Arkebe Okbay — a prominent #Ethiopian politician and former Mayor of Addis Ababa and is currently an executive board member of Global Center on Adaptation based in #Netherlands — lays out the hard truths about port ownership and exposes the very same fallacies the Prosperity Party is recycling today. He delivers clear warnings to those he describes as “infected with port fever”: If you claim you will take back ports by force, then explain how. #Ethiopia has already sacrificed nearly a million young people, including university students, in past wars to occupy #Eritrea, If you claim you will regain ports peacefully, then tell us what new method you possess that Haile Selassie and the Derg did not already attempt. He states that the EPRDF’s choice was a principled one — to avoid endless bloodshed, respect international norms, and honor the UN-supervised referendum through which the #Eritrean people won their independence. And finally, he states: Eritrea is a sovereign nation. International law applies. You cannot seize ports or land that do not belong to you. Arkebe is very eloquent and clear in his message and one Abiy should heed before he reaches a breaking point that he can not return.

Abiy is wrong on every front—and he’s not the first to follow this misguided path. Unfortunately for him, he has completely discredited himself. Someone needs to remind him to be careful; his over-ambition is becoming reckless. He imagines himself as a reincarnated Menelik II, chasing the old dream of reaching the sea, just as Haile Selassie once did. Now Abiy believes he can revive that ambition and has even declared he is willing to go to war to achieve it. #Ethiopia is once again talking in the language of irredentism and it is isolated. But the world is not buying it. Egypt, Turkey, and the United States have all said no. Abiy has miscalculated spectacularly—he stands isolated. Even the Nobel Prize he once boasted about is now viewed with regret in Europe. Kenya, too, must say no...... A Kenyan expert said.

The last time Abiy Ahmed’s forces were defeated by #Tigrayan forces and fled #Tigray with their tails between their legs, this was the reason he gave for their defeat and the excuse he offered. “Once we entered Tigray, we were forced to split our soldiers into smaller units to fight the TDF across Tigray’s mountainous terrain. This made it difficult for us to fight them under those conditions. “The population kept asking us to protect them in their respective villages. But when we left small military units in those villages, the villagers would come out at night and bludgeon our soldiers. “This created enormous pressure and disruption within our military forces. In order not to create a dark chapter in history or be blamed by the international community, we decided to withdraw and give the people of Tigray time to reflect on the situation. “It would also give us time and space to retreat to the Amhara region, where we knew we could not be attacked from behind.” So the question one must ask today is, how long will it take for Abiy Ahmed to give the Tigray people time to reflect/contemplate and withdraw his soldiers from Tigray, and will the Amhara region give Abiy's forces a sanctuary to regroup and attack again? many questions....

The renowned Ethiopian scholar Prof. Ezkiel Gabbisa warns Abiy Ahmed's PP: “Let history teach you that this hubris—‘we are 200 million against 2 million’—is meaningless. Numbers do not determine sovereignty.” He stresses the importance of historical honesty, reminding viewers that it was the imperial government that illegally dissolved the #Eritrea–#Ethiopia Federation, and that is where the conflict began. “Do not twist or mutilate history,” he cautions, “or you will repeat it.” He argues that PP is on a dangerous path, attempting to undo what was settled under the EPRDF by pushing the country toward another war—one that would be bloody on both sides and solve nothing. His message is clear: allow introspection, accept responsibility, and make an effort to understand the other side. BBC News (World) BBC News Africa Reuters Africa Reuters TRT Afrika Bloomberg

