath. Over the previous eight months, enduring the inhuman savagery, our people, in cities, rural areas, and the diaspora, fought as one.
We know the savagery and injustice will go past the last eight months. Our enemies have tried to exterminate us in a short period; they have done everything in their power. We must remember the past atrocities, if only not to be beaten and slaughtered again. There are many things that we need to do. From now on, the people of Tigray will not disarm. In addition to the power of arms, we need law, order, politics, and diplomacy. However, as we stress over and over again, we get here because of our force of arms. We won because of our force of arms. We shall continue working on our deficiencies and rely on ourselves. We know the force of arms is not everything. However, we have also witnessed that without the force of arms, we are nothing.
We prevailed because of our people, because of our youth, because we worked together. Had we not done enough from inside and out, no one would have routed the invaders. They came with their families to live on our land. They were telling us that we needed their and Asmara’s permission even to think. They were here to subjugate the people of Tigray. However, the people of Tigray are unique. Let alone these enemies; we have not bowed down to others even more powerful. The people of Tigray have a glorious history.
Those who were around us conspired and did everything to beat us into submission and subjugate us. We shall remember their heinous crimes because we should not let them repeat them. They have to know that there is unfinished business. Because of our struggle, Tigray is out of hell. We will continue with the force of arms along with rule and order. When the latter is not possible, we have to be ready to fight. If we want respect, it has to come from our power, and it is our power that will earn us respect. We have to do what we must.
Operation Ras Alula in Tembien is a unique tale. When we designed it, it was meant to clear those who were there and do what we can by getting closer to you. It was meant to move us closer to our people incrementally. But since the belligerent invaders wanted to finish us off, encircle and decimate us, they brought their whole force. Tigray Defence Forces were nearby, the people of Tigray were nearby. The people set the deadline; they said it should not go past June. Our roadmap was that of the people. We said let’s fulfil the wishes of the people. The Tigray populace said we should put a hold on everything else including family-related priorities, and destroy our enemy before the start of the rainy season in June.
The people of Tigray are awe-inspiring. The people of Tigray were the strategists, the architects, and the owners of the victory without involving any other strategist or researcher. What the Tigray Defense Forces performed is what the people of Tigray have designed and the defense was performed together with the people.
We have reached this point because of the people of Tigray and we will continue working together to accomplish unfulfilled goals. The invaders are full of pretence and are claiming they have declared a ceasefire and vacated Tigray because they wanted the farmers to toil their land. They are full of mockery. Nothing is off limit to them. The truth is, they conducted a bloody war and did everything at their disposal to crush Tigray, and after their defeat, they were confused and disoriented and ran away with their tail between their legs.
This being the truth, they have the audacity to say that they left to enable farmers in Tigray to sow seeds and tend their farms. What we should all understand is, our achievements are evidently clear to everyone including our adversaries. They didn’t have the intention of running away with their tail between their legs, their dream was to crush us and to make us kneel.
We also know the intention of our neighbour Isaias, his intention was to stay in Tigray unimpeded and rule Tigray. Isaias was watching the offensive [Operation Alula Aba Nega] from afar, he preferred to watch from a distance, fearing that his forces would be hit. Then he realized that Tigray will use its might to pursue him and he retreated.
Now they are saying “we have accomplished our mission and we are retreating because we completed our goal”. The truth is they fled when they were defeated by the people of Tigray. They were routed from Tigray and they didn’t leave for the sake of the farmers. They are still making preparations in our vicinity. They are now saying that “we realized we can’t stay any longer in Tigray, and we don’t have public support, but there are things that we can do.” Tigray has won, but If they don’t capitulate and if we don’t fully defeat them, they will never leave us alone.
Tigray has prevailed but we must make her (Tigray) prevail even more. They are saying they will regroup; they will not leave us alone. We must know that there is further preparation all around us. Though our victory is miraculous, huge, unique, unthinkable; we have to know that it is not complete and must complete it. We can’t afford to give them another chance to torture, kill, subjugate and to violate, and rape women. They shouldn’t be given a second opportunity at all. Tigray will not be slaughtered and mistreated again. We will continue to proceed with determination as we have just begun to do so. We have not said we will slaughter or demean other people. We have only demanded our rights to be respected. We want to develop and break the cycle of poverty and they are hindering us from realizing this; we will, therefore, ensure that they will not return.
Our victory is massive and needs to be celebrated as it is an astonishing one. It is astounding to everyone and to be honest it also amazes me. What kind of people do we have? Were we really born out of this nation? We will talk about it when we have time to talk about what we have experienced wherever we went. The people of Tigray are always new to me.
The women, the elderly, the children; wherever we have been, everyone showed us support and it kept us from getting discouraged. History was made wherever we went, Not just for the sake of our commitment or our people but for the sake of the children and those who have entrusted us. An unbelievable history was made which astonished even those of us who are seasoned fighters (tegadelit). Why do these people seem so new to us? We were born and fought in this community, and later we administered it; and yet it feels like we are coming to know the people anew. This is a historic nation that has made history and will continue to do so. Any force determined to hinder and block our journey will not exist.
