In this video clip, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed makes a direct appeal to those choosing the path of war in Ethiopia’s northern region of Tigray. He stresses that there is absolutely no need for renewed conflict and extends an open invitation to direct dialogue.

PM Abiy emphasizes the importance of preventing further destruction, facilitating the return of displaced people to their homes, and repairing what has been damaged.

(My translation.)

“Do not say later that I did not tell you. Let us leave conflict behind. Let us talk.
Tell those in Tigray who are looking for one excuse or another to start a war: do not do it. There is no benefit in it.
Do not say later, ‘I was not told.’ We do not need war.
I have never said no to any of you who wanted to talk to me. If you want to speak with me, you can let Getachew or Abraham know, and you can come together—ten, fifteen, or twenty of you—and talk to me. I am ready to talk.
Beyond that, there is no need for fighting.
If conflict comes, it will bring another destruction. It will bring destruction far greater than what has already been suffered.
I ask you to handle this matter with special care.
For my part, in every way possible—in every way possible—I will use every ounce of energy I have to ensure that those who have been displaced return to their homes and that what has been destroyed is repaired.
I will work on this from my heart.”

His first major foreign-policy breakthrough was the historic peace process with Eritrea, which ended two decades of “no war, no peace” and earned him the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to achieve peace and international cooperation, particularly his decisive initiative to resolve the border conflict with Eritrea.

He described peace not as a temporary absence of fighting, but as an arduous and continuing process requiring changes in hearts, minds, attitudes, and relationships.

He invoked the shared moral traditions of Christianity and Islam and declared his personal commitment to working for peace “every day and to all seasons.”

𝐈𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐏𝐌 𝐀𝐛𝐢𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝:

“It takes a few to make war, but it takes a village and a nation to build peace. For me, nurturing peace is like planting and growing trees.
Just like trees need water and good soil to grow, peace requires unwavering commitment, infinite patience, and goodwill to cultivate and harvest its dividends.
Peace requires good faith to blossom into prosperity, security, and opportunity.
In the same manner that trees absorb carbon dioxide to give us life and oxygen, peace has the capacity to absorb the suspicion and doubt that may cloud our relationships.
In return, it gives back hope for the future, confidence in ourselves, and faith in humanity.
This humanity I speak of, is within all of us.
We can cultivate and share it with others if we choose to remove our masks of pride and arrogance.
When our love for humanity outgrows our appreciation of human vanity then the world will know peace.
Ultimately, peace requires an enduring vision. And my vision of peace is rooted in the philosophy of Medemer.
...
I like to think of “Medemer” as a social compact for Ethiopians to build a just, egalitarian, democratic, and humane society by pulling together our resources for our collective survival and prosperity.
In practice, Medemer is about using the best of our past to build a new society and a new civic culture that thrives on tolerance, understanding, and civility.
At its core, Medemer is a covenant of peace that seeks unity in our common humanity.
It pursues peace by practicing the values of love, forgiveness, reconciliation, and inclusion..."

Whatever disagreements may exist over individual policies or political developments, the public record establishes that peace, reconciliation, dialogue, and regional cooperation have been central themes of Abiy’s stated political philosophy and diplomatic agenda.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee itself recognized not only his Ethiopia–Eritrea initiative but also his engagement in peace and reconciliation processes in East and Northeast Africa.

@MikaChavala Yes 🙌🏽 if not United we are Divided. A country divided never gets to fulfill the derisre to be better. Unity is the only option as a way forward to get to a synergistic ideology. Ask, “what can I do to contribute?” Everyone has a God given gift that is awaiting to be untapped.

Ethiopia: Isn’t it ironic? After 2 years of war, the politicians appear to have made peace. I wonder how many of us regular folk will do the same? Let’s remember this lesson. Wishing you all a more peaceful & love-filled 2023!🙏🏾

No one can undo the destruction. The next time we pick up a weapon, may we remember ALL who died in vain so an eye for an eye leaves us blind. Let #Ethiopia and its people live in equality, peace and harmony.
