The most courageous choose peace.
Director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, I lived and worked as an assistant professor at Mekelle University for 4 years and one year in Addis Ababa and experienced that the TPLF and its Tigray civil society and Ethiopian communities are well-known for deep-rooted open corruption, plundering local, regional, national, and international funds, and sexual exploitation of girls and women at schools, colleges, and universities.
Tigray, or Ethiopia, is known for killing sexual minorities openly in public places. Sexual minorities have been criminalized for centuries in Ethiopia. Ethiopia, as I knew it, was a place for crimes against humanity just like the Indian State. Are you saying you have peace when you have been killing, persecuting, and criminalizing sexual minorities for thousands of years? You never advocate for LGBTQ rights in Ethiopia other than advocating for the lives of hegemonic masculinities and femininities. Do you think sexual minorities deserve death?
You are one of the architects of criminalizing sexual minorities in Ethiopia, along with your former prime minister, Meles Zenawi Asres. The LGBTQ communities have been criminalized and publicly killed by Ethiopian State and its civil society till today.
“There will be no death penalty, extrajudicial killings, or judicial killings. Judicial killing is a crime against constitutional morality, and extrajudicial killing is a crime against humanity. Even criminals have the right to life in prison.” Dr.Suryaraju Mattimalla