We will not be humiliated and live with injustice. Those who wronged us will be held accountable. It is not just in words, we have to make sure that they are held accountable. We will not sleep until it is done. This is not about settling scores. If we are to live in peace we have to correct the injustice. We should not let our killers live free.
It was not our wish for the youth to be in this situation, the people of Tigray have sacrificed a lot already. It was not our wish nor intention to drag you into this war. Alas, there was nothing that we could have done. They told us “we will do anything by force” and assume kingship by exterminating us. The situation could have been resolved politically and through dialogue. All we said was ‘let us focus on our development, let us continue what we have started.” We said, “let’s prosper together, earn the respect of others, and share what we have”. That was our focus but they had other plans and wanted to subjugate us. Thus, we must rely on ourselves and our strength. We also know we have to rely on rules and order.
We are not anti-Amhara or anti-Eritrea, we don’t have any problem with any people. All we are saying is let’s live together and respect each other. However, there are few who would not let us live in peace be it in Amhara, Addis Ababa, or Eritrea and we shall continue our struggle with them.
We don’t want to instigate anyone. But for the sake of Tigray, because Tigray has to be peaceful because Tigray has to prosper because the safety and security of Tigray have to be maintained, we will do everything possible and it is only for that reason that we need our force of arms.
Because of our history and heroic acts, because of our principle, in addition to the youth and new generation who have taken up our fathers and forefathers’ mantle, we have accomplished the impossible. We are awestruck by your courage and loyalty. Our hope for this generation was to pursue science and technology, not armed struggle.
Alas, we were forced to go to war. However, we have seen our true character because of the war. What we have created will be of help in other ways. Tigray will change and develop because of you. Unlike what our enemies had for us. We will not go back 100 years, rather we will leapfrog 100 years. Tigrayans will not go backward because our enemies destroyed our houses and factories. Within a short period of time, we will rebuild and transform. We are not made only for battles.
The people have decimated all the invading divisions built over 30/40 years, including soldiers from other countries within seven/eight months of preparation. We did it alone, inside and out. We will win on every front. We did not want the war, but they have started it and we will finish it. We have to know that we have to finish this. We will, with our force of arm and determination, decide our fate. We will do everything in our power.
Again, I would like to say congratulations. I am glad we have met again. We are here because of you. Tigray has prevailed and will continue to reach new heights.

Thousands of Ethiopian soldiers captured by Tigray Defence Forces(TDF) guerrillas during Operation Alula.
Were matched in Mekelle City , to a large crowd, that took to the streets of Mekelle to watch the prisoners of war & rejoiced at the Tigray Defence Forces (TDF) recent defeat, of Ethiopia ‘s army one of most powerful forces in Africa.https://ethiopia.us.com/
The Tekeze Bridge along the B30 highway has been partially destroyed, likely by Amhara Militia as they left Tigray.
Luckily, it’s just one section which has been blown up. However, without engineering equipment it is likely that this bridge will remain out of action for many months at a minimum.Would be interested to know if bridges further south were also blown. Very common in wars to blow up bridges to delay an enemy and deny motor crossings. TDF may not have any barges, so this may put a dent in any plans to take the fight to Amhara as was threatened earlier.https://ethiopia.us.com/
An airstrike hit a busy market in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray village of Togoga on Tuesday and killed at least 51 people.
Soldiers blocked medical teams from traveling to the scene.Injured people receiving IV fluids hanging from acacia trees. When the first health workers reaching Togoga heard the school where they were treating the injured was targeted for aerial strike, they moved them to a nearby forest & spent the night treating them there.https://ethiopia.us.com/
Despite what Tigray-hating Ethiopians and Amhara elites want, life shall never stop in Tigray. Life shall continue. Tigrayans will free the whole of Tigray from haters.

The election of justice and participation cannot bring democracy.
Regarding the current political situation of Ethiopia the federal Congress of Oromo (KFO) has been given
Our party of Federal Congress of Oromo (KFO) for the past three years has been advising us to have a successful democracy transition in our country without any effort, everyone has been advising. And we have announced that the election that is not supported by the national negotiation can’t be removed from the country. Especially the body on tayita and the superiority of one party, we were asking for a question to be a fake / profitable discussion, it is transferring to another country’s success. Political theatre is also the result of this skin’s stand.
It is possible to hear that the election of KFO has been postponed and the whole of Ethiopia is not representing Ethiopia, except to check our doubt, it is possible to hear the complaints of the parties participating in your election. The election process agrees, because it doesn’t concern people’s feelings, if it is deeply looked at, the voter s’ interest is still on the table. According to the electoral board, 79 election stations have been found outside the board. In hundreds of votes counted in elections, the election has never been held. In Oromia, hundreds of districts, the party in tita has competed with itself to decorate the drama. There is no election in Tigray because of war. In total of 100 out of 100 hands, fifty can be said out of the election. It doesn’t need to be a party person to predict the impact of this outbreak.
