History of MBMP P.L.C
Its name Messebo is derived from the name of nearest mountain known as “messebo” which is located around Mekelle town 780 KM far away to the north of Addis-Ababa in Tigray regional state. It is not far from the border of Sudan the nearest sea port is Djibouti and around 10 KM far apart from mekelle city.
In 1978 the Tigrayan peoples liberation front (TPLF) the main party within the ruling Ethiopian people‟s revolutionary democratic front (EPRDF) created the relief society of Tigray (REST) ,a financial umbrella organization of the TPLF which acted as an NGO. Despite headed by a TPLF central committee members. It collected donations from the international community & challenged to the TPLF, playing a key role in the survival & ultimate victory of TPLF over the dreg.
After the rise of TPLF, the TPLF to power in 1991 REST was formally registered with the government relief rehabilitation commission in Ethiopia as an NGO.
As the TPLF is financial backbone, it continued enjoy the state protection & the restructured organization emerged as the richest “NGO” in the continent. In 1995 about four years after it took to control of central power in Ethiopia, the TPLF established a stronger peer for REST and the endowment fund for the rehabilitation of Tigrey (EFFORT). EFFORT started its business venture with an investment volume of about 2.7 billion birr then just under US $1billion. Though EFFORT, the TPLF has considerably diversified its economic activities & expands its outreach even to foreign countries.
The TPLF also benefits of EFFORT by ordering free transfer of fund from government accounts often under a bogus claim of services that TPLF institutions offered to the public. It allows free flow of goods in the name of EFFORT without customer & taxes but EFFORT is allowed to complete with for profit business of the company through its tentacle bureaus. Thus MBMP P.L.C was built with public expenditure at a cost of 1.5 billion birr.
