In terms of shear geography, Oromia is about SEVEN folds of Tigray. OLA now controls about half of Oromia or a territory over thrice of Tigray—excluding the Wollo Oromo areas in Amhara region. Criticisms on “slow advance” of OLA towards Finfinne are therefore unsubstantiated.

Military Generals with strategic thoughts say persecuting a war is like playing a chess ♟game. One shouldn’t be anchored on winning a battle at every square on dashboard, but the war. I somehow understand this logic cus I play chess—& I often do with great hits😎 #Ethiopia

OLA has continued to mobilize, train, graduate and arm the Oromo Qeerroo & Qarree who peacefully fight to bring about the political change in 2018, which swept Abiy Ahmed into the helm of power that has now proven to be stolen by the neoneftegna & associated reactionary elements.

Mr Teshager, Prezo of Amhara State, pulled a dangerous card to further fuel the ongoing civil war in Ethiopia—perhaps his last one in this devastating conflict. Today, he gathered some religious leaders in the region & told them to declare a religious crusaders’ war against TDF.

The madness of Abiy’s regime crossed redline. Country’s “national 📺”—the largest media outlet—has been reduced to the level of regime’s army of vulgar & fake news scavenging supporters on the YouTube. It accuses reputed aid agencies like @USAID of “supplying marijuana to TDF”.

#AbiyAhmed says he is leaving palace to lead army at frontlines agst joint forces of TDF-OLA—now at~180km from capital Finfinne. If this isn’t gonna be his trade mark lie, the best chance for him might be to become a Nobel-laureate-turned-warlord fighting to get back to z palace.

Ethiopia Needs to Include Tigray and Oromia in Its National Dialogue

Ethiopia’s National Dialogue Needs to Include Everyone

Excluding key Tigrayan and Oromo leaders will undermine the legitimacy of the process and make it harder to achieve peace.

Ethio officials detain prof @KjetilTronvoll for he was in Tigray during #Tigrayelection2020 ? SMH! Kjetil is a researcher with long experience of closely observing pol dev’ts/elections in many African countries. He also heads #OsloAnalytica . Sure, this madness could cost’em a lot.
