Sensationalism in Ethiopia's Political Discourse:
Driven by the need for quick engagement, immediate gratification, and international reaction, sensationalism in media and activism/advocacy has overshadowed more meaningful, nuanced discussions in Ethiopian politics. This
She could've stayed home or anywhere else that society labeled safe for her. She could've stayed behind. But she is out at the battlefronts. Defending the motherland. Making sure her children, our children, will have a safe future & a country they call home. Indebted. Forever.❤

Stephen Sackur asked AG Gedion, "there is a real risk of your country [Ethiopia] falling apart, isn't there?
AG Gedion replied "It's not falling apart...This is a very ancient & resilient nation. We have overcome all sorts of challenges in our long history when we come united"
Now that GoE built the Enlightenment Library, every diaspora traveling back home may contribute taking 1-5/more books to donate. Esp books re ancient ETH history, politics, philosophy, medical studies, engineering, Law etc w/c are highly expensive/not easily accessible in ETH!
Legally speaking,
@UNHRC
resolution is not a theoretically/practically binding document as its not a treaty that Ethiopia signed & ratified. Thus, ETH can rightfully reject it, deny access & refuse to acknowledge the outcomes of a remotely conducted illegitimate "investigation".
All this "evacuation" drama by
@USEmbassyAddis
& European allies, & the genocide mantra the MSM pushes in parallel w/ the likes of
@BradSherman
might be part of a case building process to later justify the need for military intervention by the US & allies to "protect minorities".
UN & its agencies needs competent leaders w/ global mindsets & ability to overcome global challenges.
@WHO
's DG is stuck in a primordial tribal mindset. Dragged WHO in to a TPLF lobbying firm, while millions are dying from a pandemic his incompetent leadership failed to combat.
The resignation of Amb Feltman shouldn't be celebrated as such, esp when the successor 've similar (or worse) credentials. Most imptly, unless the US make a significant policy shift re ETH, the successor would've a very limited impact in terms of resetting the Ethio-US r/nship.
Change doesn’t happen overnight. It starts with the desire, then one small step in the right direction. Every step is a first step if it's a step in the right direction. Change is only good, if its in the right direction!
Looking forward to Monday, 04/10/21.

#GERD
. An end to the era of fertile soil being carried down from the

|n Highlands. Hence, beyond generating Hydroelec. power, GERD will also significantly contribute to the national effort to ensure food security through extensive farming/agri.
Had it been for air operations or just drones to solely decide the outcomes of a military operations, the United States & allies would have won all the war they waged on countries/forces in the Middle East & Central Asia. Just saying!

Wolkait is a redline for Ethiopia. A tri-junction for ETH, ERI & SUD. Allowing Wolkait to fall in the hands of a traitor like the TPLF threatens the very existence of ETH as a sovereign nation given its significant geopolitical & National Sec implics.
NYTimes admitted its coverage in the run-up to Iraq war was "not as rigorous as it should've been". Yet failed to adequately question the credibility of
#TigrayGenocide
, concentration camps etc claims. No lesson from the Iraqi terror camps & WMDs tales.
@AbiyAhmedAli
inherited an economy in imperil, futile institutions, flimsy sociopolitics & a fragile state facing complete collapse. Today,
#Ethiopia
is thriving. Economy reviving. Institutions relatively strong & independent. GERD near completion.Democracy laying its foundation.
A woman of grace, honor & great humility. A national treasure whose consistent patriotism inspires millions. Always projects the best of who we are as a nation, as Ethiopians.

Biden's admin. is so morally bankrupt that it frozen >10B USD of Afghan assets when they needed it the most to feed 10s of Ms of Afghans, after bombing them for 20yrs!
The livelihood of millions of Ethiopian workers cancelling AGOA would put at stake is the least of its worries.
The GoE should carefully navigate through & analyse the general public reaction to the decision it made today re releasing Sebhat/Jawar & co., and provide a sensible explanation of facts/events that led to this decision (if its inline w/ the National Sec protocol).

It is heartwarming to see a successful black woman w/ HOA roots putting a self appointed white "HOA analyst" in his right place. This old man is still fantasizing over the Aparthied system w/c lets him & his ancestors unfairly benefit from the morally repulsive white supermacy.
We are in a state of war. A WAR AGAINST THE STATE. The Fed govt shall consider imposing a NATIONWIDE STATE OF EMERGENCY limiting certain indiv/group rights/priviledges to enable the military/security/police perform its duties effectively.

For months, the BBC has intentionally ignored much more influential & institutional voices parroting false Pro-TPLF & Anti Ethiopian propaganda - never bothering to "Fact Check" them despite many Ethiopians public protests and continuous debunking.
