Why has the World Bank Undercut Peace in Ethiopia?
The World Bank has blood on its hands. Its lending has undercut nearly a year of international efforts to stop Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s genocide against Ethiopia’s Tigrayans.
Abiy Plays the International Community
Celebrations of Abiy, the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, were shortlived. His reputation as a peacemaker ended on Nov. 4, 2020, when Abiy launched a war against Ethiopia’s Tigray Region that to date has killed up to half a million people, and has displaced many times more.
Abiy and his supporters made four arguments to justify their campaign. The first was Tigrayan leadership’s defiance of his suspension of elections. This embarrassed Abiy. Second, Abiy claimed that the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) violated human rights while part of the previous regime. Third, Abiy characterized the campaign as necessary to correct the dysfunction inherent in Ethiopia’s ethnic federalism. Finally, the TPLF purportedly started hostilities, pre-emptively attacking the Ethiopian military.
None of these excuses has merit. Abiy sought a military shortcut to avoid politically difficult legal and constitutional remedies – he planned for war all along. Nor does anything excuse Abiy’s collective punishment of Tigrayans. While Abiy denies atrocities, he also denies free access to journalists or diplomats, which is hardly the attitude of a man with truth on his side.
(Sign Up for Our Daily Newsletter Here.)
Abiy, meanwhile, plays the international community. He feigns moderation. He invites camera crews to film World Food Programme aid convoys, suggesting that he cooperates with famine-relief efforts. In reality, the food and medicine he lets through accounts for less than 3% of what Tigray needs. He essentially repeats the deception strategy used by Nazi Germany at Theresienstadt in order to co-opt and confuse the Red Cross and the broader international community. Abiy’s advisors also publicly offer to take part in peace talks, all the while doing everything in their power to undermine that prospect by failing to abide by their commitments to reduce hostilities.
To its credit, the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden has recognized Abiy’s insincerity for what it is. Biden has appointed a succession of special envoys to address a conflict every bit as brutal and illegal as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He has ratcheted up sanctions on those responsible, and he removed Ethiopia from the free trade opportunities offered by the African Growth and Opportunity Act. This was a wise decision. Abiy has run Ethiopia’s economy into the ground. There is no reason for the United States to save Abiy from the consequences of his own actions so long as he consolidates his dictatorship and continues his genocidal campaign.
It takes two sides to make peace. In December 2021, at the request of the international community, Tigrayan forces withdrew from neighboring regions and the outskirts of Addis Ababa in order to create space for dialogue and diplomacy. They suffered tremendously for it – Abiy took their flexibility for weakness and sought to impose a military solution on Tigray. Only as Ethiopia’s economy continued to unravel did Abiy agree to talks in Nairobi.
Aid Dispatched Unwisely
Still, Abiy kept testing international resolve, and earlier this month, the World Bank gave him an out. It approved a $300 million grant to help Ethiopia rebuild, even as Abiy continued his war of attrition.
The results were predictable. Offered a financial lifeline, Abiy ceased meaningful talks and renewed strikes on civilians. Last week, Abiy airstrikes destroyed a kindergarten in Mekelle, Tigray’s capital.
Tens of thousands of Tigrayans starved as the international community cajoled Abiy into Nairobi talks. The World Bank’s actions now mean their lives were wasted.
Tigray, however, may get the last laugh. After Abiy, emboldened by the World Bank, renewed attacks, Tigrayans decided to meet fire with fire. They are again on the offensive. Forces loyal to Abiy are in disarray, just as they were in 2021.
The World Bank, meanwhile, can pretend its $300 million will rebuild the country, but aid dispatched unwisely does more harm than good. In the case of Ethiopia, the cost of World Bank incompetence could be measured in hundreds of thousands of more lives, millions more displaced, and refugee flows that will wreck stability across the Horn of Africa. The World Bank owes the international community an explanation, and perhaps even resignations.

