ስብስብ ለሰብአዊ መብቶች በኢትዮጵያ በህዳር ወር በኢትዮጵያ ውስጥ ስላለው የሰብአዊ መብት አያያዝ ረገድ የተስተዋሉ ዋና ዋና ክስተቶችን መሰረት በማድረግ ይህንን ጋዜጣዊ መግለጫ ሰጥቶል፡፡

ስብስብ ለሰብአዊ መብቶች በኢትዮጵያ በሀገሪቱ በተደጋጋሚ የዜጎችን ማንነት መሰረት አድርገው እየደረሱ ያሉ ጥቃቶች የተበራከቱ መሆኑ የሚያሳስብው ሲሆን በተለይም፡-

በቤኒሻንጉል ጉሙዝ ክልል መተከል ዞን ለዓመታት በዘለቀው ዘርን መሰረት ያደረገ ጥቃት የበርካታ ሰዎች ህይወት ሲያልፍ በርካቶች ደግሞ ለጉዳት መዳረጋቸውን ከተለያዩ አካላት የሚወጡ ሪፖርቶችን መሰረት በማድረግ ለማወቅ ተችሏል።

በህዳር ወር 2013 አመተ ምህርት በተደጋጋሚ በደረሱ ዘርን መሰረት ያደረጉ ጥቃት ምክንያት  በመቶዎች የሚቆጠሩ ሰዎች የተገደሉና የቆሰሉ ሲሆን በሺዎች የሚቆጠሩ ደግሞ ተፈናቅለዋል፡፡ ከዚህ ባሻገር ከቡለን ወደ ቻግኒ በርካታ ሰዎችን ጭኖ ይጓዝ በነበረ የህዝብ ትራንሰፖርት ተሽከርካሪ ላይ ቂዶ በምትባል ሰፈር በደረሰ ጥቃት በርካታ የሚሆኑ ዜጎች ጥቃት የደርሶባቸውና አብዛኞቹም መሞታቸውን ለማወቅ ተችሏል፡፡ ይህ ጥቃት አሰቃቂና ፍፁም ኢሰብዓዊ  በሆኑ ድርጊቶች የታጀቡ መሆናቸውን ተጎጂ ግለሰቦችና የአይን እማኞች  ሁኔታውን ለተለያዩ የሚዲያ አካላት ገልፀዋል፡፡

ምንም እንኳን በአካባቢው የተፈጠረውን የጸጥታ ችግር ለማስቆም የመከላከያ ሠራዊት እና የፌደራል ፖሊስን ያካተተ ኮማንድ ፖስት በስፍራው ከተቋቋመ ወራት የተቆጠረ ቢሆንም  በአካባቢው ባሉ ነዋሪዎች ላይ እየተፈጸመ ያለው ጥቃት አሁንም እንደቀጠለ ነው።

በተለያዩ የመተከል ዞን ቀበሌዎች ማለትም በጫንጮ ቀበሌ፣በዳሊቲ ቀበሌ፣ አልባሳ ቀበሌ፣ ገዲሳ ቀበሌ፣ ሙዘን ቀበሌ፣ አልባሳ ቀበሌ፣ ገደሬ ቀበሌ ለበርካታ ሳምንታት በሺዎች የሚቆጠሩ ዜጎች ተፈናቅለው በአስቸጋሪ ሁኔታ ውስጥ መሆናቸውን ተፈናቃዮቹ ገልፀዋል፡፡

በተመሳሳይም በኦሮሚያ ክልል ወለጋ አካባቢ ባለው የኦነግ ሽኔ ታጣቂ ቡድን በሚያደርገው ጥቃት ምክንያት በርካቶች ህይወታቸውን ማጣታቸውን እንዲሁም ንብረታቸው እንዲወድም የተደረገባቸው መሆኑን ለመገናኛ ብዙሃን ጣቢያዎች ተጎጂዎችና የአይን እማኞች አሳውቀዋል፡፡ ምንምእንኳን የፊደራል መንግስትና የኦሮሚያ ክልል በታጣቂ ቡድኑ ላይ ተከታታይ የሆነ እርምጃ እየወሰደ መሆኑንን ቢገልፅም በታጣቂ ቡድኖች በንፁኃን ዜጎች ላይ የሚደርሱ ጥቃቶቹ ግን እንደቀጠሉ ናቸው፡፡   

በሌላ በኩል የፌደራል መንግስቱ ህግ የማስከበር ዘመቻ ብሎ በጠራው እንቅስቃሴ ምንም እንኳን የመቀሌ ከተማን ጨምሮ ሁሉንም የትግራይ ከተሞች ከህውሃት ሀይሎች እጅ እንዲወጡ ያደረገና የተቆጣጠረ ቢሆንም በ ጦርነቱ ምክንያት ጉዳት የደረሰባቸው መሰረተ ልማቶች በመኖራቸው ምክንያት በነዋሪዎች ላይ ከፍተኛ የሆነ የሰብአዊ ቀውስ እያስከተለ መሆኑን ከአካባቢው ነዋሪዎችና ከእርዳታ ሰጪ ቡድኖች የሚወጡ መረጃዎች ያሳያሉ፡፡