The body of evidence of Abiy threatening to take #Assab, #Eritrea by force is innumerable, but what he says internally and to the international community is different in language. The following is just one example of him asking #US, #China, #Russia, #Europe, #Africa, to act as intermediary and resolve the issue. He goes on to say ....If they refuse to take us seriously & continue to waste time, they should not expect us to sit idly,I don't think so’ The following is a verbatim translation of his speech in his parliament.. ‘It is possible to resolve it legally and negotiation! I have spoken to many countries bilaterally. If the council wants to know the identity of these countries… I have spoken to #America, #China, #Russia, #Europe, #Africa… and I want to say before the Honourary Council that Ethiopia’s access to the sea is beyond question. Because I prioritise peace and negotiation before anything, I have politely asked them to act as intermediaries and help resolve the issue. This is our question! If they refuse to take us seriously & continue to waste time, they should not expect us to sit idly,I don't think so’ U.S. Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs U.S. Embassy Addis MFA Russia 🇷🇺 Chinese Embassy in Eritrea Chinese Mission to UN African Union 杜晓晖DU Xiaohui CHINA MFA Spokesperson 中国外交部发言人 European External Action Service - EEAS 🇪🇺 Annette Weber Reuters The Economist BBC News Africa TRT Afrika Nobel Peace Center The Nobel Prize

No wonder Abiy never gave a single interview in English with any International Media. All the diatribe he regurgitates in Amharic/Afan Oromo to convince &confuse the gullible PP congregation can never pass with the international audiences. His premiership would be discounted by 7 years 🤣🤣

If everyone wants to play dumb and ignore the incontrovertible evidence right in front of our eyes that Abiy has been planning to start a war against Eritrea, they are free to do so. But as Eritreans, we do not have that luxury. Abiy agreed in 10th March 2022 with Tsadkan and Taddese to attack #Eritrea in Seychelles, before the Pretoria agreement. Here is Getachew Reda talking about the meeting in Seychelles between Tsadkan Gebretensae and Tadesse Werede and representatives of Abiy’s government, while they were still in the middle of the war, before the Pretoria Agreement. Getachew says: “Look, the meeting in Seychelles was generally good. It was attended by Tsadkan and Tadesse. The Federal Government said, ‘Let’s not make the Tigray issue the agenda; we should focus on our common agenda.’ And they agreed on the issue of attacking Eritrea.” BBC News Africa TRT Afrika TRT World BBC News (World) Reuters Africa Reuters DW News DW Amharic

A few years back, Getachew Reda was asked, “How long can Abiy possibly stay in power?” His answer was once again eerily candid. He described Abiy as a “bandit who got power by mistake,” and said that while we are defending Tigray, if doing so also shortened Abiy’s time in power, “so be it.”

Why is #Africa cursed with leaders like this? Uhuru Kenyata's net worth is estimated to be Half a Billion US dollars. The AU sent him to witness an election that puts even Idi Amin Baba to shame. And here is what he said early morning before #Ethiopians went to the ballot box.

The warning signs of a fragmenting #Ethiopia are becoming harder to ignore. The President of the Somali Region (Mustafe Mohammed Omer) is openly discussing about the breakup of the #Ethiopian state, admitting that he had prepared the Somali region to secede if the TPLF were to return to power. That admission speaks volumes about the state of Ethiopia under Abiy Ahmed. It depicts one ethnic region is unwilling to be governed by another, and where the prospect of TPLF leadership is seen as a trigger for the country's disintegration. In this video he clearly states that, as TPLF forces advanced toward Addis Ababa, his overriding concern was not to fight for his country, but breaking the Somali Region away from Ethiopia. This raises an obvious question: what calculations were being made by Abiy at the time? may be seceding Oromia? The current fragile state of Ethiopia demands leadership capable of leading the country peacefully —not presiding over its slow unraveling.

A Kenyan politician specializing in foreign relations and security put it bluntly: “It is #Ethiopia that stands accused of irredentism.” He added that Addis Ababa now finds itself increasingly isolated — with virtually every major actor, from the #US and #SaudiArabia to #China, the #ArabLeague, and multiple #African states — telling Ethiopia that its approach is unacceptable, leaving the country on the defensive diplomatically. He stressed that it is perfectly normal for a landlocked state to seek sea access through bilateral agreements with its neighbours — #Eritrea, #Djibouti, or #Somalia. But it becomes an entirely different matter when a country starts entertaining the idea of seizing territory by force, imposing a naval base, and projecting military power at the expense of its neighbours. According to him, even Ethiopia’s closest partners have made it clear: this path is beyond the pale.

