North Wollo !
With millions trapped in war zones, daily provisions already looted by TPLF, villages burned to ashes by deliberate shelling, z sick not getting any medication, children & nursing moms being at forefront of z suffering, z catastrophe has reached untold proportions.
CNN's gross lie is not without purpose. It is to pressure the Ethiopian government to divert its attention away from Afar/Wollo and put focus only around Addis Ababa so that TPLF could easily march down to Dgibouti, from Wollo.
And what does that mean?...
Z West has literally been an ally of a terrorists group in TPLF !
Ethiopia in particular, & z Horn of Africa in general would've had a much better record in terms of peace & stability if it wasn't for TPLF's decades-long political terrorism across z region.
#TPLFisaTerroristGroup
Mr. Blinken's latest statement was only an attempt to put another round of pressure on Ethiopia.
Hence, Ethiopia's government shall keep hold & not be intimidated, while perhaps improving on its handling of the humanitarian issues.
What is 'is', what is not 'is not'.
#WHO
's president Dr.Tewodros Adhanom should no doubt be on the spotlight. The terrorist army of Tigrai, commanded by Adhanom's party TPLF, has looted & destroyed literally every health facility in conquered areas of Amhara & Afar regions.
#DessieReferralHospital
, a showcase!
Again now, we tell our Tigrean brothers that unjust war costs so much....morally, historically, politically, etc, etc.
Yet, they don't listen & it is so unfortunate !
There is no moral equality of fighters b/n z two sides. Simply, TPLFites don't have a just cause !
Huge lose !
Never imagined that z international community, specially humanitarian organizations, would remain such deaf in z face of HUGE humanitarian crises. Nearly a million pple have bn displaced from N.Wollo areas, Abergele & AdArkay of Amhara region as well as from Afar.
No attention!
Ethiopia is defeating a great many enemies, not just TPLF.
So far it was about winning battles and Ethiopia has won so many.
The War is sure to be won soon, and that will be end of the OLD CHAPTER, and time for a new beggining.
We stand guard for a sovereign Ethiopia!
In case they haven't known, Ethiopia survived many Project Basma in z past. Roman Prochazka's Abyssinia: z Powder Barrel was an old day example of colonial politics employed to dismantle Ethiopia.
Ethiopia survived it, will surely survive this too & emerge an even greater nation!

Oh my people !
My heart is bleeding for u, massacre story shaked me at my core !
Come tomorrow, we'll have a story to tell about u, that u literally had no government to protect u when killers were on a massacre spree.
@RayaKoboMassacre
@EthioHRC
@UNHumanRights
@amnesty
What else could be more staggering than this...seeing the European Union office in Ethiopia sharing, on its official Facebook page, a propaganda by one of terrorist TPLF's activists.
Never imagined that any European establishment would go so low as this one.
Broken hearted as always that, nearly two hundred Amhara civilians have been slaughtered last night alone in Wollega & the killing has continued as we speak.
Oromia regional government/Oromo PP is the most to be held accountable. Again, Amhara PP has proved that it is of no use!
We are fully aware of our situation, been compressed, and seemingly bent, by the weight of allied forces from within and without; but we are certain that we shall spring back into shape!
We maintain perspective on Ethiopia, the Resilient !!
Picture: IDPs in North Wollo.
About 200,000 people have bn displaced from Raya (Kobo, Robit, Alamata, Korem), Kelewan, Abergele, Ad Arkay, etc. Most IDPs are left helpless, hence starving!
We call for actors in international humanitarian businesses to swiftly act & save lives!
A sure sign that TPLF isn't doing well in z warfront. Regional peace is already threatened, we're determined & mobilized to fix it quick. If concern had come earlier than 4 months, my pple wouldn't h've paid a HUGE price already. But z U.S should still've enough to help Ethiopia.
Hundreds of thousands literally starving, & many dying. Neither global powers like the
#US
,
#Britain
,
#Germany
,
#France
, etc nor humanitarian organizations have shown any sympathy, not a little bit. They remained deaf to the plights of Amhara, & this is a disgrace to humanity!
#RayaKoboMassacre
TPLF committed large scale massacre on z pple of RayaKobo. I've talked to a survivor today who is firsthand witness to z massacre that took place on 9th September. Witness said several hundreds of innocents including children & elderly have'bn summarily executed
And the Ethiopian public speak out loud....
Hands off Ethiopia!!
No to Proxy War!!
For Sustainable Peace, Disarm TPLf!!
The People of Tigray is our own part, only TPLF is the Enemy!!
No two parallel army in a Sovereign State!!
All Rightly Said !!
WOLLO FRONT:
Call to Change Course!
We are with our people along the way at this trying time. The defensive approach must end soon for all practical reasons. We shall continue agreeing only on common proposal of freeing our occupied territories.
Samantha's tweet, Guterres' remark on Ethiopia, etc...
clear signs that these people are in cocert to do harm against our country, & specially z people of Amhara using every pretext.
If anything at all, it is TPLF to blame for all z mess in Ethiopia & beyond.
