Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has said it: "Now is the Time for Martyrdom!"

The international community has put up with the bloodshed initiated by the violence sweeping Ethiopia caused by the antics of its current Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.  Such ruthlessness imposed, first in secret and now flagrantly open to the very city limits of the capital city, can only have its source in an attempt to control a country's resources in the hands of the country's central government.  For Ethiopia is a developing nation whose source of hydroelectric power, the largest power plant in Africa, is the prize that will lure business and industry even as Egypt to its north is benefitting from the Suez.

The current central administration must not be allowed to plunder the country's potential toward growth and prosperity so to use electricity for its own ends and those of neighboring marauders, possibly from Eritrea, in on Abiy's scheme.

To pursue peace, why does not the international powers insist on shared power, a compromise between the traditional government of Tigray and the current regime?   

The bloodshed must be stopped; and peace become the reigning shout of those who seek it.  Not to condone with the attempts of the central government to starve the entire province of Tigray.
