Kedir Jewar, Mayor of Dira Dawa, an Islamic dedicated supporter of Abiy Ahmed has said on the Ethiopian Television network Tigrayans “are worse than the devil himself & they should be exterminated, erased from the face of the earth”.  This type of language goes against the well accepted norms of what is morally acceptable in war for Islam.

The Qu’ran has specific rules for a just war that are remarkably similar to the Christian theory of just war first published by the African Bishop Augustine of Hippo in the sixth century. Included is that women and children must be protected, the offer of negotiation must be honored, and that once offensive behavior ceases so must attacks on the enemy. Genocide, starvation, violation of women, and wanton destruction are expressly forbidden.

Abu Bakr, General to the Prophet Mohammed and 1st Caliph noted these Ten Rules for the Muslim Army

O people! I charge you with ten rules; learn them well! Stop, O people, that I may give you ten rules for your guidance in the battlefield. Do not commit treachery or deviate from the right path. You must not mutilate dead bodies. Neither kill a child, nor a woman, nor an aged man. Bring no harm to the trees, nor burn them with fire, especially those which are fruitful. Slay not any of the enemy’s flock, save for your food. You are likely to pass by people who have devoted their lives to monastic services; leave them alone.

Like his Christian counterparts such as the so-called Deacon Kibret and the “Prophetess” Birtukan who have publicly called for the complete annihilation of the Tigray ethnic group without mercy now Mayor Jewar is added to the list of blasphemers to their faith who have replaced their worship of God for the idolatry of Abiy Ahmed.
United Nations report shows , Ninety percent of the population in northern Ethiopia’s Tigray region — or 5.2 million people — need urgent aid, the U.N.’s Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights Nada al-Nashif told a virtual session of the U.N. Human Rights Council on Friday.

“Only limited U.N.-organized humanitarian supplies have been able to enter Tigray since July, including food and vital medical supplies,” said al-Nashif.

While the U.N. has met on the Ethiopian war multiple times, divisions between world powers have stymied any action to stem the bloodshed. The war started more than a year ago, when Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s sent troops into Tigray to fight and invade Tigray with his partner in crime Afewerki of Eritrea, after false allegations of an attack on the north command. It snowballed over the course of a year, with the Tigrayans and allied militias advancing toward the capital city. Recently however, Tigray forces have left towns north of Addis Ababa to their territory of the constitution. The main reason for retreating was told by the commander in chief Tsadkan Gebretensae ” to give chance for peace” though there are claims that the drone technology brought from China, Turky, Iran and UAE were the main factors.

This is the last chance that Ethiopia as a nation to continue as a nation if the government forces stop marching towards Mekelle, the capital of Tigray region. At this time foreign powers are involved in the conflict that makes it difficult to come to table. What will US and western power’s reaction be expected as extremely critical in defending the tragic event that could happen in mankind’s history.
