Denying an opposition party to hold a demonstration and then organizing a demonstration in support of the government two days later!
Old habits die hard!
We will overcome the current predicament we are in.

GoE's decision to expel 7 of them is insignificant to the operation of the agencies. The reaction (overreaction to be exact) of the IC to the decision is a showcase of their disrespect to the state of Ethiopia at best! 2/2
I stand with the state against any force that threatens the wellbeing of Ethiopians and

For those who think the war can be averted, I respect your freedom of expression and I will do whatever I can to make you feel safe to engage.
Do me a favour and come up with a workable plan.
Stop telling me war is bad. I know it and it is a well established fact.

I used the 'my driver was rude' feature of
@FERESApps
for the first time today. I received a call from them twice in a matter of half an hour; first inquiring about the problem and then to apologize after talking to the driver.
Impressed!
For months the Ethiopian gov & its blood & soil nationalism base used Dishta Gina’s single to rile up the base.
Now, he spoke loud & clear. He said enough to the bloodshed.
The voices in the background? They only knew he was invited to excite them for more of what he rejected.
Even though she had made it very difficult to take whatever she says at face value, I think the wise thing to do for her was to apologize. Or at least let the storm die silently.
But she chose to try convincing us that she is politically ignorant.
What a disgrace!

"Reckless" was your government's rush to condemn the expulaion of 7 officials (out of the hundreds - if not thousands working for
@UNEthiopia
) without any care to evince due courtesy to ask for justifications first!
#Ethiopia
The Ethiopian government’s reckless expulsion of
@UN
leaders, including from
@UNICEF
,
@UNOCHA
, and
@UNHumanRights
, is an affront to the UNSC, Member States, and our shared humanitarian principles. There is no justification for the Ethiopian government's actions. None at all.
It may be common for politicians without experience of ruling to underestimate the power of the state. But it takes peculiar TPLF level stupidity to rule with total dominance for nearly 3 decades & still fail to understand real powers of the state!

I address a special greeting to the dear people of Ethiopia, who today celebrate their traditional New Year: I assure you of my prayer and wish every family and the entire nation the gift of peace and reconciliation.
Recovering the trust well-meaning Ethiopians lost on the US should be your focus. You can't help solve

I was pleased to speak with Prime Minister

today. We agreed to work together – and with our international partners – to facilitate steps toward a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ethiopia, as well as full humanitarian access to those in need.

Sir,
1, I think it's a little presumptuous calling your own project (we don't know about) 'mind blowing'.
2, another 'mind blowing' project isn't what we're looking for. We're looking for assurance that these projects are done for the right reason & following right procedures!
It is unbelievable that TPLF officials have openly called the attack against the northern base of the army (which reaffirms fed gov's excuse to start the battle) 'anticipatory self defense'.
Poor victim-majority are the ones who are paying the price.
