Addis Ababa, June 22, 2018 (FBC) –The Patriotic Ginbot7 announced today that it has unilaterally suspended all self-defense activities using arms.
“As of today June 22, 2018, Patriotic Ginbot 7 has suspended all self-defense operations using fire arms in all regions of Ethiopia,” it said in a press release.
“Our forces have received strict orders to refrain from any form of armed resistance,” it added.
The party stated the recent move by Prime Minister Dr Abiy Ahmed as reasons for its decision to suspend all self-defense activities using arms.
“The steps being taken by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed have given us a ray of hope that peaceful transition to genuine democracy, our long-standing objective, is a real possibility.”
It further said that the decision is a self-initiated positive step that takes into full consideration the party’s preparedness and determination to foil any attempt to derail the current change process by anti-change elements.
“The unilateral step also considers our role in helping, guiding and encouraging the peaceful struggle underway in Ethiopia,” it added.
The Patriotic Ginbot7 is one of the groups designated as terrorist organizations by the Ethiopian parliament.
However, the soon to be approved pardoning proclamation allows to give a pardon for the party.
