The TPLF Variant on Apartheid
From the outset TPLF defines itself as a liberator for one specifically racially defined group. And still after two
decades on power, irrespective of its ostensible claim that it is under the umbrella of EPRDF, people of the
same origin monopolistically has held the whip-hand; and the whole country has been cash cowed by one
specific racial group while the majority is being treated as impediments.
The apartheid nature and characteristics of TPLF’s policies and behavior is as covert as possible to throw the
majority into total muddle until it is too late. To put it bluntly, the fledgling apartheid system of TPLF is
emerging through a frog boiling tactic.
The TPLF’s apartheid system can be described as a subtle state action designed to secure and maintain the
Tigrian domination by furthering their Economic and Political interests through control over the majority
Non-Tigrian population.
The following categories make the necessary, sufficient, and defining characteristics of the emerging tender-
plant apartheid system in Ethiopia:
1.Economic Interest
Furthering the Tigrean economic dominance is mainly achieved through a threefold economic sabotage: i.e.,
1. Through the creation of Tigrian tycoons in every facet of the economy;
2. By building extractive business empire;
3. Through emasculation of Non-Tigrian business firms.
Let’s see each of the above points in detail.
1.1 The incubation of the Tigrian Racketeers: Unlike the loosely dispersed and
individualistic Non-Tigrian business men, the Tigrian racketeers are a highly organized kleptomaniacs that are
exclusively nurtured by the under-table action of the government in a way that:
- Favoring to get loan from state-owned banks with least or no collateral;
- Facilitating the bureaucratic process in the Custom office with least search procedure while this

government office intentionally delays the items that belonged to the Non-Tigrian business men.
- Government toleration for their criminal act of tax evasion.
- For the Tigrian importers, letter of credit will be processed easily and access to hard currency is almost
unlimited; whereas the Non-Tigrians must wait a minimum of 4 to 6 months since their application.
- The government has granted them key business sites under low bid.
- The government conducts special training programs and video conferences to create situational
awareness among them and update them with first hand information. At this point, we must not forget that
nowadays information is equivalent to money.
On top of that, they have been informed /’’trained’’/ and equipped with the following racketeering tactics.
1. Insider Trading: Obviously all key governmental positions are occupied by the Tigrian; which means
any policy or information particularly related with business reaches to the Tigrian racketeers before the
crowd gets it so they adjust everything in advance to suit to the new condition. And due to such a prior
knowledge they net millions from insider trading.
They also have foreknowledge on every government auction however the Non-Tigrians get it lately from news
papers. For insider information equals ‘’money’’ in a modern market economy, it is a great power in the hands
of people who are the most cohesive and organized criminal group like the Tigrian racketeers. As a matter of
fact, insider information is illegal both from moral and law perspective.
2. Dual Set of Ethics: In fact, the Tigrian racketeers have been informed directly or indirectly to practice
a dual set of ethics:
1. I. An altruistic set of ethics for themselves and;
2. II. A predatory one for the rest of Ethiopian people.
- They don’t compete with one another for a single niche of market;
- They don’t interfere with the monopoly controlled by other Tigrian racketeer;
- They are barred from underbidding fellow Tigrian racketeer.
- They are always cooperate with one another so as “not to lose the money of Tigray”
3. Team Strategy: Before we go to how they act in team, let’s see the psychological set up of the Tigrian
racketeers and the Non-Tigrian business men.
The Non-Tigrian have been conditioned to think that everyone must be judged on his or her merits and that it
would be immoral to be biased for his own race. The Tigrian racketeers, on the other hand, have been
conditioned from early time of TPLF to think in terms of the good of their race.
Keeping this fact in mind, what they are practicing is through “Infect to insolvency and then wait to takeover”
approach. For example, if they need to monopolize certain business sector they allocate a calculated sum of
money to under bid the price of item which certainly makes the Non-Tigrian competitor unable to fight with
irrationally low price then put the competitor company into insolvency and finally buy the company itself with

a giveaway price and will apply “the abuse of dominance” once they control the sector.
In general, a cohesive and powerful team effort, dual set of ethics along with insider information consistently
amasses collective power to the Tigrian racketeers over a scattered and individualistic Non-Tigrian.
1.2 By Establishing Extractive Trade Empire: An acronym EFFORT stands for the
TPLF’s multi-billionaire trade empire called Endowment Fund for the Rehabilitation of Tigray. It was established
by expropriating capital equipments from different parts of the country and by the infamous defaulted bank
debts. Currently there is no business sector that is free from the involvement of EFFORT. It stretched from
production to distribution, from finance to insurance, from wholesale to retail, from real-estate to horticulture,
from mining to IT. Peculiarly, this trade empire hasn’t ever been audited by external auditor nor repays the
loan it borrowed periodically.
Similar to the Tigrian private companies, EFFORT is also privileged in the following manner:
- It is awarded government auctions of big projects;
- Favored to borrow in billions without collateral and it is not subject to repayment;
- Equipped with insider information;
- Granted fertile land at a giveaway price by displacing tens of thousands of indigenous people from their
ancestral land;
- Granted key mining sites without open bid;
- Market opportunity will be arranged for it by forcing regional and federal offices to buy products
which haven’t a relevant importance or in an exaggerated quantity.
Surprisingly, almost 99.9% of the employees in these innumerable companies of EFFORT are Tigrian; which
means that majority of the economy is occupied by either the Tigrian private companies or by the extractive
trade empire called EFFORT; and they primarily privileged job opportunity for Tigrians. As the complete cycle
of economic dominance and privileged labor market portrays, we are under a severe economic genocide.
1.3 Stifling of Non-Tigrians’ Business Firms: Obviously the playing ground is not
level; and the whole situation is an uphill battle for Non-Tigrians’ business firms to survive all the barriers that
they faced from the government bureaucracy and from economic sabotage of the highly privileged EFFORT
companies and the cohesive Tigrian racketeers. Consequently, especially after election-2005 we have seen that
many Non-Tigrian businesses have been either liquidated or down-sized.
2.Political Interest
The foremost plan of TPLF was to secede the Tigray region from the rest of the country and to establish a
sovereign republic, as plainly stated in Manifesto-68 which was formulated by the triumvirate of Abay Tsehaye,
Sebhat Nega and Meles Zenawi. However, through time they inferred that a sovereign republic of Tigray would
be a weak and failed state. Then they changed their program to live together as a state-within-a state and
TPLF’s role as a Quasi-Occupying Force.
Similar to the case for economic dominance, TPLF and Tigrians maintain their political dominance using racial
solidarity as weapon against the Non-Tigrian Ethiopians in the following manner:

