In Ethiopia’s voter registration process ahead of today’s election, local cadres are alleged to have systematically filled out voter registration cards in the names of people who never appeared at registration centers and, in some cases, individuals who do not even exist. According to sources, officials were instructed to register 1,500 voters per polling station regardless of the actual number of applicants. Opposition figures claim the practice was intended to conceal low registration rates caused by ongoing conflicts in the Amhara and Oromia regions and to create the appearance of high voter turnout. Most recently, stacks of pre-filled voter registration cards reportedly emerged as further evidence supporting these allegations.

“Do not think for a moment that what Israel has initiated in Somaliland will remain limited to Somaliland. This has been a project underway for a very long time. What they aim to do is to create an Israel-aligned satellite state at the exit of the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, thereby encircling Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia on one side, and Yemen on the other provoking a new civil war there. But do you know what the most important part is? They intend to take the Palestinians there. This is what their secret agreement is about. Now, we must fight against this with the utmost determination and resolve.” —Former Turkish PM Ahmet Davutoğlu
