Abiy's government must release Jawar Mohammed, Bekele Gerba, and others currently in detention. Over the last two years, his government made several strategic blunders, mismanaged the transition and wasted the massive opportunity he had for reconciliation and healing.
This latest move to detain and drag leaders of the opposition before courts at a time when the community is mourning the loss of one of its most cherished sons is beyond disrespectful. The government can avoid yet another strategic disaster that will risk complete chaos and an unnecessary loss of lives.
Abiy must release them all and work with elders to bring the temperature down. It is the government's duty to de-escalate the situation and calm people.