Abiy Ahmed is using young, gullible Ethiopian youth, misguided by his rhetoric into going the war he designed for himself. These young men and women are killing young men and women in Tigray. On both sides, productive future generations with potential to get the country out of perpetual poverty are perishing while the world looks away. When captured, these youth are telling sad stories of inspiration by Abiy Ahmed who told them to go kill the vermins. He is now emboldened by the World Bank reward to openly bomb cities full of civilians, killing children in playground. I never believed I would see this recklessness from a leader, this indifference from the world, this complicity from the AU which keeps its head under the Addis Ababa sand. Tigray, once more, shall prevail, but history will judge us all.

Dr Michael is a lier or lateral paid TPLF Contributor.
TPLF or Tigray regime leaders are terrorist and killers of inocent people from other etnics in horn of Africa specially Afars, Somalins and amharas. The last 30 years terroised not only Ethiopian,Eritrean and somalian all the horn of Africa.
I my self witnessed in my own eye people killed and torutred by TPLF Agents
And,all Ethiopian we support Mr Abiy, expect those who support the TPLF regime benefited from craying like crocodail every day.
Dr Michael better go to Ethiopia and learn from eye witness what is upening in Ethiopia before u wrrite anything about.
If u r paid by some one to write this kind of lie u are a blood drinker of inocent people kiled every day right noe in thismoment in Ethiopia.
I pay for u plane ticket to go and look what upning right now in northern wollo (Raya).
This Tigrayan leaders never agree in discussion and win win soluctions they are like mafia all time wait what they think right time for them to kill any oponents in order to make beneficiery own ethnics , they never like peace and are burden of a nation.
Mr Abiy never like a war and he never belive in war too. Because of that for 3rd time attacked neigbhour regions.
If somebody else eas prime minister of Ethiopia TPLF was burried under ground long time ago.

This article might as well have been written by the TPLF spokesperson, Getachew Reda. I wonder how much Michael Rubin was paid to write this shamefully one-sided article? This sentence is particularly comical: “In December 2021, at the request of the international community, Tigrayan forces withdrew from neighboring regions and the outskirts of Addis Ababa in order to create space for dialogue and diplomacy.” Are you kidding me??? They lost fair and square, and most Ethiopians were disappointed the ENDF and allied forces did not enter Tigray and annihilate the TPLF. Look at the results today. If there is anyone I despise more than the TPLF, it’s the “white TPLF” like Michael Rubin, Martin Plaut, Alex de Waal, and others. Mark my words: Abiy Ahmed will prevail again just like he did in the past because he has the majority of Ethiopians behind him.

I think this article has full of biased information. It does not play any productive roll to bring peace in Ethiopia, because it presents TPLF as a perfect entities, they are equally responsible for what is happening in the country. For sure they are the one who resumed the current war in attaking the innocent Wollo and Afar people. TPLF can not survive with out war!

Dr. Mike,
You shoud mind your business. This is Ethiopia’s internal affair. TPLF is a terrorist organization for the last 50 year. TPLF is holding the Tigrean people hostage. If you think about the people of Tigray side with them NOT against them for the sake of few mafia members.

Thank you for this insightful piece! The world knows that Abiy chose this war as a shortcut to stay in power and continues to starve over 6million people just for power. To him human life is dispensable. The world need to understand this and move faster before Tigray’s Genocide becomes the world’s regret just like Rwanda.

Who stole over 470+ WFP trucks used in killing Amharas Afars ??all innocent Tiggrayans to keep power ??raped & looted & massacred in day light! Most recent robbery of oil tanks as reported by WFP head! TPLF must disarm & surrender & break the siege on innocent Tigray civilians!

