I watched the Kemant Committee’s officer’s interview with the ONN. I have identified the following fallacy in his clarifications:
1) His position is contrary to the previous Kemant Coordinating Committee’s position. The previous committee always used to state the Kemant’s identity as Kemant, the integral part of the Agaw people. The current vice officer’s position is extremely contrary to the facts.
2) His historical analysis is based on legend, not a historical record written by historians about Kemant that confirms the Kemant’s Agawness.
3) He also distorted composition of Agaw Democratic Party (AgDP). He said, the AgDP is the party of Awi and Wag, but his statement is entirely distortion. The founders of AgDP are Kemants by more than 60%. Any concerned body can check this fact from the National Board office.
4) The Vice officer was sort of apologist/sympathetic to the Regional Government, I believe that he is the member of the ruling party, ANDM, who is systematically doing his assignment given by the government. As we know previously, some of the committee members are the members of ANDM.
5) He was also worried about having an office in Mekele. Even though it is false, the Kemant’s or other Agaws’ have rights to have an office in Mekele if they want to. They do not need any permission from the ANDM. The Tigray people our brothers and sisters why not.
Generally, his statement was destructive to maybe for the impending alliance of Oromos, Tigrians and Agaws to ensure durable peace, stability and justice in the region.
His expressed view is damage to the Kemant issue. It has already created confusions from external observers, who want to work in cooperation with the Agaw people. Immediate official clarification required from the Kemant Committee whether this is their position or not.

Dear Kassu & Your Affiliates Party,
We the Kemants people are not measured by one individual whatsoever! We have estimated perhaps accurate number of more than one million Kemants live in more than 72 kebeles for over many hundred years. The so called vice committee gave a controversial speech will not alter our united struggle, target goal, and the outcome of all the Kemant movements.
Agaw is the root of all nation nationalities and the central axis of Ethiopian history, and AgDP is our sister organization. No one will shake that solid foundation. PERIOD
Ato Kassu,
The Committee Public Relations Officer and his conversation with ONN is not the whole committee members behalf. Officer did not learned history about the Agew people and their brothers Qemants. He did not learn politics. He is simply good tegaye. Please do not worry about his mistakes.
I agree with the commenters. Agew and Qemant people are strong brothers having several commonalities. No one will alter this fact. Let us work together to make our people (and generally all the people of Ethiopia if we can) free from any kind of repression.
