PM Abiy’s Chief of Staff appointed Commissioner of #Ethiopia’s newly approved Nuclear Energy Commission

Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (PhD) has appointed his Chief of Staff, Sandokan Debbebe, as the new Commissioner of the Ethiopian Nuclear Energy Commission.

According to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office, the appointment takes effect as of today, 14 October.

It comes shortly after the Council of Ministers, in its 49th regular session held earlier today, approved a new regulation establishing the Ethiopia Nuclear Power Commission.

The newly established Commission is tasked with guiding and coordinating Ethiopia’s peaceful use of nuclear technology in accordance with international standards. According to the Council, its mandate includes overseeing the application of nuclear science in key sectors such as electric power generation, industrial development, food security, healthcare, and scientific research and innovation.

Rusted screws, metal spikes and plastic rubbish: the horrific sexual violence used against Tigray’s women. Tens of thousands of Tigrayan women report brutal wartime abuse by Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers. But justice seems a distant prospect https://t.co/IFqax1Vcyh

#Ethiopia: #Eritrean leaders orchestrated industrial-scale looting operations in #Tigray, alongside atrocities: new report

A new report by The Sentry has detailed evidence implicating Eritrean leaders in the premeditated planning of the devastating war in Tigray and in orchestrating what it calls “industrial-scale looting” during and after the war.

The Eritrean Defense Forces (EDF) are also accused of trafficking gold, antiquities, and even human beings while committing atrocities including gang rape, torture, and mutilation. “The EDF were responsible at the highest levels for systematic looting and cross-border war profiteering amid a campaign of extreme brutality,” said Charles Cater, Director of Investigations at The Sentry.

“By 2024, the situation in Tigray had changed irrevocably. With parts of Tigray still under the control of the EDF, including multiple areas officially licensed for exploration by the federal government's Ministry of Mining in 2023 and 2024, competition over gold had grown increasingly complex and violent. According to the Tigray Land and Mining Bureau, an estimated $75-80 million worth of gold was being produced and diverted to the black market annually,” the report said.

The report also warns that Eritrea is now “rebuilding its military, bolstering its defenses, and continuing to destabilize its neighbors.”

John Prendergast, Co-Founder of The Sentry, warned that “Tigray is on the precipice of another – preventable - armed conflict.” He urged urgent international action, stating, “Mediation should be complemented with the threat and imposition of targeted network sanctions on those responsible for escalating the crisis and those who have profited from it.”

The report calls on the UN Security Council and key states to act swiftly to prevent renewed war and hold perpetrators accountable.

"The plunder of much of northern #Tigray was led and directed by EDF leadership and likely disproportionately benefited #Eritrea’s higher-ranking officer classes, most of whom had fought alongside Isaias since the 1970s," @TheSentry_Org report. https://t.co/BKgUGCdCqz
