Communique on the Imperatives of Post-Conflict Peace, Reconciliation and Reconstruction in Ethiopia (Vision Ethiopia )Ethiopians in the Amhara and Afar regions continue to sacrifice their precious lives and resources as a consequence of the raging war instigated by the terrorist groups, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) and the Oromumma extremist wing of the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF Shene). In our view, a paramount imperative in the post-conflict peace-building effort is a firm position against internal and external pressure to submit to the demands of terrorists for negotiation and equal treatment. Vision Ethiopia acknowledges the central government’s recent rejection of calls for negotiations with the terrorist groups and encourages the government to remain unwavering in upholding this position. We believe that terrorist groups and their leaders who have committed egregious crimes against humanity should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of national and international laws. As elucidated in our communique of December 27, 2021, the Board of Vision Ethiopia strongly believes in the imperative for a national dialogue that is pivoted in truth, justice and reparation, without any interference by the government.