2.1. Surrogate Colonization /Repopulation/: The TPLF apartheid system has also been
featured with Depopulation and Population-Transfer. The annexation of arable lands of the Amhara region
like Humera, Welkayt, Tsegede, Alamata, Korem and so on, to Tigray province and depopulating the indigenous
Amharas from those places and then replacing with Tigrians is a case in point of the surrogate colonization of
the TPLF regime. The expansion of Tigrians is also continuing in west and north Gondar to annex the North
Mountains after they learned that the North Heights are fields of Gold and other Precious metals.
2.2. Expropriation of Land /Landed Property/ Belonging to A Racial Group: As a
matter of the truth, the people of Gambella have been denied its natural right of living on its ancestral land.
And clearly we know that more than quarter of arable land of the region has been awarded to land grabbers at
a giveaway price by TPLF megalomaniacs. But beside to this, more than 2/3 of the remaining arable land has
been expropriated by Tigrian Mechanized-Farm owners in which it left more than 70,000 indigenous people
for forcible relocation to the place where the soil is dry with poor quality and with no infrastructure. What
worsened the situation was that the deployment of the TPLF mechanized army upon the unprotected civilians
to enforce forcible relocation of the indigenous people. As a result, they became victim of genocide, rape and
conflagration of their villages by TPLF militias.
2.3. Deliberate Denigration of Living Conditions of Non-Tigrian Racial Groups: This
includes:
- Demolishing of business areas under cover story of investment which are mainly occupied by Gurage
business men in the capital city of Addis Ababa. Particularly after election-2005, the Gurages have been profiled
as “Accomplice of Neftegna” and currently as “Ginbot-7 Sympathizers”; and consequently, they are
paying the expensive price ever for the alleged charge.
- Internal deportation and expulsion of hundreds of thousands of the Amhara people from different parts
of the country by confiscation of their tenure and property is also one of the cruelest repressions of the racist
regime of TPLF in order to break the potential resistance from this group by throwing them into absolute
destitution and instability.
2.4. Infliction of Serious Bodily and Mental Harm upon Certain Racial Members: Tens
of thousands of political and Conscience prisoners are concentrated in three federal and 120 regional major
prisons. They are also found in an unofficial detention centers in military camps including in Dedessa, Bir
Sheleqo, Tolay, Hormat, Blate, Tatek, Jijiga, Holeta, and Senqele. Majority of the prisoners are racially Oromo;
and their alleged charge is “Sympathizers of OLF”. The number of Amhara, Gambella and Ogadenese
political and conscience prisoners are also significant.
The condition of these political prisoners is extremely harsh, overcrowded and life threatening. Besides, the
TPLF henchmen often use a series of torture and brutal interrogation to extract confessions including
whipping on the soles of feet, over stretching of limbs, slow dripping of water on the head,
slandering of their race, pulling out of nails, forcible extraction of teeth, weights suspended on
testicles, plunging into spoiled water, solitary confinement in dark cell for long period of time,
signing a confession, forced self-incrimination, threatening with injection of HIV infected blood,
forcing to denounce others, burning with cigarette, insertion of bottle and hot candle into
prisoners’ rectum, drowning into ice cold water for long period of time and beating with rifle
butt, stick, whip, belt etc.
2.5. Access: No matter how the Non-Tigrians have the qualification for the high post in the
army or the security apparatus or for key government offices, they have already been denied by the unwritten

law of TPLF. Access to government-sponsored scholarship at the overseas is also highly secured for Tigrians.
In conclusion, Ethiopia is a country of nations and nationalities. So there must not be room for the socio-
political and economic dominance of single race. All the people of Ethiopia must be treated as an empowered
citizen. The fledgling Tigrian apartheid system must be nipped in the bud before it sparks the bloody genocide.
As a universal truth, no one ever negotiated successfully from weakness, but from strength. It must be our
primary target to be strong. And, I do personally believe that awakening to the truth will make us strong. We
are now in the middle of life-or-death struggle; if we fail to break the yoke of TPLF’s apartheid system the
future of our people, the continuity of our race and the stability of our country will be at stake.
We have left nothing with TPLF; we have been cornered, humiliated, persecuted, harassed, assaulted, exiled,
locked-in jail, tortured, expelled, impoverished by design, confiscated and decimated. We must not have room for
the source of all these evil, TPLF, anymore!!! We must fight it by all possible means until we regain our
freedom!!! We must struggle desperately until we tear apart the reins of the Quasi-Occupiers!!!
On the other hand, the Tigrians must also do their own homework before they are being treated as:
- Accomplice of Criminally guilty TPLF officials;
- Politically guilty as TPLF Supporters;
- Morally guilty as Tigrians;
- And perhaps, metaphysically guilty as Ethiopians.
