Today, February 12, 2026, looking back, the speech delivered by Mr. Gedu Andargachew in parliament on August 14, 2023, is regarded as a significant warning sign. At the time, the criticism Gedu Andargachew leveled against Abiy Ahmed’s government was dismissed by officials as either an exaggeration or a political conspiracy. However, Ethiopia's current state of war and instability confirms the political abyss Gedu warned of. The irreconcilable conflicts across various regions of Ethiopia are the consequences of the government’s attempt to resolve through force issues that should have been addressed through dialogue. Gedu stated then that war was not a solution and would lead to the country's collapse. Instead of suppressing opposition, the government's forceful measures have led to an even more devastating civil war.
