Dr. Debretsion's Press Release
January 22, 2013, 22 What the hell is this
=================================================
The people of Tigray who live in and abroad.
Ladies and gentlemen.
I send my greetings to the Tigray field where the main invaders and the struggle is held, expressing my respect and appreciation for you and your struggle.
Ladies and gentlemen,
The people of Tigray fought to ensure their existence and rights, and to ensure their right to rule itself, and to ensure that war is against genocide and genocide is not ruled by the unitary fascist Abiy Ahmed. The invasion and mass murder has continued. The struggle of the people of Tigray.
Dear people of Tigray,
The invasion of self-determination, self-governance, self-determination, pushing your identity and right to destroy your existence. Since 4 government and regional special forces participated in Tigray, it is a lack of power. As previously stated, one Tigrian boss has registered an amazing adventure and bravery for one enemy's segment. Using the power found from the north, we have caused heavy losses on the enemy. Due to the lack of force, we are continuing our struggle to strengthen our struggle to change this balance.
Ladies and gentlemen,
These people of Tigray made us laugh, show us crucifixion, we will steal the property and take it back, they don't understand something. They don't understand that there is a fundamental treasure that the people of Tigray can't take. The biggest wealth of the people of Tigray is not a property that can be expressed by a mistake but it can't be robbed by anyone, it is the power of thinking and power of every Tigrian person. The power that is found in the people of Tigray is what no invader can take it.
The fact that the people of Tigray are learning by the power of change of thinking and civilization is not by robbing human property but by trying hard work. It is not only by faith but also by the level of perspective that changed their lives with this mindset. This wealth and power have become the call of a person that no one can take. And now it's a people who don't take long to get back to where they are and fill what they are hurting. A bad idea that has an old mind between the invaders' leaders and their army is not successful. Unless the destruction they are doing is to stop grudges and quarrels, Tigray will go backward afterward.
Ladies and gentlemen,
The struggle has demanded a lot of value. From the members of Tigray founder, those who fought and lead and recorded many victories have been hurt by the enemy of this invasion. They have paid a huge sacrifice. They are still paying for it. The sacrifices of our heroes make us laugh more than regret and wisdom, but it will never stop us from our struggle.
These fallen and sacrificed heroes are very lucky to lead their people. We are very proud of them for sacrificing their loyalty to their people on the line they have held. For all those many years, it is an honor that no one can get as much as you have kept and protected your loyalty to the people. Therefore, our great and existing leaders are going to struggle to be part of the new history and heroes.
The respected people of Tigray.
Fascist Abiy Ahmed, the rule of law and arrogance, the mission to destroy the people of Tigray, are doing this on top of the injustice. In Tigray cities and rural areas, they are being destroyed by heavy weapons and non-stop beating. The property you have been destroying for the past 30 years is being invaded and destroyed. Your children will be slaughtered while being hunted. They will forget what they thought. They are going to suffer. The rest of you collected not only for the cattle and cattle to be hit by hunger and chewing gum, the rest will also be carried by the fire. If there is a Tigray person who is related to hunger and displacement, they will steal all drugs in Tigray by saying that they won't be healed. Those who didn't take medication and medical treatment will also show it by fire. It is clear that all of these are trying to destroy the people of Tigray.
I call on you to realize that all these invaders and fascists will remain in the land of Tigray, it is time for destruction and massacre, our people without any difference, you have started on your enemies and make your golden victories real quick.
The respected farmer of Tigray,
Our enemies, they have put fire on you and no one else. All this fire of destruction, you are on your public line, continue your struggle, registering victories are high and historic. Even though our enemies are full of injustice and abuse, you have shown that you will not leave your struggle. Bless your children and give them to the struggle, you will be there strengthened your hunger. In the summary, ′′ Our armed forces, our wake up from our people ′′ is a special place to feed and take care of your children. And I'd like to make sure your kids walk together until they get their last impression.
