BOMBSHELL: Belarus Pres. Alexander Lukashenko said this during the sideline meeting with PM Abiy Ahmed: "Your neighbours[#Djibouti, #Eritrea,#Somalia...] who don’t understand this are foolish. They have to realise that sooner or later, #Ethiopia will find a way to the sea, through negotiations or through war. It would be better,... show more

Ethiopia teaming up with Belarus feels like two old souls at a retro party, one talking about an ancient mythical empire, the other still reminiscing about the Soviet Union. Together, they’re bringing a whole new meaning to throwback diplomacy. 😂

Belarus was told that "sea access" was denied to Ethiopia by the neighbours. Naturally, Belarus can sympathize to this situation as every landlocked nation has the right....Ethiopia was never denied the access to see.

Lukashenko is a walking punchline, respected only by intellectual equals—if you can call them that. Putin treats him like comic relief, and Abiy Ahmed’s admiration is the cherry on this tragicomic cake. Their absurd alliance perfectly captures the desperation and bizarre nature of Ethiopia’s obsession with the Red Sea. But it’s a doomed fantasy—Ethiopia will remain landlocked, as Somalia has both the means and the will to defend its shores. Keep Dreaming 🛌

He probably didn't understand what the real Ethiopian quest was and must've just thought the boy was talking about port services. Otherwise, how is it possible for him to say something stupid like that? Two landlocked countries also have no authority to determine such matters.

Both Belarusian and Ethiopian leaders are frustrated that their expansionist ambitions have been constrained by neighboring countries. Belarus, being landlocked, has its nearest access to open waters at the Baltic Sea; however, Latvia and Lithuania block its access.

War between Ethiopia 🇪🇹 & Eritrea 🇪🇷 isn’t on the horizon. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 has explicitly stated that Ethiopia has no intention of pursuing war with Eritrea or any other neighboring countries, particularly over the issue of Red Sea access. While Ethiopia views access to the sea as a critical national interest, it prefers a peaceful diplomatic approach over confrontation. As siblings who are scarred by conflict, disagreements are inevitable between Ethiopia & Eritrea but resolving disagreements in a civil and peaceful manner benefit the families straddling the border.

Abiy Set to Invade #Eritrea, Says Senior #Ethiopian Politician Eng. Yilikal Getnet In this honest and revealing interview with Anchor Media, Eng. Yilikal says 'Almost every day, without exception, it is Abiy who declares, “I will invade you, I will destroy you, I will start a war.” What is Eritrea supposed to do in this kind of relentless provocation? Yet, those claiming that a war is imminent between #Eritrea and #Ethiopia are deliberately creating a false balance — portraying both countries as equally responsible. This narrative seeks to divide public opinion, fuel speculation about who is right or who might win, and obscure the simple truth: Abiy Ahmed is the one preparing for war under the pretext of “bringing back #Assab.” If he truly believes this madness serves his interest, let him proceed — and good luck to the few who might follow him. There is no justification for the Ethiopian people to be dragged into another reckless conflict. Such a war would be disastrous, violate international law, and destroy any hope of diplomatic resolution. Therefore, the real headline should not read “Eritrea and Ethiopia Heading to War” — it should state plainly: “Abiy is about to invade Eritrea.” As for Getachew and Tsadkan, who only recently fought a war against Abiy and now seek to align with him in a new one, all that can be said is: good luck again. In the end, the Foreign Policy article’s intent is unmistakable — to fabricate moral equivalence between Eritrea and Ethiopia and make both appear equally culpable in a war that Abiy alone is provoking.'

🇺🇦🇧🇾 During his meeting with Russian Ambassador in Belarus Boris Gryzlov, Alexander Lukashenko announced that he recently held a meeting with the representatives of Ukrainian President Zelensky to address the risk of Belarus getting dragged into the war against Ukeaine. Lukashenko noted that Belarusians don't want to fight with Ukraine, as they would have to shoot "machine operators and milkmaids" from poorly motivated Ukrainian territorial troops. Lukashenko also underscored that Belarus' position is peaceful, but added that it will stand together with Russia in any situation. This comes a week after Zelensky issued what can be considered an ultimatum to Belarus to remove retranslators used to guide Russian strikes on Ukrainian territory and warned against Minsk getting involved further in the war against Ukraine.

