Ethiopian Federal Army and Regional Paratroops Deployed in North Gondar, Agaw-Kemant Area
Posted on June 4, 2018 by wlka

Since the beginning of this week, the Ethiopian Federal Army and Regional Paratroops (special forces) have been deployed in Kemant areas:

1) In Chilga Woreda, Kebeles (localities) of Bihona, Chonchock Town, and Negade Bhir

2) In Lay Armachho Woreda: Tikil Dingay Town, Jankikew, Robit Town, Maura and Anbezo

Observers told wlka that the federal army was ordered to enter the region upon the request by the regional government.

The Agaw-Kemants have been in dispute with the government since 2007 following their quest for self-rule, like other Ethiopian nations and nationalities in accordance with Ethiopian Constitution, Article 39, Subarticle 3. The government dismissed the Kemant’s demand against its constitution and consequently created the longstanding dispute. However, recently, the government approved the Kemants to rule, partial districts (69 kebeles), but the Kemant people refused to accept the partial territory and outlined preconditions for inclusion of the districts of Metema and Quara to setup self-rule. Both districts are inhabited by the Kemants an overwhelming majority, 75-80 percent.

The government forces made two wars against the Kemant population previously. In 2015, in the month of November, the regional paratroops lunched war against resident farmers at the district of Maura/Mawra, where 92 government forces were killed, 26 surrender to the farmers and the remaining forces flew to Gondar City. In the same year, in the month of December, about 10,000 men was fielded for military campaigns against Kemant people in districts of Shinfa, Metema, Quara and other areas. According to an available report, in this campaign, more 600 government forces lost their life and 95 Kemants killed, 85 people sustained injuries and more than 25,000 were displaced. The army revenged its defeat by burning 900 houses on fire, 18,000 quintals of grain and taking 38, 000 cattle and goats.
