Op:ED: The privatization of violence: Why chaos is making a comeback in Abiy’s Ethiopia


September 13 -15 2018 will go down history as one of the darkest days in modern day Ethiopia. Most of these individuals were part and parcel of the EPRDF government dominated by TPLF’s (Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front) clique. There were brutal suppression of many university students protests between 1991 and 1998. For EPRDF’s Ethiopia, war was peace; violence was the language of communication between the state’s security and intelligence infrastructure and the people the state governed. It is now becoming clear that this “privatization” of violence has opened the doors to anyone with access to weapons the freedom to kill.