Please help me make sense with these two video clips of Abiy flirting with Ramophosa. First Video: Abiy is clearly heard saying 'I will give you a house' Second Video: Abiy is heard saying 'Africa is missing two great leaders' referring to himself and Ramophosa. As I said, help me make sense of these videos! #Ethiopia

Two years ago, Abiy Ahmed Ali Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 said to his parliament "#Ethiopia's history will never forget its indebtedness to the people & government of #Eritrea. We will never deny or forget what Eritrea did for Ethiopia in our hour-of-need and when everybody abandoned Ethiopia"

Berhanu Nega may have just delivered the most devastating blow to Abiy’s delusional politics, issuing a resignation statement from his party that doubles as a stark warning about #Ethiopia’s bleak political future. In an hour-long speech he gave a damning account of the deep chaos and uncertainty facing the country. Whatever Berhanu’s ultimate objective may be, the address is a must-listen. Although, the government-aligned TV stations appear to have cut some of the most damaging portions of his remarks, what remains is still politically explosive. Among the striking admissions and warnings he delivered were: “We have failed politically as a country.” "We have made Ethiopia's economy even much worse than it was 60 years ago, where 80% of our population is still expecting to be fed using stone-age agricultural practices" “It is unthinkable to live in Ethiopia—a country of many ethnicities and religions—while we have institutionalized politics based on ethnicity and religion.” “Given the way our politics is structured, it is impossible to believe we can continue as a functioning society.” “We must pull ourselves away from backstabbing and accusatory politics. We must listen to each other and abandon the ‘my way or the highway’ mentality, as well as the illiterate hubris of thinking only about ourselves without regard for the consequences for others.” “Politics must not become a space from which wise and capable people flee, leaving it to be dominated by boisterous and unintelligent voices.” “We should refrain from turning those with different ideas into mortal enemies.” “If we do not change our ways now, it is hard to imagine what the fate of our country will be.” “If we continue practicing politics the way we do today, we will not withstand the major changes taking place around us.” Taken together, these remarks amount to a rare public acknowledgment from within Ethiopia’s political elite that the country’s current political structure is unsustainable.

The entire population of the Horn of #Africa — #Ethiopia, #Eritrea, #Somalia, #Sudan, and #Djibouti — who took the time to watch Abiy’s staged interview yesterday must have been left wondering whether he truly believes he can mislead and persuade simply by reading from a teleprompter, all while preparing the ground for yet another war against #Tigray and #Eritrea. Five years ago, after delivering another awkward Tigrinya-language interview — much like the one he gave yesterday — Abiy read the following statement from a teleprompter to declare war on Tigray! The depth of delusion he appears to be operating under is difficult to comprehend. Who does he think will believe him this time? In this statement given (reading from teleprompter in November 2020), he declared: “In a relatively short period of time, we will accomplish our objectives and create a conducive environment for our people in Tigray. We will exercise due care to protect law-abiding and peaceful citizens from harm… Ultimately, this rule-of-law enforcement operation will enable sustainable peace and stability throughout the country.”

Abiy Ahmed's current advisor, Getachew Reda, was once asked: "Do the military parades and displays being staged by Abiy remind you of the final days of Mengistu Haile Mariam and Muammar Gaddafi?" Getachew replied: "I do not wish ill upon Comrade Abiy, but the parallels are striking. These displays reveal a deep sense of insecurity rather than confidence. In my view, his latest military spectacle is intended to intimidate and instill fear among the public. Those who are insecure often make the most noise. As the Eritreans say, an empty vessel makes the loudest sound."

I’ve been waiting for this great news. Ximdo’s pioneering activist Awel Seid has announced that he will soon publish detailed evidence tracing the origins of the Tigray genocide allegations, accompanied by a comprehensive documentary supported by verified materials and interviews of crimes committed by Abiy Ahmed’s forces during the Tigray war, as well as testimonies from military leaders confirming that many Tigrayans—who were on the verge of being killed by Abiy’s troops—were in fact saved by the Eritrean Defence Forces. As always, every aspect of the conflict has been meticulously documented in the characteristic manner of the Eritrean forces.
