Condemnation Statement on the Eliminationist Rhetoric Attributed to Fetlewerk Gebreziher Nega, TPLF War Criminal and Genocider!!

The Agaezi National Union (ANU) expresses profound concern regarding a statement attributed to Ms. Fetlewerk Gebreziher Nega (TPLF Mafia Genocider) that, according to a video recording reviewed and preserved by ANU, states:

“The only loyal Tigrian is a dead Tigrian.”

ANU has preserved the video recording and is releasing it as supporting evidence so that the public, researchers, media organizations, and human rights institutions may independently examine its authenticity, context, and content.

If dying or being a sacrifice is a criteria to be loyal for Tigray, why Fetlwerk Gebreziher Nega and her relatives still don’t do that? Why doesn’t she sacrifice her child? Why doesn’t she sacrifice all the Sebhat Nega and Gebreziher Nega family who are all in power and billionaires by sucking the innocent blood of Tigray people and beyond?

The Agaezi National Union (ANU) unequivocally and in the strongest possible terms condemns any statement by a public official, political leader, or influential figure that advocates, glorifies, or appears to legitimize the death of members of an identifiable community. Such rhetoric is morally reprehensible, fundamentally incompatible with the principles of human dignity, equality before the law, democratic governance, and internationally recognized human rights. There can be no justification for language that dehumanizes human beings, promotes collective hatred, or undermines the sanctity of life.

Accurately represented, the statement attributed to Fetlewerk Gebreziher Nega constitutes a form of eliminationist rhetoric that appears to equate loyalty with death and portrays an identifiable community in dehumanizing terms. Commentators have compared such rhetoric to the phrase historically attributed to General Philip Sheridan, “The only good Indian is a dead Indian,” which has long been condemned as emblematic of language that dehumanizes an entire people. Regardless of historical context, rhetoric that denies the humanity or legitimacy of a community has repeatedly been associated with heightened political polarization, the normalization of hostility, and the erosion of respect for civilian life.

History demonstrates that portraying an entire community as collectively disloyal, dangerous, or expendable abandons the fundamental principle of individual responsibility in favor of collective condemnation. Such rhetoric has no place in a constitutional democracy founded on the rule of law, equal citizenship, peaceful political competition, and respect for the inherent dignity and equal rights of every human being.

Political leaders and influential public figures carry a heightened ethical responsibility because their words can shape public attitudes and influence the conduct of supporters. Responsible leadership requires careful language that promotes coexistence, mutual respect, and peaceful dialogue rather than expressions that may be understood as endorsing hatred or violence against identifiable communities.

ANU therefore reaffirms the following principles:

• Every individual possesses equal dignity and equal protection under the law.
• Political disagreement must never become a justification for dehumanization or collective punishment.
• Public officials and political organizations should reject language that could reasonably be interpreted as encouraging hatred or violence.
• Accountability, constitutional governance, and respect for fundamental human rights are essential foundations of a peaceful society.

ANU calls upon political leaders, civil society organizations, religious institutions, academics, media professionals, and the international community to promote responsible public discourse rooted in evidence, respect, and the peaceful resolution of political differences.

The future of Ethiopia depends upon replacing narratives of hatred and collective condemnation with constitutionalism, justice, accountability, and reconciliation. Lasting peace cannot be achieved through rhetoric that diminishes the value of human life. It can only be built upon respect for the equal dignity, rights, and humanity of every individual.