If Getachew K Reda is fired or, God forbid, something worse happens, it might be because of his accurate statements that offend Abiy Ahmed's dreams. It doesn't take a genius to see Abiy wants to be king; he dreams of invading Eritrea under the pretext of sea access, when Ethiopia could access the sea through five neighboring countries by making them compete for better terms. Remember, Abiy has removed many prominent Oromo and Amhara elites who once supported him, such as Lemma Megersa, Thai Dendia, Demelash Gebremichael, Sahle-Work Zewde, Jawar Mohammed, and Andargachew Tsige. What is your take on this?

The matter of seats for refugees needs a meaningful debate and the right place to have this debate is Legislative Assembly. Sooner or later everyone will realise this unavoidable reality. The best way to achieve political rights is through political struggle, not agitation.

War always comes against the one who started it. Sooner or later. Don't start wars. Especially when it comes to idiotic wars of aggression against proud nations that love their homelands and will make hell break loose to defend their freedom and their way of life, such as Ukraine. They will find a way to kick the aggressor's ass sooner or later, and the aggressor is not going to like it.

Delusions of Power: 🇪🇹Ethiopian Elites' Misguided Intentions Toward Eritrea 🇪🇷 It’s becoming clear that if Ethiopian elites had the chance, they wouldn't hesitate to destroy Eritrea. But let’s be real—Eritrea exists not because Ethiopia allowed it, but because Eritrea defeated the Ethiopian army and leadership, even when Ethiopia had all sorts of external support. Now, PP cadres pretend they have the power to destroy Eritrea, yet they can't even defeat internal forces like Fano or OLA. Eritreans never had ill intentions toward Ethiopia, but things are changing fast. Ethiopia is burning through civil war, but they still dream of waging war on others.

The Iron Lady has spoken: Congresswoman Ilhan Omar states that no one will be allowed to annex #Somalia’s land. That summarizes her message; however, others with an axe to grind have attempted to expand and distort her words. They should be ignored. Ethiopia’s PM Abiy Ahmed has stated he signed an MoU with a secessionist Somali province (Somaliland), and he also insisted he will grab a land and sea that is Somalia’s, arguing that ‘Ethiopia must have a sea, a port, and a naval base’ peacefully or by force! Somalia sees this dismemberment and annexation pronouncements as a declaration of war and a blatant violation of Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The United States government concurs with Somalia, as do the AU, EU, IGAD, NAM, UN, UK, China, and the UN.

🚨 The Evolution of Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 on Eritrea ◼️Abiy Ahmed on Eritrea in 2022: "Imagine what would have happened if we had not made peace with Eritrea." “The Eritrean people gave them (ENDF) water, fed them food, and armed them. This is something the Ethiopian people need to know and appreciate.” “The Eritrean people have not only shown us that they are our brothers but have shown us through action that they are there for us in trying times.” “For this operation, I want to thank the Eritrean people and their government.” ◼️Abiy Ahmed on Eritrea in 2026: "Some people think, speculate, and analyze that the problem between Ethiopia and Eritrea started when Ethiopian government raised the issue of the Red Sea. But that's not the case. There has been a problem between Ethiopia and Eritrea since the creation of the Eritrean state." "The tension escalated after we captured Axum and moved on, but they went into Axum and massacred the youth." " This issue has no value for today but what I want to mention for the history books is that when youth were massacred in Axum, when Adwa and Adigrat were looted, I have sent several envoys to Eritrea." "I sent him there to tell them that the Tigray people are my people, and to not abuse them or steal from them. And how our fight is with TPLF, not the people of Tigray." "So when we enter Mekelle we knew they (Eritrean forces) would go in and destroy the big city so we said to them, 'if you try to pass Wukro, we will leave Weyane (TPLF) and start fighting you'."

