SOCEPP-CAN

The report covers the period from 3 November 2020, when the armed conflict began between the Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF), the Eritrean Defence Force (EDF), the Amhara Special Forces (ASF), the Amhara militia, and Fano on one side, and the Tigrayan Special Forces (TSF), Tigrayan militia and other allied groups on the other, until 28 June 2021 when the Ethiopian Government declared a unilateral ceasefire.  (Read More)

The TPLF forces from Tigray, in Northern Ethiopia, have now advanced deep into southern Welllo, Amhara region and are waging a hand-to-hand battle in Desie and Kombelcha to take over the cities. It is to be remembered that the TPLF has time and again threatened the Amhara population stating that it has “issues to settle “with the Amhara people. Clearly, the massacre in MAYKADRA, CHIFRA, KOBO as well as a number of massacres and targeted displacement of the Amhara and Afra people while TPLF was in full control of Ethiopia from 1991- 2018 heightens the concern about the now advancing TPLF forces and what they may do to the Amhar and Afar people in Ethiopia. SOCEPP Canada is deeply concerned about a possible forced displacement and Genocide by the TPLF forces. . We urge the international community to be fully aware of this serious concern and put TPLF and its leadership on notice against any such inhuman and degrading treatment of the Amhara and Afar people including any crime against humanity and Genocide activity. We ask the international community and all genocide watch groups to pay attention to this alert.

OBITUARY

SOLOMON WORKNEH

It is  with great sadness that we announce the sudden death of SOLOMON WORKNEH,  a long standing board member of SOCEPP Canada on October 10, 2021  . Solomon was a dedicated human Right Advocate who struggled for respect of Human and Democratic Rights and the end of tyranny in Ethiopian.    Solomon was key in bringing the suffering of the Ethiopian people to the attention of parliamentarians as well as other Canadian citizens. We at SOCEPP Canada are immensely proud to have worked with a person of Solomon’s dedication and caliber. We will honor his legacy by continuing to dedicate ourselves to the very ideas of respect for Human and Democratic Rights in Ethiopia.

“…Surprisingly, most other African UN staff also tended to share this view of bias predominantly among staff of aid agencies who are of western/European origins. They would tell you that WHO, OCHA, WFP and IOM staff come from their respective headquarters with preconceived ideas of the crisis that are not often in sync with the reality on the ground. However, these Ethiopian and African staff are afraid to go in the open to make such a statement, and even worse, to present evidence to that effect for fear of reprisals. Nobody wants to lose a UN job!…” (Read More)

“Many in the West quickly lined up against the Ethiopian government in its conflict with the Tigray People’s Liberation Front. But reports of the exploitation of children, in addition to other atrocities by the TPLF, should cause Canada to reassess its dispassionate position and take a stand, write Ann Fitz-Gerald and Hugh Segal.” (Read More)