Civil war has significantly hindered global development for years without international attention. There is a reversal of economic and social development and persistent poverty where there is civil war. Consequently, it breeds more instability and factional clashes leading to vicious circles. Worse than this, a continuous civil war could spill over effects on the neighboring countries, regions, and even global poverty reductions and security efforts.
Since the Tigray war started in November 2020, widespread human rights violations, crimes against humanity, severe economic ravages, infrastructure destruction, and diplomatic crises have been reported. The UN updated that hundreds of thousands of people were killed, more than 2.2 million people have been displaced, and security forces committed widespread human rights violations from both sides.
The continuation of this war aggravates human rights violations and humanitarian crises. It’s a political, economic, and diplomatic failure for Ethiopia. Peace has no alternatives

Regardless of the compelling profile of Dr. Michael Rubin, his article on prime minister Abiy Ahmed is extremely one-sided, misleading, exaggerated and against the principle of journalism.

An incredible monumental ignorance or deliberate lie from a senior staff originating from U.S.A. a great country leading the world!
1.A prerequisite to give valuable comments on anything is to make a research on the subject . In this regard you have not attempted to research and understand the real root cause for the war or you might have made small attempts but understood it only superficially. The third possibility is you could still have the real insight of the case ,but too biased to one side for a reason you and the part you support only know.
2. Whatever the hostility between the Ethiopian government and TPLF forces we have innumerable common things to share since immemorial time. We are at least all black , share same religions, almost similar cultutes , languages of similar origin, etc. So you as a white man living thousands of miles away from Ethiopia can not get more worried than fellow citizens here with us. I believe if anybody dies from whichever side of the conflict
it is not your worry. Your main concern is how to destabilize Ethiopia , a black freedom symbol nation from the world map.
Please don’t ptetend! Leave us alone . Had it been without external interfetences our internal problem would have been solved on our own a long time ago.
Please try to fight first the injustices against the black community in your country.

I can’t believe someone called Journalist can right some nonsense without verifying facts and post it on a site. This this shameful journalism. Clearly someone got paid to write this story or just post it. But we are living in a society where shame don’t matter as long as you got paid. This fabricate story don’t have any place in the world stage. Im an American war veteran who happened to came from this regione and have close to 95% of my extended relative still live there. Last time I checked my people are still living in hell with no freedom by these criminal organization called TPLF. While the rest of the country understand free press and democracy the people in this region still live with iron feast by this criminal mafia and elite union of well interconnected families. In addition survive with foreign aid handout year after years. They started a war and fabricated a genocide story. Killed and raped their next negiebor region. Last but not least fabricate a story and paid someone to post it for society to read it. What a journalism, as long as your pocket is full you have no consideration for the people who had been suffering under this terrorist organization for over five decades.

I wish any party writing pro or against some ( in this case Abiy), could have showed the other side of the coin so that anyone of the readers can judge fairly. Otherwise we are bored and tired of such politically/ financially-inspired thoughts. It doesn’t need a PHD to think that no one’s life should be threatened.

Dr. Rubin your opinion in this article is wrong and highly misguided and it’s well known the Nov. 4, 2020 attack to the Ethiopia military is conducted by Tigray People Liberation Front (TPLF), and the war started. Please check the records and statements of the then US State Secretary Mr. Pampeo. TPLF then invaded Afar and Amhara Regions made so many atrocities. They destroyed over 7000 health centers and schools in these region. TPLF also started another 3rd war at this moment. Please stop supporting TPLF that is killing innocents right now and push these group, who ruled Ethiopia and caused suffering to millions in the country for over 27 years, to peace and negotiation.

I wander how a senior fellow doctor become an advocator of biased allegations of the West in support of a terrorist group. Where were you when a terrorist group looted WFP stores, recruited children as soldiers, damaging hospitals, rapping and ethnic cleansing on Amhara and Afar people? Where were you when a terrorist group during its control of Eastern Amhara and some of Afar regions cruelly killed thousands and destroyed schools? Now you are shouting for your paid money rather to be neutral and understanding facts on the ground? Why you become silent when a terrorist group breached humanitarian cease fire and attack again already traumatized people of Amhara and Afar?
Truth prevails not your paid misinformation and disinformation by using your position and the truth is TPLF attacked and slaughtered soldiers, breach humanitarian truce ceasefire and continue to recruit poor and youngsters of Tigray.
I have a doubt about your diplomacy commentary and become editor and author of several books by having such biased and one sided information.