Reports today indicate that Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud is heading to Addis Ababa to meet Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. This is a grave mistake. Ten months ago, the president was detained in Addis while attending the AU Summit. Throughout 2024, Ethiopia and Abiy schemed to dismember Somalia and annex its sea and land. They haven’t stopped. Less than a month ago, Abiy stalled the Ankara negotiations for seven hours, objecting to the inclusion of the phrase “Somalia’s unity will be respected” in the communiqué. Now, the Turkish president is reportedly planning visits to Ethiopia and Somalia to mediate and normalize relations, expected in Addis and Mogadishu within days or weeks. So why rush to Addis now—a country actively scheming against Somalia? Doesn’t the opinion of the Somali people matter? These are the same people who stood by you. Why throw them under the bus? Abiy and his deep state know how to manipulate and push their interests. They’re creating a wedge between you and your people, setting you up for betrayal once they have you exposed. What is wrong with you? Why can’t you read the room? Somalia has built strong allies like Egypt, Djibouti, and Eritrea, who stuck their necks out for Somalia and for you as a leader. They risked and strained their relationships with Ethiopia and Abiy’s enablers—those who wish ill for Somalia. Are you throwing that all away too? Why act as though nothing has happened? This is the same Ethiopia that sought to seize Somalia’s seas 500 years ago, still wants them now, and will likely want them 500 years from today. The irony is that you and your officials privately admit to Somalis that their worst fears about Abiy’s intentions are true—nothing has changed. Instead of engaging with Abiy, focus on making peace with other Somalis. Go to Puntland and assist in their fight against ISIS. Provide them with some of the resources the world has given to Somalia to tackle this terror group. Reconcile with Mogadishu politicians, including the two former presidents, past prime ministers, and opposition MPs. Make peace with Jubaland. That’s how Somalia can move forward, enabling elections and an agreed-upon constitution. You have real internal issues to address—issues that can be solved. Yet, you seem to be chasing a mirage: Ethiopia is a rational state with two clear objectives—to keep Somalia destabilized and to seize its sea. You have said this yourself over the past twelve months. Have you forgotten? Mr. President, Abiy is an intelligence officer, and he is entrapping you. He will not cajole or arm-twist regional leaders who oppose you, and even if he tries, it will come at great cost to Somalia and to you.

'Lets be very clear what is the main reason for this dispute. #Ethiopia already enjoys access to more than ten ports across the #RedSea and the Indian Ocean. It has heavily invested and full access in #Djibouti , holds a 19% stake in #Berbera, uses #PortSudan, and has entry points across #Somalia — even #Kenya has provided corridors and facilities. So the issue isn’t Ethiopia’s access to the sea. The issue is Abiy’s fixation on building naval power — something no sovereign country will ever allow him to base on its own ports. Abiy openly declares, without hesitation or contradiction, that Ethiopia will “secure” its own access to the sea — peacefully or through war. And let’s be clear: they are not talking about a commercial port for trade. Their ambition is far beyond economics.' a #Kenyan expert opines..

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.

This is confirmation from Dr. Baxar, the leader of the Awdal State Movement, that Hassan Sheikh the president of #Somalia has handed over and sent the case of #Awdal to another country, #Djibouti while there tension with #Ethiopia Both the Djibouti and Somali governments prioritize removing Muuse Biixi from the presidency through peaceful and electoral means. I can understand the position of Djibouti (I have written many times that it is a country whose existence depends on the crisis in Somalia, benefiting from Somalia not being settled, Somaliland not being recognized, Awdal not having political independence, and Ethiopia not having sea access). What cannot be explained and will be left for history is the decision of Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. Handing over the case of Awdal to another country is nothing but national betrayal, and it will be marked down in

#Ethiopia: “If there is any Ethiopian who believes that Ethiopia will forever remain a geographic prisoner, that person is a dead one,” PM Abiy Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has reiterated his government’s position that Ethiopia “must be relieved from the shuttered doors and the isolation” that he believes has contributed to its poverty. He made the remarks at the inauguration of his latest book, Medemer, on Tuesday night. “It is not wise to assume that a country as large as Ethiopia should be handed to our children while encapsulated,” Abiy said while ruling out the prospects of “conflict and war.” However, he said that Ethiopians should not believe in the notion that Ethiopia will remain "a geographic prisoner." Watch.

We are about to bomb the fuck out of Belarus and I'm proud of that. Zelenksyy: At the level of intelligence and the military, Belarus has repeatedly received information to stop assisting the russians. Lukashenko needs to demonstrate de-escalation, not just with the words "I'm sorry". He should keep his "I'm sorry" to himself. If Lukashenko doesn't remove the retransmitters, we will remove them. This will happen in a week. Either they or we will do it.
