Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed was asked to resign during the 28th regular session of the 2nd year of the 6th House of People’s Representatives. In his speech, Dessalen Chane (Dr.), a council member on behalf of Abiy, asked Abiy Ahmed to resign and hand over his power to a civilian administration and dissolve the parliament.
Desalegn (Dr.) said that the government and the failed leadership of the Prime Minister have caused Ethiopia to plunge into a national crisis. The country’s political, economic, and social problems, which have been getting more complicated since he came to power, have now reached a point where it is impossible to cover up the fact that they have turned into a global crisis.
The member of the council asked for a national crisis resolution conference to be prepared to get the country out of this crisis and said that the prime minister should hand over his power to the interim civil administration as neither prosperity nor the parliament can get the country out of the crisis.
Member of the House of People’s Representatives Dessalen Chane (Dr.) also requested to dissolve the House with the permission of the House according to Article 60 Sub-Article 1 of the Constitution and pave the way for new elections.
This is not the first time Prime Minister Abiy has been asked to resign. It will be remembered that in the previous meeting of the House of People’s Representatives, the representative Christian Tadel, asked the Prime Minister to resign from his position.
No resignation or dissolution of parliament is gonna work for that country at this moment. These thugs who do the kidnapping for ransom are both in Amhara and Oromia regions. What they enjoy is not public support in those regions but the indifference by the common citizens. Both Oromos and Amharas want to see these ruffians eradicated but they feel powerless to do it themselves due to exaggerated reputation of the might of these armed hoodlums. When some Amhara and Oromo local officials try to do something about it these demons will shoot and hack them to death. We have all heard about assassinations of such local officials and common citizens. There are still other gallant local officials who are trying to do away with these miscreants and what must be done is provide them the means with which they can coordinate their tasks. Supporters of these gangs who embedded themselves in the regional forces must be hunted down and expurgated. If the PM is against this then he should reconsider his current position.
Now, in regards to inflation, which country is not reeling from its runaway height? The question is are the leaders doing something about it? Current level of inflation will be around for a while. It may even lead to even more painful recession before subsiding. If PM Abiy’s government policy is making the inflation worse then he should reconsider his position as the leader of the country and let the parliament bring in someone else to do the job. I am not a fan of so-called ‘provisional’ government. In many cases never worked. They became talk shops for loud mouths and smart alecks. Many of them ended up being head hunting agencies for individuals who ended up being brutal despots. Ain’t gonna work in our case. Just imagine these intellectuals and college professors who are deafening us now with ‘Oromummaa’ this and ‘Neftegna’ that, ‘Oromo extremists’ this ‘Fano’ that moving their jaws on the podium of such provisional government. Just picture that! Provisional government in the current setting is just a set up for a punch line. A joke but not funny for the suffering citizens.
