Effectively, Abiy Ahmed and Demeke Mekonnen are making the Federal Police and National Army redundant and irrelevant from their duties to protect citizens. Medemer (unitary) was supposed to be the pinnacle of Abiy Ahmed starting in office. Referendum on Federalism or Medemer (unitary) system of government could have been the best solution to start with for Abiy Ahmed. The people of Tigray supported Abiy Ahmed initially with an open arms hoping that he will bring about tangible reforms to all Ethiopians. Abiy Ahmed underestimates the fallout with his supporters and non-supporters could undermine Ethiopia’s sovereignty and unity.
