Ethnic isolation accompanied by promid development and other “payoffs” for “your group” in exchange for your compliance with the EPRDF government of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi is a favorite approach by this regime.
On April 26, 2008 four Ethiopian government-sponsored delegates from Gambella, Ethiopia and one from the Ethiopian Embassy in Washington D.C. met with the Anuak community and some Nuer in Minnesota and Nebraska. The delegation included: Two Anuak, two Nuer (one is vice president), One Mazengir (speaker of the hou in Gambella, other two, minister of transportation and the other minister of Diaspora.
If the Ethiopian government-sponsored delegates who recently came thought they could buy, flatter and persuade the Anuak in the Diaspora into forgetting about the Anuak massac
re of 2003 and other gross crimes and injustices, they underestimated the intelligence and memory of their audience. They clearly did not succeed in doing so at their meeting in Minneapolis; nor will they succeed later on this month when the cond delegation, led by the Chief Administrator or the current governor of Gambella, Mr. Omot Obang Olum travels to Canada.
Mr. Omot Obang Olum, is one of tho TPLF or Woyane considered to have the blood of the Anuak on his hands and the stain is still there. In fact, it was the blood of the Anuak that gave him entry into the fellowship of the EPRDF and with it, the post of governor of Gambella. He is one of the thousands of Ethiopians from different ethnic groups who have gained access to special perks by virtue of their loyalty to the EPRDF.
Together with the government of Meles Zenawi, they hold the whole nation hostage through applying the “right tactics”—fear, intimidation and human rights abus for some, but favors, opportunities and a full assortment of bribes for others. The former do not work so well outside the country and therefore, the “ambassadors bearing gifts” from th
e regime have been trying to silence their critics in the Diaspora for the last year by offering invitations, opportunities and investments in the country. Until this meeting, the Anuak and other people of Gambella have been ignored, but for some reason, they have now been approached with such offers.
However, most of the Anuak who attended the meeting were outraged by the presumption that they could be “bought” when what was really needed was even a little acknowledgement of the government’s direct involvement in the perpetration of the horrific crimes committed starting on December 13, 2003. Other crimes before and after have also involved additional Anuak as well as other people in the region—the Nuer, Mazenger, Komo, Opo and others from the highland—who have all suffered due to the actions and policies of this government.
Additionally, the people of Gambella know very well how the EPRDF plays the game of divide and conquer in order to create conflict between them, purpoly to gain more control of the region and its resources. Many lives have been lost as a result and nothing
this government can offer will ever be able to compensate for the deep and painful loss of family members, friends, community leaders and neighbors.

Instead, the reprentatives spoke of all the “promising” development being planned for the Gambella region, inviting tho in the Gambella Diaspora community to “come back” to contribute to the development in the region now that they had an education. This should not have been the subject of the first meeting with the Anuak since the massacre.

Instead, the promis of “perks” for Gambellans was clearly another “divide and conquer” game by a government
well-known to offer “gifts” and “special perks” to some who are willing to “cooperate” while terrorizing others elwhere.
They offered development, but the Ethiopian National Defen Forces had destroyed a significant amount of infrastructure. For instance, before December 2003, there were 119 working wells; afterwards, only 5. Before this date, there were 22 health clinics; afterwards, there were 7 clinics, stripped of all supplies. Before this date, there were 136 schools in operation, but afterwards, only 27.