As you understand us our opponents, pushing your choice is different from Oromo Liberation Front (ABO) and Federal Congress (KFO) didn’t benefit anyone. All of them, the change that was found three years ago by the blood of Oromo, because the parties they supported are out of the election, the history of Oromo freedom struggle is one big point, and it is clear language We think ‘betrayal is second round’ for us. If election cannot be full of interest in the country, it means: it cannot bring peace and stability and unity to all democratic Ethiopia, it cannot bring prosperity.
So, by our side we provide the solution to all political parties in our country:
1. It will continue to be founded as soon as possible to participate in the establishment of the government’s reforms.
2. The national agreement is to start immediately.
3. This Wollo government is to organize the Wollo (Common Road-Map) conditions, within one year, free, fair and acceptable elections.
At the end of this critical time, we invite all Ethiopian citizens to stand with peace and change of democracy.The federal congress of Oromo

We condemn the torture of the government of Saudi Arabia that is imprisoned in the country by ABO and KFO
A press release given from ABO and KFO
June, 21, 2021
We have seen a lot of Oromo Liberation Front (ABO) and Congress of Oromo Federalists (KFO) in the prison of Saudi Arabia. Oromo refugees have migrated from human rights and political and economic development in Ethiopia and migrated from their country. This human rights violations including the killing of peaceful people has reached a higher level now. The base of Tumale immigrants and immigrants should be held responsible for the human rights of the world, to save their lives from their country and to their country.
The information that was found in Saudi Arabia prison is being done for human being who are hurting Oromo refugees. If these refugees live in a very troubling house, most of them have been banned from 200 in one stressful room. If these refugees in prison are banned from children, pregnant women, elderly people and people with various illnesses in themselves, these people are mostly prevented from suffering. Immigrants currently in Saudi Arabia prison are not getting the basic ingredients for human life such as water, food, clean weapons and treatment. Two (2) refugees have died because of the information received from us due to the injuries in this prison. Because of the detention of the Oromia refugees who are found in these prisons, we are worried that they can be exposed to the disease of COVID-19
We OLF and KFO wish strength for the families of these refugees who died in prison. We condemn the bad action that the government of Saudi Arabia took against these refugees. This is why human rights organizations concern: immigrants, children, international health organizations and individuals concern them, the government of Saudi Arabia, immigrants, immigrants and human rights organizations.
Oromia regional government officials and Ambassadors and diplomats of Saudi Arabia and its citizens are suffering in foreign prison, we want to inform the Oromo people and Ethiopian people not to do anything. The Ethiopian government is known that it will happen because of the problem of the migrants. But at least for these immigrants to protect their human rights. However, Ethiopian government officials haven’t spoken anything about the killing and torturing of Oromo people in Saudi Arabia. Especially the Ethiopian Ambassador in Saudi Arabia is responsible to protect Ethiopian immigrants found in that country.
It is known that most refugees are against Ethiopian government. This is why Ethiopian government chose to keep quiet knowing what is happening to oromo refugees.
This is what is happening in the current political empire of Ethiopia crossing the boundaries of life and the lives of the people of Oromo, and the people of oppressed Ethiopia. The current political problem in Ethiopia is not only the immigrants found in Saudi Arabia but also the immigrants found.
This is the solution to organize the internal and external forces, the struggle of freedom and democracy is to remove the suffering of the century.
This is why the government of Saudi Arabia is not allowed to make sure that the Oromo refugees are free from any torture. Also, the Saudi Arabia government should ensure that immigrants are free from food, water, medicine and air attack on police and security. … In addition, the government of Saudi Arabia should pay attention to the displaced people in prison such as mado, pregnant women, children, elderly people and injured bodies.
So, social parties, religious organizations, professionals, groups who are suffering from human rights and activists including Oromo refugees in Saudi Arabia. We are advising those who are exposed.
At last, there has been a few years of harm and suffering here in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. And this is against Tumale and other laws related to the international human rights and laws. This is why the UNHCR and UNHRC government of Saud-Arabia are encouraging Oromo immigrants to serve the international refugees and human rights officials.

Ethiopia, Djibouti to scale up Military cooperation to a high gear. The two sides have called for the need to create more favourable platforms and mechanisms to share information, expertise as well as pursue joint trainings.
This comes after Egypt signed with Djibouti, bilateral military cooperation. In other words, the Ethiopian regime has failed to use soft diplomacy, and has gone for Kamikaze(hard) diplomacy. What the Ethiopian regime has not worked out, is the strategic location of Djibouti in terms of western interests.
Any military cooperation with Djibouti, without the consent of France, USA, etc, is null and void.However, Dictator Abiy Ahmed Ali, loves fantasies and self importance.