Our people in the city:
Even if you are a victim of psychological abuse and psychological attacks in Tigray and other Ethiopian cities, your spirit continues to fight in the hands of the enemy. The struggle you continued on our enemies and their messenger traitors is amazing. Therefore, the struggle you are doing on the meeting platform that our enemies call for you is making your efforts to improve. For those who are able to observe, you have proved that the people of Tigray are not going to bow down their heads, but also the sacrifice of life and the sacrifice of life, and the sacrifice of life will face the oppression and struggle on what they believe. I call on you to continue your struggle for your identity and rights until our enemies get out of control.
Dear Tigrian defense forces.
The enemies of Tigray and invaders, there is no crime that they did to us from the earth and from the earth and from the existence, created the forehead, and created the Tigrian generation where they have reached and killed, they didn't commit a crime. The part of our youth is burning and burning by fire by these brutals. For this reason, you will not have a peaceful life as long as you migrate from everywhere. If you are reluctant to education, you are forced to have a dark time. These invaders don't only harm and harm when they are in Tigray, but also the future of Tigray is proud of the bad shade you are doing in the digital Woyane and others. The youth of the new generation who continued to struggle without eating your morning, you are also making history. Tigray is proud of you too. Keep fighting and keep fighting, others join the struggle fast. I call on you to get the age of the invaders quickly.
Dear Tigray women,
The group of fascist Abiy Ahmed and Isayas rule of law reads the genocide on the people of Tigray is not to speak of violence and crime. We are going through a terrible situation where Tigray women are raped by the invaders, hanged, and together. Mother and daughter are raped together. Those of you who gave birth to young people will be given bullets and migrants. Wealth and property are stolen, it is destroyed. Every day where the enemies of Tigray stay on our land, the abuse that is happening to Tigray women is allowing them to continue for more time so get organized and fight for the enemy wherever you are. I call on all those who allow his age and ability to demonstrate for the struggle and make the enemy live in every way.
Dear Tigrian diasporas,
You have understood the genocide and crime that has been burned on the people of Tigray, you are trying to save your people as ambassadors of your people. Let it be, the struggle has begun, but it has not been married. Until the right to self-determination of the people of Tigray will continue fully. Therefore, on one side, I will give you the contribution you started to strengthen the people of Tigray, and on the other hand, your time, knowledge, and money to strengthen the people of Tigray.
The respected leaders of the world.
Fascist Abiy Ahmed, including the Eritrean army, is shaking the people of Tigray with no-fault. The forces of destruction, have continued their mission day and night to kill the people of Tigray with bullets and hunger. Since they are Tigray people, innocent people will be pissed wherever they are. Tigrian women are raped in the middle of nowhere. For the people of Tigray, human and democratic rights and freedoms will be violated by bad statements and aquahan. Tigray villages and Abiyates, let the Tigray army live without killing them, they will be bombarded and gunfire. Expensive and irreplaceable heritage will be destroyed, robbed. As there are millions of people, there will be a life of suffering after being displaced and displaced. Pets are missing and migrating from the missing shelter. The genocide and genocide that is different from the people of Tigray are being planned. This kind of crime is not because there is a crime but because it is democratic to elect its own governors. Therefore, so that you can openly oppose the crime that is being committed on the people of Tigray, especially the leaders of Abiy Ahmed and Esayas, let's condemn the crime that is being committed on the people of Tigray. I call on the name of Tigray.
Ladies and gentlemen:
The previous generation of Tigray was not armed with modern weapons, missiles, and tanks. ′′ We won't give up the rights of the people, we won't kneel down ′′ is holding the endurance and unity of the goal and struggle with principles. We also have to pay all the sacrifices that we have to make and defeat our enemies with our faith, our unity, and unity, the history of Tigray should continue as Demeke. There is no doubt that we can defeat any enemy that comes with victory. Our enemies are getting nervous because they are getting stronger, they have gathered their capacity like new, and started a heavy invasion. It is inevitable that the war that started now will destroy the enemies and bury them.
The only option left from the past invaders is to get rid of the experienced forces when they get out of Tigray. The current invaders will be saved from demolishing because they left Tigray with their faults. Otherwise, we don't have a place to go from our land and our land, so we should know that we won't go back to the people's war until we break up. We will make sure that our victory is in our hands by bury our enemies.