በመሆኑም ስብስብ ለሰብአዊ መብቶች  በኢትዮጵያ፤ የፌደራል  መንግስትና የሚመለከታቸው አካላት  ከዚህ በታች የተዘረዘሩትን የመፍትሔ  እርምጃዎች እንዲወስዱ ጥሪውን ያቀርባል፡-

  • የብሄር ማንነትን መሰረት አድረገው የሚደርሱ ጥቃቶች ለዜጎች የህይወት ማጣት መንስኤ በመሆኑ መንግስት አፋጣኝ መፍትሄ ሊሰጥ ይገባል፡፡ በተለይም በቤንሻንጉል ጉምዝ ክልል መተከል ዞን እየደረሰ ያለውን ጥቃት ለአንዴና ለመጨረሻ ግዜ መንግስት ሊያሰቆም ይገባዋል፡፡
  • በተለይም ጉዳዩ የሰዎችን ዘር መሰረት ያደረገ ጥቃት መሆኑንን ከግንዛቤ በመውሰድ የአለም አቀፉ ማህበረሰብም በኢትዮጵያ ቤንሻንጉል ጉምዝ ክልል ውስጥ እየደረሰ ስላለው ፍፁም ኢሰብአዊና አሰቃቂ የሰው ልጅ ጥቃት ትኩረት እንዲሰጡት እናሳስባለን፡፡
  • በታጣቂ ቡድኖች በንፁኃን ዜጎች ላይ የሚደርሱ ጥቃቶች የፌደራል መንግስትና የክልል መንግስታት እንዲያስቆሙ፣ በዚህ ጥቃት ውስጥ ተሳታፊ የሆኑ አካላትን በህግ ተጠያቂ እንዲሆኑ እንዲደረግ እንጠይቃለን፡፡ ለተፈናቀሉ ወገኖችም ድጋፍ እንዲደረግ እናሳስባልን፡፡

The government must stop the repeated identity-based attacks occurring in Benishangul-Gumuz Zone!

10th January 2021 by Admin

Association for Human Rights in Ethiopia (AHRE) is releasing this press statement on the basic of the key human rights developments in Ethiopia on November, 2020.

Association for Human Rights in Ethiopia is concerned about the recurring identity-based attacks on civilians that are happening in the country. Specially:
According to reports from various sources, the ongoing racial violence has claimed many lives and injured many more.
On November 2012 hundreds of people were killed and injured, and thousands were displaced as a result of repeated racial violence. In addition, a bus carrying a large number of people from Bulen to Chagni was also attacked in the Kido neighboring, attacking several people, killing most of them dead. According to several victims and witnesses, these attacks are followed by horrific and inhumane acts.

Although it has been several months since the launching of a command post in the area consisting of the Defense Forces and the Federal Police to put the unrest in the area under control, attacks on residents have continued.
According to the internally displaced people in different Kebeles of Metekel Zone such as Chancho Kebele, Daliti Kebele, Albasa Kebele, Gedere Kebele for several weeks thousands of residents have been misplaced and are in dire conditions.

Similarly, victims and eyewitnesses told medias that many were killed and their property destroyed as a result of the attacks by the OLF militia in the Welega area of Oromia Region. Although the Federal as well as the Oromia Regional government claim to be taking measures against the groups, the armed groups continue to attack innocent civilians.
On the other hand, although the Federal Government in its “law enforcement” campaign has taken control of all towns in Tigray, including Mekelle, reports from local residents and aid groups indicate that there is a serious humanitarian crisis in the area due to severe infrastructure caused by the war.
Association for Human Rights in Ethiopia urges the government and concerned parties to take the following remedial measures:

  • Ethnic based attacks are major cause of loss of civilians lives therefore, must be addressed by the government immediately. In particular, the government must stop the ongoing violence in Benshangul Gumz region, Metekel Zone once and for all.
  • In particular, we urge the international community to pay attention to the inhumane and horrific human right abuses taking place in the Benihangul-Gumz region.
  • We urge the Federal and state governments to stop the attacks on innocent civilians by armed groups and for those responsible to be held accountable. We also urge immediate assistance and support for the displaced citizens.
  • The government must provide urgent repairs to the infrastructures destroyed following the Government’s law enforcement operation as they are affecting the lives of residents as well as work with aid agencies to provide emergency supplies to the affected population as soon as possible.

AHRE’s statement for the 72th Human Rights Day

11th December 2020 by Admin

Recover better- stand up for Human Rights

“There can be no peace without development, no development without peace, and no lasting peace or sustainable development without respect for human rights and the rule of law.” Former UN Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson
For Ethiopians, COVID-19 has been most devastating. Its eruption has been followed by grave human rights violations in different parts of the country. A number of innocent citizens died, wounded, lost their properties and displaced from their home towns due to ethnic based attacks. A number of
precautionary measures taken by the government, including the extension of the 6th national election that disappointed prominent oppositions, have contributed for the most human rights violations and chaos occurred in the country.
No peace in most part of the country where ethnic based attack is prevalent. The human rights violations have continued, and people are being brutally killed and displaced. On the other hand, development can never be achieved without peace and there can be no peace and security without respect for human rights and rule of law. Ethiopians are struggling to recover from COVID-19 and unrest that followed its eruption.
Hence, upon celebrating the 72th year of Human Rights Day, AHRE calls up on all the concerned parties to stop the massive human rights violations happening in different parts of our country and ensure rule of law, and thereby secure the safety and security of citizens dwelling at every corner of the country.