We shall prevail !
Z US, if it really had z interest to see a stable Ethiopia, could've played a role so meaningfully. Sadly, its misguided foreign policy on Eth has only played a destabilizing role.
And behind z destructions that've beffalen Eth & espcially z ppl of Amhara, we see not only TPLF.
The killing of
#Amhara
has continued on daily basis.
The last few days, I got probably the highets number of calls I've ever received & most were from
#Wolega
/Oromia, &
#Gurafereda
/ South. It was all a distress signal, a call for help, to help report to "government" & save lives
North Wollo starving, and z World hasn't moved yet !
Unavoidably trapped in war zones, & in total blackout of services whatsoever, and z world giving no attention yet, pple of North Wollo are at their death bed, starving!
Clearly, at stake is humanity/international morality.
Here we go, filling the Dam!
The truth?
No party will have anything to lose from this activity.
So Ethiopia is filling the dam as much for her benefit as for Egypt's/Sudan's better utilization of the Nile Water.
What we say, we do!
PRIDE !!!
#GERD
#ItIsMyDam
To all:
My Facebook page, I have lost control of, and please disregard messeges you may receive in my name. And I will let friends and followers know when I regain control.
Thanks.
#Benishangul
-Gumuz hitting a new low!
Berihun Asferaw, one of
#NaMA
's registered candidates for Benishangul Regional Parliament, has'bn killed in Metekel by z region's security personnel who've continued killing & displacing Amhara yet unquestioned.
RIP
You'll never fade!
NaMA has made its position abt z ongoing peace talk clear: that, TPLF should disarm & be dismantled as a political entity!
Yet, this was fiercely condemend by no other than a few so called "political personalities" within Amhara, the usual noisy bunch. This is really staggering!
This for sure:
Despite all the pressure, intimidation and harrasment, Ethiopia will stand victorious as always. And at last the UN, the US, and the EU shall be the ones to whom Ethiopia will extend the olive branch.
Tigrai is definitely our own!
#RayaKoboMassacre
could've bn countered, but our pple had no government of any concern.
Perhaps we know government's reluctance was until TPLF would do what it did. Plot was so that TPLF's gross CRIME would cancel out what criminal actors had committed in Tigrai in past months.
So impressive as it is, the Ethiopian Science & Tech Museum has just'bn inagurated today. The museum, when fully operational, aspires to host scientific artifacts that'll showcase the spirit of yesterday, today, & of tomorrow, inspiring a future generation of Ethiopian scientist.
For a landlocked country of abt 120m p'ple & growing, this milieu of theHorn should be alarming.
If this wasn't to be a matter of national interest for Ethiopia, wonder what else could more be, unless we're to continue to be even more increasingly landlocked.
ThankU Somaliland
Thank you
#JeffPearce
for siding with z victims & documenting z truth. You could just take position with z perpetrators in z same way many big name Western media, journalists & analysts did.
But Jeff is morally upright.
Thank you again.
Happy Ethiopian Easter to all of you celebrating.
Better Keep our optimism alive that, despite all the genocide & mass displacement of innocents, better days will surely come, and we've to stand for this to be true than not.
May Lord's blessings rain upon you.
Amen !
H.E Dr. Abdiweli Sh. Abdillahi Soufi, Minister of ICT of Somaliland, while on a visit to my office.
We held discussion on the need to strengthen cooperation & to realize a digitally integrated Horn. The Minister also offered if I could visit beautiful Hargessa.
Happily, I will !
Left in the lurch, our pple of North Wollo are on z receiving end of all z political evils of Ethiopia.
We call on all international responsible bodies to help in z committment to put this predicament at z heart of global humanitarian response, resource mobilization & advocacy.
Many African leaders themselves might not have weighted the Ethiopian situation as an African situation, but it is!
And as rightly said here "Victory for Ethiopia is victory for Africa."
The Blue Nile (ዓባይ) is no longer in wilderness! It has now been effectivelly detained, and detained no less for the good of the Sudan, Egypt, and the entire region.
Road to the Red Sea!
Ethiopia's aspiration to secure access to the Sea is on the way to a realization.
On this day of 01 January 2024, Ethiopia & Somaliland 've signed an MOU that will allow Ethiopia to secure a leased commercial & military base on the Red Sea.
Historic !
If countries come as far as 8.000 kms to 've a base in HoA, there's no sound judgment to denounce
#Eth
's effort to make a deal with
#SL
to go win-win for mutual benefit.
#Eth
&
#SL
know what's best.
Pity those who're ever aquaphobic when they think of water.
#Eth
can't help it!
Pictures taken from our visit to some war-damaged areas of Wollo. Damage is so huge.
Rehabilitation should hence be the most urgent national agenda second to no other.
ዘላለማዊ ክብር ለተዋደቁ የኢትዮጵያ ልጆች!

A specially beautiful, serene, and enjoyable corner in Konta, South Western Ethiopia.
