Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>war in Ethiopia is not a civil war. It\u2019s a war on Ethiopia by the United States, the proxy partner of TPLF,\u201d a Canadian international criminal law expert said.<\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview with ENA, John Philpot said \u201cI consider this not an academic or intellectual discussion. I think that the war in Ethiopia is not a civil war. It\u2019s a war on Ethiopia by the United States, the proxy partner of TPLF. And this is not resolved by everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Canadian international criminal law expert noted that diplomats of Europe and the US favor the TPLF.<\/p>\n

\u201cI consider proxy wars which are directed from outside or forms of aggression in the same way that Hitler invaded the Soviet Union. It was a form of aggression.\u201d<\/p>\n

This aggression on Ethiopia is a form of aggression; and it should be treated as such \u2014 just like a proxy war in Syria, Philpot stated, adding that these are issues in international law that are going to be resolved in the next 10 or 20 years.<\/p>\n

Further elaborating about the situation in Ethiopia and colonialism, the expert stressed that the country was never colonized. But Africa freed itself from 1950 to 1975 more or less.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow there aren\u2019t that many full colonies; but there\u2019s neo-colonialism, which is just about as damaging. In the present, the fight is quite largely against neo-colonialism and it\u2019s a challenge being met by your country. It has answered the challenge extremely well than other countries,\u201d he underscored.<\/p>\n

Commenting about the recent resolution of the UN Human Rights Council, the legal expert said the UN now wants to have a new investigation on Ethiopia, and the Government of Ethiopia has refused.<\/p>\n

The government is right to do so, Philpot stated, adding that if you look at the vote in the council the great majority of them are from white neo-colonial countries and their close allies. It was a Western attempt to intervene because human rights are \u201cour political tool.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201c the sovereignty of Ethiopia and others come before human rights. This, of course, doesn\u2019t mean that a country can kill its own people. I\u2019m not saying that is all right.\u201d<\/p>\n

The criminal law expert underlined, \u201cI am convinced that your country has to defend itself within its own borders. You have a country that has a tremendous potential to be a shining light in the entire African continent.\u201d<\/p>\n
