CONFIRMED: DEFENSE MINISTER LEMMA MEGERSSA UNDER HOUSE ARREST

Lemma Megeressa (left) and PM Abiy Ahmed pictured together during the September 2018
9th organizational conference of then OPDO in Jimma city. It was at this conference that OPDO officially changed its name to ODP only to later on merge to make up Abiy’s new Prosperity Party (PP) causing the first rift between the two.

Addis Standard staffs

August 13/2020 – Ethiopia’s Defense Minister and Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s one time close ally Lemma Megerssa is placed under house arrest, multiple sources confirmed to Addis Standard. The rumors were circulating on social media for most part of yesterday.

Ethiopia Insider, an online based local news media, also confirmed the news a few minutes ago.

According to three sources who spoke to Addis Standard, he was told on Tuesday night by General Adem Mohammed, the Chief of Staff of the Ethiopian National Defense Forces, that he should “stay put” at his residence off Bole avenue “until further notice was issued.”

Yesterday, some of his staff members at the Ministry of Defense, including his secretary, were barred from accessing his office, which was later on searched by members of federal police forces, two sources from the Ministry confirmed.

Lemma was appointed as Defense Minister on April 18 2019. He made history as the first President of Oromia regional state to have ever been unanimously elected by the regional Council (Caaffee) in the intense midst of the Oromo protests in October 2016. He doubled the Chairman of then Oromo People’s Democratic Organization (OPDO). But on February 22 2018 he gave his seat up for PM Abiy, then his deputy, a move that paved ways for Abiy to assume EPRDF’s chairmanship, a de facto position to become the next prime minister in the wake of the resignation of former PM Hailemariam Desalegn a week earlier.

But Lemma’s relationship with PM Abiy soured after he openly criticized the PM’s move to dismantle EPRDF in favor of the current Prosperity Party (PP), guided by Abiy’s philosophy of “Medemer” (Synergy). In November 2019, Lemma said he does not subscribe to both “Medemer” as a philosophy and the merger of EPRDF to form Prosperity Party, a move seen by many as a major blow to PM Abiy.

Although Lemma proclaimed to “narrow his differences and work together,” the relations between the two former allies never recovered since then. However, tension rose high between PM Abiy and Lemma following the assassination of Prominent Oromo artist Haccaaluu Hundessa and the breakneck crackdown that saw leading Oromo opposition figures, journalists, activists and academicians jailed. Several sources confirm to Addis Standard that Abiy accuses Lemma of having relations with Jawar Mohammed, PM Abiy’s one time ally-turned-fierce critique, who is now in prison. AS

Editor’s Note: Addis Standard will have an upcoming clarifying scoop on the widely circulated news of the suspension of Lemma Megerssa and two others from the Central Committee membership of ODP and the House of Federation.

#AbiyMustGo#Ethiopia

Hearing from credible sources that Ethiopia's Defence Minister, Lemma Megersa, is under a house arrest as of this morning. Last night, the Chief of the Army, General Adam, called Lemma and told him that: (1) the PM doesn't believe his services are needed any longer, and (2) that he should not leave his house until further notice. 

Not sure where to start on this but if there is one thing that exposes Abiy Ahmed's zero-sum politics and his dangerously Machiavellian mindset, it is his betrayal of Lemma Megersa. Yes, he betrayed the Oromo cause that brought him to power and singled out Oromo nationalism and unity as a threat to his power and things that must be eviscerated, but Lemma is the man who put Abiy ahead, and made him a PM. Without Lemma, Abiy would not have become a PM, and indeed the entire OPDO cabal would not have received the backing of the Oromo public. If he is capable of betraying Lemma Megersa, everyone else must be expendable cogs within his political machine. 

His party is now purged of all dissenters and critical voices and the opposition camp is totally muzzled. Abiy is so intolerant that he even arrested Lidetu Ayalew. What kind of threat does Lidetu represent to Abiy? 

Some people might see this as a momentary power-struggle between individuals and groups but it is impossible to isolate this event from the larger events that dominated Ethiopia's politics since Haacaaluu's assassination. And it goes to the core of whether the Ethiopian body-politic, as an idea and a project of the future, will survive or not.

ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - At least 10 people died in clashes between protesters and security forces in Ethiopia’s southern region on Monday, health officials said, the latest violence as myriad ethnic groups clamour for more autonomy.

The protests were sparked by Sunday’s arrest of local officials and activists seeking a new autonomous region for their Wolaita ethnic group, said Matheos Balcha, spokesman of the opposition party Wolaita National Movement Party. One of their party members was arrested, he said.

Security forces shot dead at least six people in Boditi on Monday, a town 295 km (180 miles) southwest of the capital Addis Ababa, said Temesgen Hilina, a senior official at Boditi health center.

“They were shot in the head, abdomen, and their chest,” he said. “I was the one who gave them the first treatment and later they died.”

A 14-year-old boy was among the dead, he said, and 34 people injured.

A distress call from a high ranking official about the PP meeting.

The trio (Lamma, Tayeba and Milkessa) were summoned to appear at the ODP CC meeting (though there is no such a thing as OPP CC). Lemma and Milkessa ignored the invitation. Tayeba attended the gimgema reluctantly. At the meeting, she was searched and dehumanized. The entire session was literally about four people (under the guise of cleaning the house of fifth columnists and correcting discipline issues). The fourth person is the deputy mayor of Finfinne.

The trio were accused of everything under the sun: Association with Jawar; working with opposition and Bandas (OLF and OFC) to undermine PP; plotting a coup under the guise of Gaaddisa Hoggansa Oromoo; organizing Qeerroo in Shashamane (TH) to burn the city to the ground and to attack minorities; working with TPLF; lack of discipline, etc, etc.

Abiy now wants them to a) apologise and get in line b) go public and complain about mistreatment and hijacked reforms. The later will serve as a pretext to eliminate them. The idea is, they will go public and speak to the media. Protests (encouraged by PP) erupts in parts of Oromia. The trio will be blamed for instigating conflict and killed.

All in all, this was a distress call. A plea for understanding. The situation is dire. They are under enormous pressure. The source says the public must know that if something happens to any of these leaders, even if it's a "car accident," Abiy and PP will be responsible. These people are stuck. Arrest is the best they can hope for at this stage. The worst is feared as prison makes them martyrs and the issues will continue to linger. If they don't repent during this "temporary suspension," they will be eliminated. That's the fear.

The official’’s final statement: “Speaking out is not an option now. Our survival is under a big question mark. It will also play into Abiy's hands. Our people should understand this. Please kana gurra uummata nuu buusii.”
