TPLF denying access and humanitarian assistance to famine affected regions

The minority tribal junta led by the Tigre Liberation Front (TPLF) of Meles Zenawi is reportedly denying humanitarian assistance and access by international humanitarian agencies and journalists to areas devastated by famine especially in eastern, Central and Southern Oromia region of Ethiopia; and the Ogaden region.
Community leaders and local humanitarian aid workers confirmed to Ogaden forum that the TPLF regime is denying access either alleging there is no famine in those parts of country or by telling them that the regime will not guarantee the security and safety of aid agency staffs and journalists.

Ogaden forum reporters have also confirmed that severely affected all regions of Ogaden and also they  have not received any humanitarian assistance for the last three years. any assistance by the starving  somali Ogaden people in those regions are not answered by Tigre ethnic minority regime that has been in power for the last two decades with the support and help of the Western powers.

Critics have called it out that the Tigre Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF) regime is using famine to break the political will of rival Oromo and Amhara people to completely subjugate these two largest ethnic groups in the country.
Reports also indicate that there are alarmingly high rate of disappearance of prominent community leaders, professionals, farmers and students in famine affected regions of Ogaden a testament to the political nature of the ongoing Ethiopian famine.

Survey of aid operation agencies in famine affected Ogaden regions of Ethiopia also indicates that humanitarian assistance, where provided, are carried out and operated under the direct control of TPLF
We have previously noted, over the last two decades, the brutal and most repressive ethnic apartheid policies of the TPLF under Mr. Meles Zenawi have effectively shifted famine from northern  and southeastren Ethiopia to hitherto food self sufficient regions of  Ogaden,Oromia and Amhara.

These worrying situation demands particular attention of donor countries and international organizations particularly the United States, the European Union, the United Nations, the World Bank, IMF and humanitarian organizations to strictly scrutinize the aid delivery systems, the ethnic apartheid policies of the regime and the dire need of the people in the famine affected areas instead of showering the TPLF tribal junta with Western taxpayers hard earned dollars.
