Ethiopia: The Unfair Trial of Muslim Leaders

Why It Undermines Counter-terrorism in Ethiopia

by Abadir M. Ibrahim | Addis Standard (Addis Ababa)
Something was awry at a hearing of the High Court of Ethiopia on July 6, 2015. As the much anticipated conviction of Muslim civil society leaders (Abubaker Ahmed and 17 others) was underway, it was clear that this was no ordinary trial.

Security was beefed up, the public gallery was crowded and the atmosphere was tense. A significant amount of time was spent with the court presenting a detailed defense of the government’s policies on counterterrorism and Muslim-state relations.

More than 40 members of Ethiopian Air Force fled the country

(TesfaNews) Sources closer to the Washington based Ethiopian Satellite Television (ESAT) today reported that a number of staff members from the Debre Zeyit Air force headquarters along with 14 aircraft technicians and unspecified number of pilots didn’t show for work in the past one month.

The technicians were from the transport and tactical helicopter squadron unit, SU27 fighter jets units and Antonov 12 transporter units.
The search by the security organs to hunt down these fugitives was not successful. The sources believe they are already out of the country and more likely joined the opposition forces.

We, the people of Ethiopia have been essentially fighting against the ethnic apartheid policy of the TPLF/EPRDF and injustices of the regime by separating into disjointed, divided, alienated and non-cohesive “self-interest groups.”
In Ethiopia of the TPLF/EPRDF we have become people separated by ethnicity, region, village and clan. If this is not enough, we are also sub-divided by political view, language, religion and skin color.
