エチオピアのしっちゃかめっちゃか状況。
改めて、ノーベル平和賞のナンセンスさが、浮き彫りに。
・・・Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, who last year won the Nobel Peace Prize,
partly for making peace with Eritrea, ordered the start of a military offensive against
Tigray on Nov. 4 after accusing the region’s ruling party of attacking a government
defense post and trying to steal artillery and military equipment.・・・
Mr. Abiy has said that he wants to unify the country by increasing the federal
government’s power and minimizing the autonomy of regional governments.
But Tigray has openly resisted, and other regions and ethnic groups are uneasy
with Mr. Abiy’s centralization push.・・・
After fighting the military dictatorship that ruled Ethiopia in the 1970s and 1980s,
the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, or T.P.L.F., emerged as the leader of the coalition
that took power in the country in 1991. ・・・
Meles Zenawi, a Tigrayan, led Ethiopia from 1991 until his death in 2012, during
which time Ethiopia became a stable nation in a turbulent region and experienced
significant economic growth. But the coalition controlled all levers of power
and repressed almost all political opposition.
Anti-government protests propelled Mr. Abiy into the prime minister’s office in 2018.
Soon after, members of the Tigray ethnic group were purged from positions of power
and arrested in corruption and security-related crackdowns - opening a deep chasm
between the Tigray region, governed by the T.P.L.F., and the federal government.・・・
The violence could draw in neighboring Eritrea, which is allied with Ethiopia’s
federal government and has a long-established resentment toward the T.P.L.F.・・・

・・・In a worst-case scenario, Ethiopia could now experience
“what could be one of the largest refugee exoduses we’ve ever seen,”・・・
The Tigrayans’ decision to launch missiles at Eritrea also added an international
element to the conflict.・・・Around 96,000 Eritrean refugees live in Tigray,
sparking fears they could be displaced again.・・・
