BBC Anti-government alliance formed in Ethiopia 5 Nov 2021 By Catherine Byaruhanga

 これはこれで何らかの進展ではあろう。
 この連合に対して、「そんなの機能するはずないねえ」というコメントを出すのは、敵対側(政府側)としてはまあ、そりゃそうだろう。

BBC Ethiopian rebel alliance is 'impotent' - government 6 Nov 2021 By Mary Harper

The Ethiopian authorities have described as "impotent" an alliance of nine anti-government groups formed to fight federal forces and their allies.

"We are not surprised," said government spokesman Kebede Desissa. He claimed the new coalition had no support and was the "weakest political force" in the country.

"These rebel groups are baseless. They have no social bases - and they have been there for the past 40 years or so without having the capacity to change anything."


 ここ40年ほど何もなしえてませんし、基地や基盤となる地域とかどうするんです―というのはご尤も。

Mr Kebede added that he regarded current events as "normal Ethiopian politics", because "whenever there is a need for political stability in the country, Ethiopian diasporas come together and form an alliance thinking that the government cannot stay in power and the government is weakened".

 しかしなあ、まあこれがエチオピアのノーマルの政治状況ですからというのは「をい」と突っ込みを入れたくなる。
 そうして、そうまで機能しない無能連合と言うなら―退役済みの兵隊にまで再入隊を呼び掛ける危機になってるのはどうしたことかとも突っ込まれることだろう。

BBC Ethiopia urges ex-soldiers to join fight against Tigray rebels 6 Nov 2021


Ethiopia's military has called on former soldiers to re-join the army, as it battles to hold off a rebel advance.

The appeal comes as rebel forces - spearheaded by the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) - make advances towards the capital, Addis Ababa.


This week, government officials declared a state of emergency, and called on residents to register their weapons, telling them to get ready to protect their neighbourhoods.

Speaking in Washington, a Tigrayan representative and former Ethiopian ambassador to the US, Berhane Gebre-Christos, said the aim was to oust Mr Abiy's government by force or negotiations, and establish an interim administration.

"We're trying to bring an end to this terrible situation in Ethiopia, which is created single-handedly by the Abiy government," he said. "Time is running out for him."


 Abiy政権が一方的に悪い、というのは―評価の立場にもよるとしても、まあねえ、対応を誤ったのは、そりゃあそうかもねえ…。…そりゃあねえ、「敵」たちが、一応仮にも連合し終えているわけで…。

 そして40万人規模で人工的飢餓が作り出されてしまってもいる。そりゃまあ、一方的に言われるのも、うん、まあ、その。

The government has said it will continue to fight what it calls an existential war. The conflict has entered its second year, with millions displaced and more than 400,000 on the brink of famine.

BBC Ethiopia's Tigray crisis: What's stopping aid getting in? 6 Nov 2021 By Peter Mwai

The United Nations says the humanitarian situation in northern Ethiopia is rapidly deteriorating with the flow of aid severely disrupted.

No aid supplies have been delivered into the Tigray region for nearly three weeks, while some areas in the neighbouring regions of Amhara and Afar, where aid is also needed, also remain inaccessible.

 Amhara, Afar, Tigrayの北部三州へのアクセスが途切れている。そりゃあ…治安維持の責任者としてのAbiy首相は批判されるわな。
