Topic: War in Ethiopia, why is everyone silent? - page 2. (Read 291 times)
Don't you see the reason why they're quiet about this? It's simple racism that's making this war go unnoticed, if you read enough news stories check how they overreacted with the war on Ukraine. Wanna know why? That's cause they're mostly white and in political standpoint, helping Ethiopia won't be a big help for US against their tense relationship with the Russian government.

"Though the war’s true toll is impossible to know, researchers from Belgium’s Ghent University estimate as many as half a million people have died so far: between 50,000 and 100,000 from the fighting, 150,000 to 200,000 from starvation and more than 100,000 from the lack of medical attention. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has expressed concern about possible ethnic cleansing in Tigray, but the government in Addis Ababa has dismissed this as “spurious.”"
In this country, the interests of 2 countries China and the United States clashed. China was friends with the current government, and the US supported Nobel Peace Prize winner Abiy Ahmed, whose actions led to a civil war with heavy losses.

Only reason why this is not being reported is that it's not happening in any first world country, neither a first world country has any direct relation with this war, Also this area is not important to any 1st world country for its geopolitics, so because of all this, no one really is talking about this. If the first world country want these sort of wars can be easily avoided in any country of the world, they have enough resources to supply to the federal government of these countries to supress any such anti-national uprising however they chose to stay away from such small countries in turn letting people die."Though the war’s true toll is impossible to know, researchers from Belgium’s Ghent University estimate as many as half a million people have died so far: between 50,000 and 100,000 from the fighting, 150,000 to 200,000 from starvation and more than 100,000 from the lack of medical attention.

African countries should unite and stop all this unnecessary waging of war hovering around their territory than waiting for the first country to get involved in all their wars before they put a stop by finding a lasting solution
To answer your question on why the silence, I will put it mildly – Perhaps it's because Ethiopia proved stubborn to Europe in the past as it wasn't colonized by any. It remained the only country in Africa with Liberia that weren't colonized.
Come to think of it, the super powers are often the problem of this world and the crisis therein. They like to head to countries they know they can get something compensatory from if they have to intervene in their crisis. There's always a point of interest. Otherwise the stay out. Most times, they're the troublemakers who hide pretentiously to act the good guy. They instigate the problem and then act like they're offering help.

I see this pattern all the time too and I see the hand of the US in it. It was the same fate Libya suffered under Gaddafi. A country that was well run but the US felt it should be a democracy and ousted the charismatic but stubborn Gaddafi out of office. Till today, Libya has remained in a troubled state. It's the same thing that's likely going to play out in Ethiopia. When will Africans learn?Come to think of it, the super powers are often the problem of this world and the crisis therein.

It is tragic that these sort of wars take place with little coverage in comparison to say, Russia's war against Ukraine in Europe. However the media plays a role and if the government of Ethiopia make it difficult for journalists to report in an unbiased way, then naturally fewer stories will get out of the region. Let's just be clear though, China is friends with no one - it exists only to advance it's own benefit and every economic project has been extended only in the most expensive and self serving way possible. If China lends you money, they charge you 10% and insist on importing Chinese labor to complete the project. At least when countries like the US assist they charge much lower rates and at least generate plenty of work for locals. It seems like you have it backwards anyway, any normal person would want freedom and democracy, China's authoritarian style of government is happy to support any level of terror or dictators without any qualms.

The issue in Ethiopia has a tribal historical undertone and not just about democracy. Abiy Ahmed was democratically elected, but the Tigray region wants more autonomy and that's the main cause of the war.
I think the media was silent during the rwandan and armenian genocides. There are many today who deny the armenian genocide even occurred. The same can be said of independence movements around the world. Catalan independence did not receive much attention. Same with the arab spring. The only one that received much attention was #brexit.
Many pride themselves on not following international news. There isn't much of a market for current events around the world. A large part of the reason why many cannot put current events into their proper context. And find themselves caught by surprise when trends which were common abroad for many years, finally come full circle, landing on american shores.
The cure for violence and war is knowledge and information. Its easy to get caught up in stone age lifestyles. When you don't know there are better ways to live.

I never hear about this matter until now but it is sad that storyline of how the Covid -19 generated from Wuhan became a global issue is not enough for our political leader.If you do not want democracy, then you will have a war in your country .. how many times will this story be repeated?
What we are seeing is the mistake caused by political differences and the same thing led to Ukraine's invasion will is going to a year now.
I think we need decentralization in our political scheme.
Not only in Ethiopia many countries in Africa, Asia and the Middle East go through wars that not only take lives but leave the economy of those countries crippling. But we don't get to see much attention giving to such wars, the situation of some immigrants who left their countries because of poor economy in search of a greener future for themselves, passing through great dangers in the wilderness only to then be treated like animals at the board.
Many countries in Africa are at war with themselves, with poverty and with bad leadership. With terrorists and bandits. Some are refugees even in their own countries. Living in displaced camps and hoping for their next meal to fall from above. The world powers a playing politics and of course fighting. But when two elephants fight, the grass suffers. Chinese government I do not see much problem with them, but they are indirectly owning the economies of African countries by giving them high loans and investing in critical sectors of their economy. I wonder what will happen by 2030. But when it's not among the high powers, the media down plays it.

No one deserves such inhuman act and the world is very picky to which war and inhuman act to speak up on. I am just learning about the war in Ethiopia and I would do more research on this, but I think there should be equality no human life is more important than another. And alarm should always be raised against war on innocent lives anywhere in the world.