At the outset I was a little bit confused and outraged by the content of the article. But later I realized that it is something that you expect from dye hard supporters of TPLF. The article is tilted to one side that doesn’t reflect the truth on the ground. The International community is very well aware of TPLF’s intransigent behavior and repeated actions of invasion on its peaceful neighbors of Amhara and Afar people. In its latest invasion young Tegaru as old as10 and 12 even lower are forcefully engaged in war without their will and consent and even the consent of their guardians. The people of Tigray are technically under slavery of TPLF. Those people are denied their right to live peacefully with their Amhara ,Afar neighbors and even Eritrean people by very few war mongers of TPlLF group. This is the truth and the whole truth on the ground. What I advise to the contributor of this article and others, stop blackmailing and escape goat your anti Ethiopian sentiment by saying as if PM Abiy is the root cause when the problem is squarely on you and TPLF war mongers.

Dr. Rubin,
It is really sad to read your article. The TPLF had invaded or started a war against Ethiopia for the 3rd time last week . TPLF has killed hundreds and thousands of innocent people. TPLF was ruling Ethiopia for 27 years . The top leaders robbed the country and some of them became billionaires. Due to civil unrest, TPLF lost the power and moved to Tigray Region. However, the TPLF terroirs group attacked the Ethiopian military who had been protecting the Tigrayan from Eritrean soldiers for 21 years . The war between TPLF and ethiopia could be over long ago.
Ethiopians soldiers don’t wanna kill civilians. So, the air attack is targeting military bases not schools or civilian residents. The TPLF has been using child soldiers and civilians as a wave to invade the Amhara region. Around 60 thousand Tigrayan immigrated to Amhara region Kobo for the last 8 months as a refuge , and those 60 thousands Tigray immigrants invaded the kobo region . It is said “ Dont bite the hand that feeds you” However , TPLF has invaded Amhara region again and has killed innocent people, robbed and vandalized the properties.
I personally don’t like Abiy because he is the reason for Amhara’s people being killed by TPLF ; don’t forget Abiy grew up with TPLF. A few months ago , he released a few TPLF prisoners. So , it is good for TPLF to have Abiy . The war should be ended long ago if Abiy is not in power.
So, Dr. Rubin , I know you already understand the reason why Ethiopians are fighting with TPLF. Can I tell you again ? It is ( self defense), your plan is to dismantle Ethiopia and bring TPLF to power . I am gonna say again . It is really sad to hear from you . 95 percent of your article has wrong informations. I am telling you the truth. I am not supporting Abiy’s regime, the TPLF and the OLF , and I don’t wanna see my country Ethiopia being in civil war. As I mentioned earlier, if Abiy is not in power, the war should have been ended long ago. Abiy is giving a chance for TPLF recruit , train soldiers and invade the Amhara’s region and kill innocent people and rob Amhara’s properties. I can write a lot about this topic , however it is good enough for now.
So , Dr. Rubin , don’t try to fool the readers. Let’s talk about the truth.
I hate to say that I am Tigrayan I am Oromo and I am Amhara ,….. “”” I am Ethiopian “”” you are trying to dismantle or destroy a county with over 3,000 years history. Can I say 3 words like others ? . I will say it “ Shame on you “
Anyways , you and others can write bad things about Ethiopia and Ethiopians ; however God will protect Ethiopia and Ethiopians.
Let’s talk the truth !!!
You are encouraged to comment back .

It’s really fascinating to read all these artifacts. What surprised me the most is the consistency with which they were fabricated. What the writer doesn’t know, or what he ignored to acknowledge is the fact that we Ethiopians know all those pieces uttered by TPLF elites, in Tigrigna, Amharic and even in English since almost three years now. So, “Dr.” Michel, yours is not anything different from TPLF mainstream clatter. Two, as a Tigrean and a devout Ethiopian, I think it’s time for democracy and let’s deal with our internal matters. We know the British since Emperor Tewidros, we know the UK since the Ogaden and Eritrean pre independence. We know you all with your anti Ethiopian, pro Egyptian sworn positions. Down with the sun setting UK and USA.

