🚨 Alliance for Survival Chairman Fano Zemene Kassie announces six-point medium-term plan aimed at removing the @AbiyAhmedAli regime, ending Ethiopia's recurring wars, and safeguarding the survival of Ethiopia's peoples Fano Zemene Kassie, Chairman of the Ethiopian People’s Forces Alliance for Survival (AFS), read the alliance’s latest statement on October 31st, 2026, in the presence of Council members, including TPLF Chairman Debretsion Gebremichael, following the conclusion of its sixth regular Council meeting held from October 30th–31st. During the meeting, the first since the alliance’s establishment was publicly announced, the Council assessed Ethiopia’s political and military situation, regional developments and international relations before approving a six-point medium-term strategic plan aimed at removing the Abiy regime from power and establishing an inclusive political transition. The statement emphasized that AFS is not merely a temporary military alliance formed to overthrow the Prosperity Party government, but a long-term strategic coalition seeking to end Ethiopia’s recurring wars, safeguard the survival of its peoples and establish a democratic political system. The Council accused the Abiy regime of fueling wars and intercommunal violence across Tigray, Amhara, Oromia, Somali, Afar, Sidama, Gambella and other regions. It also warned that Ethiopia’s domestic wars risk expanding into a wider regional war through military confrontations and provocations involving neighboring countries. The six-point strategic plan includes: 1. Strengthening the alliance’s multifaceted struggle against the Abiy regime. 2. Coordinating popular resistance and diplomatic activities inside Ethiopia and across diaspora communities. 3. Strengthening the military and organizational capabilities of AFS member organizations and coordinating operations against regime forces. 4. Expanding cooperation with political parties, civic organizations, intellectuals, diplomats and influential public figures. 5. Strengthening relations and cooperation with the peoples and governments of the Horn of Africa. 6. Expanding diplomatic engagement and media operations. Fano Zemene Kassie also conveyed the Council’s call for AFS member organizations to strengthen military coordination and unity, while emphasizing that Ethiopia’s future political transition must include the active participation of political parties, civic institutions and the broader population. Addressing the international community, the Council declared: “We call upon the entire international community to properly recognize the destructive role being played by the authoritarian, genocidal Prosperity Party regime as an instigator of war and conflict in the region and as a threat to the survival, peace and security of both Ethiopia’s peoples and neighboring countries.” The statement concluded by urging the international community to cooperate with AFS in protecting human and democratic rights and promoting lasting peace and stability throughout the Horn of Africa.