News says:"The BRICS New Development Bank has agreed to finance some of Rosatom’s energy projects, the company’s CEO has revealed Russia & Ethiopia have signed a roadmap on nuclear energy cooperation, the head of Russian atomic energy major Rosatom, Aleksey Likhachev announced."
Having flown it for over Seventeen years, Ethipian Airlines has got its Boing 767 Passenger Aircraft converted into Cargo plane. This was done in collaboration with Israel's Airospace Industry (IAI).
Yet another milestone acheivement for Ethiopian, the New Spirit of Africa.
Observing the Russia Day at the Russian Embassy compound in Addis Ababa.
As always, Russia has proved to be a reliable friend to Ethiopia during times of trouble.
Long Live Ethio-Russian friendship !

In a transaction driven by a give&take ethos of mutualism, no party is a loser. This is what is actually happening between Ethiopia & Somaliland!
Happy to sign a historc Roadmap agreement on cooperation in the field of peaceful uses of nuclear energy with Mr. Alexey Likhachev, DG of State Atomic Energy Coorporation ROSATOM.
Next step will be conducting studies towards the construction of NPP and establishing CNST.
Had a chance to visit Dan Energy Global's Dubai office.
Positioned at Burj Khalifa's 149th floor, Dan Energy is z highest elevated corporate office in the world. It is owned by an Ethiopian with a great ambition to technologically unpack Africa's huge business potential.
Kudos!
Hello Addis Ababa...!!!
This is Time to make sure that Addis Ababa belongs to no other but its residents, Ethiopians!
Our grand opening event for Election-2013 will begin from 2:00 PM tomorrow, Sunday Feb. 22, 2021.
Come walk along with us,
Arat Killo--Piassa--Meskel Square.
This Bridge...
With bridges, rivers do not stand as insurmountable barriers.
The symbolic value of the bridge is equally parmount; it signifies nearness, communication, and union.
#AbayBridge
, we need more such across Ethiopia!
Gratitude !
Witness also said Kobo town was heavily bombareded, many selectively killed on house to house operation. A mass-grave for an earlier massacre is also spotted nearby a mountain just outside of z town. We call for immediate investigation !

Magnificent !
Let's empower our forefathers!
Let's grant the Victory of Adwa a deserving Memorial Museum!
Hence, the splendid Memorial Museum of the Victory of Adwa has been inagurated today with a renewed vigor of empowering our forefathers.
🙏🙏🙏
So much damage has already been made; communities looted to utter destitution and lost lives of dear ones. Everyody should come on board about launching an offensive sooner than later.
Held a discussion with Microsoft leaders at their UN office in New York. Ethiopia has been included as one of three African countries in Microsoft's new Digital Development Program, which'll be crucial to have a real impact towards a more equitable & inclusive digital economy.
I had a discussion today with H.E Remi Marechaux, Ambassador of France to Ethiopia. France has always been a good friend to Eth (like z rest of countries whose Ambassadors I had z chance to discuss with in my capacity as Minister of MInT: (Russia, Japan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UK)
Held a fruitful discussion with Mr. Houlin Zhao, Sec-General of ITU, in Geneva about strengthening collaboration, provision of technical assistance to Ethiopia, and how ITU can bring some of its future sessions to Addis to make up the WTDC-21 which was taken away from Ethiopia.
The government should not have tolerated the fact that our people have been detained for nearly two months now by none other than an entity that was declared Terrorist -- an entity that proudly calls the Amhara people an enemy.
Talking of the Horn,
if there was any country in the world where greater number of Ethiopians sacrificed their lives so that relative peace would happen to the country's people, it is our neighbour Somalia.
Tomorrow may not just be another day though!
Adwa Victory Memorial where every Ethiopian can see his/her image.
Together as One we fought, and as One we triumphed over the Invading Colonial Force of Italy, so that Ethiopia is ever known as the only black nation to have never been colonized.
Happy 128th Victory Day!
An Agreement on the establishment & operation of a Joint Ethiopian-Russian Biological Research Centre was signed on the sidelines of the 2nd Russia-Africa Summit held in St. Petersburg. It was signed b/n myself & Mr.Valery Falkov, Minister of Science & Higher Education of Russia.
The FDRE Ministerial Cabinet has today approved the Proclamation on Personal Data Protection, which is a critical stride towards digital transformation of the Ethiopian economy.
Had a productive conversation wiz TBI's Chair Mr. Tony Blair on areas for collaboration, & activities for which we requested further support from the Institute.
TBI had provided support in z dev't of Ethiopia's Digital Strategy2025 which has'bn on implementation 4 two years now.
Talking to Vinton Gray Cerf, an internet pioneer, who is also recognized as one of "the fathers of the internet" was such a happy moment.
Thanks for coming to Ethiopia !
#IGF2022
has come to a conclusion and the whole proceeding was just wonderful.
Pleased to be a part of the Ethiopian delegation at the World Governments Summit in Dubai. The Summit brought together Governments, international orgs, thought leaders, & private sectors from around the globe for a conversation on the theme 'Shaping Future Governments.'