However when this article of yours show prime Minister DR.ABIY Ahmed of Ethiopia. Wondered what is about and read your article, I want to say you are very delusional and ugly lier person. I myself don’t like politics, however I do know what the former Government of Ethiopia looks liked that is “TPLF” I lived in it, but you don’t. My friends had died because they just go out with demonstration. And you just compare and insult these government, men don’t ever write please.

Dr. Michael shame on you how much Tplf terrorists payed you to sink so low to write such rubbish statements ful lies. What a rotten world we live in. A human being like Dr. Michael the writer of the above article is biased,hypocrite an unprecedented lier. For God sake how do you defend a brutal,merciless terrorist group like Tplf. Are you accusing Prime Minister Abiye for letting truck and trucks of aid in to Tigray, are you accusing him for letting millions of gallon fuel to Tigray despite the horrendous crime committed against Ethiopia particularly in Amhara and Afar regions by Tplf terrorists come on Dr. Michael you can do or write much-needed warnings to Tplf to accept the extended arm for peace from our Prime Minister Abiye Ahmed Ali and save the children of poor Tigrians that are forced to fight by Tplf criminal ganges. Children of Tigray has suffered enough.

Dr. Rubin,
What a dishonest article. Where does your pay come from TPLF or sleepy Joe? Your article is such a one sided complete fabrication not even an ounce of truth in it. Such a shame. Where were you when the murderous TPLF cowardly killed the Northern command while sleeping? Where were you to say something when the unruly TPLF soldiers raped young girls and women in Amhara region? How did you miss that? Who made you an expert to meddle in our business, how much did you get paid? Don’t pretend to know or don’t twist the truth to fit your narrative.
You have the nerve to blame Dr. Abiy? No ground. He is a great leader who puts his country and his people first. He is a strong leader despite the pressure from the West, he puts Ethiopia first. He is a peace loving person but don’t expect him to just sit and watch the crazy ones and their supporters try to destroy Ethiopia. He doesn’t say how high when you are trying to tell him jump as you were used to do with TPLF. Unlike you he mind his own business works everyday to better the lives of his people. You praised Biden foe AGOA? What a hypocrite you are, that program was helping women who were working in the industry. Guess what AGOA or not Ethiopia Prevails because our help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. You will see Ethiopia will prosper, no doubt.

Now the time for justice has come and we are seeing it everyday. We know that God is patient and will give justice at his own time.

Oh boy. Sad. Articles and titles have become like any commodity. You sell it to anyone who pays. As long as the cash is rolling in, you do not even have to write the article. Who has the time for all that. Just put your name on it and publish it. What’s the problem, don’t lawyers represent criminals? After all, it is about some corner in some dark continent helping some group who amassed an incredible amount of wealth in an incredibly short time apparently by looting and abusing the poor…but who cares…as far as they can afford me… who is going to fact check or refute me. You are not writing about the West or China or Japan…hey no fuss ok …I might take someone to a fancy restaurant for dinner in one of these days. Oh, almost forgot, encourage them to keep coming…yea …do that.
I have a question though. is it the title and article and of course the picture that is being on market or my time and the influence over me … the reader!! I think I (the reader) donot mind the lies…go ahead and lie all you want but I need my cut from that money. What do you think…was it Dr. the title??? yes it was Dr…that part is true but how do we measure the integrity ??? oh that’s tough, but why? Maybe we should turn the clock back to the time where people had values and virtues…where they believed in God, Sin, Heaven, hell …yea probably people lie less then. It surely was not a profession. Don’t you all agree?? Oh mama Africa someone can even profit from this when it comes about you… you cannot even defend yourself…I wept…what else can I do…
