The security council has positively evaluated that there is peace in the region, the weakness of bandit groups, the rehabilitation of displaced people is improving, and the unfinished work that needs to be done.
security issuesAmong these are the actions of destroying the bandits that are moving around the border in collaboration with Shene and the Junta, re-establishment of the government, and helping the armed forces that have arrived safely to return to a peaceful life.
The council stated that it is firm belief that the regional leaders, security forces and the people will do these things in the remaining days.
The security council has evaluated that the peace and security that is being done in the southern region is getting better results than the previous ones.
Work is being done to identify organisation issues arising from nationalities and solve them in a way that will benefit the country and the people.
As there is a situation to solve questions, a force that can be organized regularly and creates pressure is being seen in a peaceful situation.
The Security Council has given a direction that the shene movement that is seen in the hazy areas should be removed with the neighbouring regions; to identify the questions and complaints raised with the regional organization and to solve them in a legal and peaceful manner; to prevent the questions of intervention to be used for illegal activities, the appropriate measures should be taken by identifying the actors who are interested in identifying and taking appropriate measures.
The security council has confirmed in its review that important measures have been taken to prevent, resist and eliminate security threats arising from inside and outside.security issues
The region’s special force has played a major role in destroying the Alshabab force that tried to enter Afder zone Bare and Got Got districts on July 14.
The regional administration has made an educational activity to destroy the enemy by awakening, participating and organising the people. A command post has been established in which the national defense force has participated. 813 terrorists have been killed and 79 have been wounded in this operation.
A large number of weapons, fire bullets, grenades and communication radios were seized.
Even though security forces are being strengthened to identify threat lines to control contraband, they are still unable to properly control illegal activities, tribal leaders and their leaders are not working properly to resolve conflicts between tribes, disciplinary deficiencies seen in the implementation of peace orders, and to ensure internal peace by eliminating Alshabab’s fears. The security council has shown that there is work in the review.
The security council has confirmed that efforts are being made to control contraband activities in Afar region, especially the security of the main Ethio-Djibouti line have been made, and efforts to solve the security problems by talking with neighbouring regions.
In contrast, the council has evaluated that contraband trade with the help of the enemy is changing its behaviour, expanding its horizons, there is a gap in coordination between the security forces, and there is not enough work done to resolve tribal conflicts responsibly. Therefore, in the future, these important issues will get attention and will be implemented in a way that can bring appropriate results.
Dear Ethiopians,
It is an open truth that the government has taken a direction and has taken action to solve the situation in Tigray by negotiation. It is known that the government is determined to continue until the negotiation brings results.security issues
The security council has evaluated the threat situation in that area from the report and confirmed that the situation is under the control of the security forces and that they are being monitored properly.
Based on the review, he has set out directions on what needs to be done by the leadership and the security forces.
Overall, by reducing internal vulnerability, ensuring national security, a huge positive change has come to light, and security issues are not only given to the government, it has been understood from the review that the people are taking the responsibility.
On the other hand, the security council has observed that the works are not completed yet, the peace and security structure is not as good as expected, the work of building the strong mentality of the leaders and the people has not been done properly, and the junta has not done enough to ensure the coordination it wants with internal and external forces.security issues
He assessed that if these issues are not handled with proper attention and determination, the relative peace will not be sustainable.
Therefore, he has put a direction that the following actions should be carried out by the leadership, the security forces and the people’s commitment and sacrifice.
1. Taking terrorists and illegal gunmen to a level where they are no longer a threat.
2. Discussing with the people, marrying armed bodies, engaging the youth in peaceful activities, and doing things that ensure lasting peace.
3. By clarifying and strengthening the judicial bodies, making them do what is required for the country’s peace and security.
4. Making the people happy by taking drastic measures against the economic crisis, corruption, contraband, illegal money transfer etc.
5. By clarifying the current leadership and widening accountability, creating a competent, active and ready leadership at every step.
6. Working with those concerned to prevent public and religious holidays, ethnic and administrative settlement issues, the enemy’s fulfilment of his objective and the peace of the people.
7. Between Afar and Issa, we should do the appropriate political and security work to sustainably resolve the security concerns that are seen in the Amhara region of the Oromo people zone.
8. To prevent Alshabab from working with internal and external forces to increase the threat, to conduct integrated security forces and people’s order and to prevent it from being a meaningful force in the future are our next actions.security issues
We have learned from our past work that when the leadership, the security structure and the people work together, what kind of good results will be achieved.
It is necessary to continue this in the future. Every action should be counted and taken responsibility, review every time, encourage those who have done it and punish those who do not fulfil their responsibility. It is important to believe that the peace and security that is being done in every area will strengthen the peace of Ethiopia. The whole thing is the result of the sum of the luxuries, sometimes more than the sum of the pluses. In order to improve the overall security and security situation, each of us should perform the grainy work we are assigned to in quality and efficiency.
He has said in one word that our people will be an active participant in the development of Ethiopia by ensuring their peace and security. The discussion we have regularly should not be one that we hear new reasons, but should be one that reduces problems and ensures peace and security.
This will be achieved by understanding the plan properly, implementing the necessary steps and working hard for the result till the end. Therefore, the National Security Council calls on the leaders at every level, the security force and the people to speak as one word, as one heart advisor to ensure the peace and security of Ethiopia and to make it a reality.