Victory to the people of Tigray!
Failure for the enemies of Tigray!
Let's fight for the right to decide our own luck for Tigray!
Eternal respect for our heroes and our past heroes!

The Honorable Members of the House of Representatives and Senate United States Congress: URGENT Humanitarian Crisis in Tigray, Ethiopia
The Honorable Members of the House of Representatives and Senate
United States Congress
Washington, D.C. 20515

Re: URGENT Humanitarian Crisis in Tigray, Ethiopia
Dear Honorable Members of Congress:
It is with deep sadness that I kindly request your support in ending the humanitarian crisis in Tigray region, Ethiopia. Since the large-scale war on the people of Tigray started on November 4th, 2020, the humanitarian crisis has increased exponentially with no end to this crisis. United Nations members and many other organizations have called for an immediate ceasefire to allow humanitarian aid to reach areas in danger of massive hunger and death. However, the large-scale war continues and the lives of millions of people in the Tigray region remain at risk for an unimaginable crisis and death.
On November 4th, 2020, the federal government along with foreign forces declared a military heavy “law enforcement operation” to capture members of the Tigray region government and take control of Tigray. The national media, controlled by the federal government, informed the world media of this “law enforcement operation.” The Tigray regional government assessment was the Ethiopian federal government was declaring a full large-scale war to eliminate the people and government of Tigray. At the same time of declaring “law enforcement operation,” transitional Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed declared a six-month state of emergency in the region of Tigray and ordered a complete blackout for the entire region. Electricity, waterlines, internet, telecommunication, and food supply were completely cut off. Travel to and from Tigray was prohibited. Tigray was ordered to be in complete darkness.
The lack of respect for human life in the Tigray region is unimaginable. Those escaping to neighboring Sudan have painted a picture similar to the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Between November 9th and 10th, a series of ethnic cleansing and mass murders took place in a small town, Mai Kadra, and refugees fleeing the town were interviewed by various media agencies including Reuters, Financial Times, The New Humanitarian, Associated Press, and others. They report the ethnic cleansing and mass murders were committed on innocent Tigray civilians.
At the start of the war, the Tigray regional government called on the African Union and neighboring countries to mediate a ceasefire. On November 9th, 2020, the African Union Chairperson called for immediate cessation of hostilities and requested both parties to respect human rights and ensure the protection of civilians. The Prime Minister of Sudan, Abdalla Hamdok, repeatedly tried to negotiate for peace, however, his request was denied by the federal government of Ethiopia. Despite countless efforts by the Tigray regional government, all attempts toward peace failed because the federal government of Ethiopia denied all cease-fire requests.
Similarly, the European Union (EU) and the United Nations (U.N.) called for immediate cessation of hostilities and requested dialog between both parties. However, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed refused all requests stating, “the international community should stand by until the government of Ethiopia submits its request for assistance.” Despite all of these concerns from human rights and peace advocates, ethnic-targeted war on Tigray continues. The EU has subsequently suspended the annual $110 million budgetary aid to Ethiopia.
On December 2nd, 2020, soon after capturing Mekelle and declaring victory and full control of Tigray, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed reached an agreement with the U.N. to allow unimpeded access for aid organizations in Tigray. A week later, on December 8th, 2020, the Associated Press reported “Ethiopia’s security forces shot at and detain [four] United Nations staffers as they tried to reach part of the embattled Tigray region.” An Ethiopian senior government official, Redwan Hussein, admitted the attack and said “they were told in some areas they were not supposed to move. But they indulged themselves in a kind of adventurous expedition. No entity, multilateral or unilateral, is supposed to supplant the government. We, the government, would call the shots.” The four U.N. staffers were trying to assess roads, a key step before entry by larger aid convoys. Access to lifesaving food, medicine, water, protection, and other aid is of urgent and critical matter for Tigray. The Norwegian Refugee Council head, Jan Egeland, expressed his frustration stating the organization was “deeply concerned to find that humanitarian access to the region is still significantly constrained. These people can no longer be made to wait. Aid must not be left at a standstill. We have been standing ready to deliver food, emergency shelter and other essential materials for weeks, and we expected the deal with the federal government of Ethiopia to clear the way.”
