Addis Ababa (HAN) 3 November 2020 Global Security and regional security watch Opinion Sent to Geeska Africa Online.Parliament proposes labeling TPLF, others as terrorist organizations, calls the executive to brief house members on current affairs.
On the regular session held today, members of the House of Peoples’ Representatives have called on organizations such as the TPLF and Shene, which have been implicated in the killings of innocent civilians in the West Wellega zone, to be classified as terrorists.

The House of Peoples’ Representatives proposed that priority should be given to discussions on the recent killings of innocent people before the regular agenda. The Speaker of the House, Tagesse Chafo, said the council had already prepared its agenda and that a decision had been made to consult with the executive to brief house members on the issue and to ensure decisive measure against TPLF and other groups who the government is accusing to be behind recent killings of civilians in West Wellega zone.

We do not negotiate with terrorists’ – but why?​

For decades, politicians in the US and the UK have regularly stated that ‘we do not negotiate with terrorists’, arguing that it is both morally indefensible and impractical – likely to encourage more terrorism and legitimize terrorist aims.

However, other Western governments have negotiated with terrorist groups. In 2014, countries including France and Spain were reported to have paid millions of euros in ransom to bring home journalists and aid workers captured by Islamic State (ISIS) in Syria.

It is important to note that the definition of ‘terrorist’ is not always clear in this context. The FBI has, for instance, allowed private companies to negotiate the release of hostages taken by certain Mexican drug cartels, as they are not designated terrorist groups – even though they undoubtedly terrorize local communities.

Designations also change over time: FARC and the ELN in Colombia were only classified as terrorist groups after 9/11.

Equally, both the US and the UK can be said to have negotiated with designated terrorist groups when hostages were not directly involved.

Tigrayans lost the war to control Ethiopia, but they still control the vast majority of their region.

And they'll continue to do so. Abiy might but be able to take Tigray, but they're no longer a real threat to Ethiopia. It's also a barren and unproductive region of Ethiopia post-war. The status quo is preferable to allowing the TPLF to return to mainstream politics. I don't see Abiy settling for anything less than a dismantlement of the TPLF and installing a rebranded regional PP, as is EPRDF tradition. All they've been able to do is terrorize Afar who are irrelevant in mainstream Ethiopian politics. They'll be forgotten about just like the Somalis until they start consuming themselves and lose purpose.
