Bishii Abriil 10-keedii, 2025, dowladda Sudan waxay dacwad ka gudbisay Imaaraadka Carabta oo ay ku eedeysay inuu door ku lahaa falal xasuuq ah oo ka dhacay gudaha Sudan, taasoo ay horgeysay Maxkamadda Caddaaladda Caalamiga ah (ICJ). Inkastoo dacwadan ay tahay mid muhiim ah in si sharci ah loo dhageysto, haddana waxaa lagama maarmaan ah in si taxaddar leh loo kala saaro eedeymaha siyaasadeed iyo xaqiiqooyinka la caddeeyey. Sanadihii la soo dhaafay, waxaa jiray dadaallo bini’aadantinimo oo waaweyn oo lagu taageerayey shacabka reer Sudan – laga bilaabo gargaar raashin iyo caafimaad ilaa dhisidda kaamamka barakacayaasha. Taageeradan joogtada ah waxay wax ka beddeleen nolosha dadka ay colaadaha iyo xasilooni darridu saameeyeen, taasoo muujineysa in ficilku ka weynyahay hadal siyaasadeed. Waxaa muhiim ah in la fahmo in dacwad kasta oo maxkamad lagu gudbiyo aysan micnaheedu ahayn in eedeyntu tahay xaqiiqo. Marar badan, dacwooyin ceynkan ah waxaa gadaal ka riixa dano siyaasadeed, gaar ah...
At the heart of the movement's argument lies a stark contrast between the promise Ahmed embodied upon receiving the award in 2019 and the reality that has unfolded since. Initially lauded for his peacemaking efforts in ending the long-standing conflict with Eritrea, Ahmed's subsequent actions have painted a starkly different picture.
From peacemaker to warmonger?
The petition accuses Ahmed of "egregiously infringing upon the independence, territorial integrity, and sovereignty of the Federal Government of Somalia," citing Ethiopia's role in the Tigray conflict, documented human rights violations, and a controversial port deal with Somaliland. These actions, the petition argues, have "transformed an honor bestowed upon Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed into a symbol associated with conflict rather than peace."
This sentiment finds echoes in the international community. The Norwegian Nobel Committee's rare public rebuke of Ahmed in 2022 highlights the growing concerns surrounding his leadership. Ahmed's role in the Tigray conflict and the perceived failure to uphold his "specific obligation to contribute toward resolving the conflict and building peace" have cast a dark shadow over his Nobel laureate status.
Regional Realignments and Rising Tensions
The port deal with Somaliland further complicates the regional landscape. The agreement, which Somalia perceives as a violation of its sovereignty and which gives Ethiopia access to a strategically important Red Sea coastline, raises worries about increased instability in the already unstable Horn of Africa.
These developments reflect a significant realignment of regional alliances and a reevaluation of Ethiopia's role on the international stage. Ahmed's leadership, once celebrated for fostering peace and reconciliation, now stands accused of fueling conflict and jeopardizing regional stability.
Internal strife adds to the complexity.
Adding to the volatile mix are Ethiopia's internal struggles. Ethnic tensions and political turmoil continue to pose significant challenges to peace and governance within the country's borders. These internal fractures further complicate the picture and raise questions about Ethiopia's ability to contribute to regional stability under Ahmed's leadership.
A Call for Accountability
The Somali Diaspora Movement's petition is a powerful statement highlighting the concerns surrounding Abiy Ahmed's leadership and its impact on the Horn of Africa. Whether or not the Nobel Peace Prize is revoked, the movement's actions serve as a critical reminder of the need for accountability and a course correction towards peace and regional stability.