It has now been almost three months, and the humanitarian crisis has reached a new level of starvation and death. The Washington Post on January 17th, 2021, states, “the first humanitarian workers to arrive after pleading with the Ethiopian government for access describe weakened children dying from diarrhea after drinking from rivers. Shops were looted or depleted weeks ago.” The report further states, nearly 4.5 million people need emergency food and unless aid reaches the people of Tigray, “hundreds of thousands might starve to death,” if not already dead. Due to fear, hunger, thirst, and trauma, more than 2 million people have been internally displaced in Tigray region, and nearly 60, 000 people have fled to Sudan as refugees. Mari Carmen Vinoles, head of the emergency unit for Doctors Without Borders, told the Associated Press “there is an extremely urgent need- I don’t know what more words in English to use – to rapidly scale up the humanitarian response because the population is dying every day as we speak.” Hunger and thirst are of extreme concerns and in places like Adigrat, a city of 140,000 people, there are only 2 wells left out of 21. The Famine Early Warning System Network, funded and managed by the U.S., says “parts of central and eastern Tigray are likely in Emergency Phase 4, a step below famine.” The Economist on January 23rd, 2021, states, “after two months of war, Tigray faces starvation.” Over 30 years ago, drought, war, and government denial of basic human aid such as food and water caused famine in the Tigray region resulting in the loss of 1 million lives. Today, the complete blackout, desert locust destruction of crops, burning of crops by invading forces, and federal government denial of humanitarian aid into Tigray region is reproducing the famine experienced over 30 years ago.
Although transitional Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed declared victory on November 28th, 2020, fighting continues throughout Tigray region and the destruction of public and private property and mass murder of men, women, children continue. The destruction and looting of ancient churches and mosque also continue. Burning of homes, crops, and killing of livestock continues. Factories, universities, and hotels have been destroyed and looted. Hospitals and other health centers are destroyed and abandoned. Over 90% of the ambulances in Tigray region are missing. Sexual violence of young girls and women continues. Banks are closed. Bank accounts opened in Tigray region are closed in all of Ethiopia. Tigrayans living and working in other parts of Ethiopia have been removed from work and subjected to hate and discrimination by non-Tigrayans. Without an actionable action by the U.S, many more Tigrayan citizens will die from hunger or gunfire in the upcoming short weeks.
From the start of the war, Tigrayans living outside of Ethiopia have peacefully protested against this war. It is clear these protests have not been enough. The European Union, United Nations, and other humanitarian organizations have exhausted all avenues to stop the war and provide humanitarian aid, however, these efforts have not been enough. Several U.S. government officials have condemned the war on the people of Tigray and the associated extreme humanitarian crisis; however, these efforts have not been enough.
United States Congressman, Congresswoman, and Senators, throughout your careers you have been iconic leaders and have served and protected the American people from domestic and foreign powers. We are all witness to your willingness to protect the American people from several crises including COVID-19 disease. We are all witnesses to your protection and support of men, women, and children regardless of race, class, gender, and citizenship status. I humbly and respectfully request all of you to use your platform and take an actionable stance to end the war on the people of Tigray and the greatest humanitarian crisis since the famine of 1980s.
Respectfully Request a call for…
1. Immediate ceasefire.
2. Immediate removal of all invading forces out of Tigray region.
3. Immediate and open access to all humanitarian aid agencies to all areas of Tigray.
4. Immediate restoration of electricity, internet, telecommunication, and water to all affected areas of Tigray.
5. Immediate and independent investigation of human rights abuses and violations against men, women, and children.
6. Immediate and independent investigation of all forces involved in the destruction and looting of public and private property including but not limited to schools, health centers, churches, and mosques.
7. Immediate and independent investigation of all forces involved in the mass murder of civilians, burning of crops, killing of livestock, and mass murder and displacement of Eritrean refugees.
8. Immediate monetary and non-monetary support to prevent famine, disease, and death.
Sincerely,
Thursday, January 28, 2021
