What happens when those in positions of authority and “leading” nations are the main promoters of hate and lies? Would the global action and the proposed code of conduct focus on them first?
Unbelievable!

putting his role as an impartial peace envoy in jeopardy! Yes, he can meet with anyone he wants in performing his duties, but not in such anti-Ethiopia forum. I didn’t care about the selfie in Mekelle, but this is a real blunder! Apology is in order!
The Grand Amhara Conference (GAC) concluded with great success. False narratives exposed and a clear action plan adopted. Amharas articulated their position on critical matters, including the current apartheid constitution, federalism and self determination. 1/2

Your own Government has just appealed for emergency food aid to feed 21.5 million Ethiopians. Wouldn’t it better to feed your own people first than pretending to be a “wheat exporter” , just to satisfy your ego. FEED YOUR PEOPLE FIRST! STOP BEGGING FOR FOOD AID! ETHIOPIA DESERVES
@AbiyAhmedAli
Kenya is importing wheat to reduce the price of wheat for its people. The PP led Ethiopian Government is exporting wheat while 21.5 million Ethiopians need emergency food aid & domestic wheat price has skyrocketed and become totally unaffordable for ordinary citizens.
The TPLF never seems to learn from history or its own past adventures! After initiating a conflict that ravaged Tigray and its neighboring regions, and resulting in the killings of over a million people, it is now repeating those miscalculations by instigating another conflict
The fascist regime in Addis Ababa never learns from its failures! Despite its military defeat in the hands of the heroic Fano popular resistance, Abiy’s regime has decided to extend its genocidal war against the Amhara people. The extension of the state of emergency is aimed at
