You're not that naive. How can you say there is no ethnic cleansing going on? "Rouge element" lol come on? Abiy sent troops to suppress an entire region based in part on their ethnic makeup. It also resulted in a refugee crisis which is inarguably a crime against humanity. The Eritreans have also done the same including murdering civilians and mass rape. There are now reports of the central government rounding up Tigrayans in the capitol just because.
I see Africans killing Africans, an Ethiopian central government unable to act like a central government, and Eritrea committing crimes against humanity. I don't think the Tigrayans are the good guys either they've clearly committed their own crimes during this conflict but no matter what actual governments conducts should be above board at all times and that hasn't been the case.
Please, just stop.
The Northern command of the Ethiopian Defense Forces was attacked by separatists militias aligned with the TPLF in a bid to retake power in the country. If you’re gonna entertain me with Western media bullshyt then just stop replying to me now at the very least get the facts on the ground right.
Secondly, starting a war unilaterally, during a locust infestation, in a part of the country that’s vulnerable to drought, is not exactly what you would do if you purport yourself as the so called “Liberation Front” of your people which these opportunists are not. Moreover, your characterization of the conflict is in lock step with the West’s slanted portrayal of the conflict. If you were paying attention, you would know that the Abiy govt tried to negotiate for nearly a full year. All of the most influential people within the country went to Mekelle to get the TPLF to negotiate but they refused. So again, please try to tell me how Abiy is the problem here?
No country on Earth worth its weight would tolerate 27 years of ethnofascist dictatorship followed by active attempts to destabilize the country through war and conflict and propaganda. So wtf are you talking about? Every claim you’ve brought up is the same mass media bullshyt that’s been used in other interventionist situations and we’re not fukkin stupid. Tigrayans are not being rounded up randomly, that’s paternalistic racist tropes of Africans not being able to run their own affairs. These Tigrayans are being arrested because they’ve been proven to be aiding in the TPLF’s efforts. Period. You sound fukkin stupid right now breh. Why would the govt not do that? Oh, to look good for a hypocritical Western audience? How did that ceasefire work for Abiy after the bytchmade West demanded it? Their neocolonial acolytes the TPLF didn’t choose peace did they? Open your fukkin eyes and realize this is a hybrid war between Ethiopia and the West.
You can keep playing the dope and talk this both-sideism shyt but there’s the govt which, even with disagreements, is supported by the overwhelming majority of the people and diaspora including other people in the wider region and there’s the fascist murderous neocolonial puppet Woyanes. You’re funny little Reuters inspired speech holds no weight at all. The only problem here is an old guard full of petit-bourgeois racist ethnofascists cosplaying as Nazis looking to destabilize the country, continue the same mass killings and torture they did for 27 years, and create instability in the region.
Have you ever considered that the TPLF’s very fascist platform has shackled Tigrayan people? Do you think Tigrayans that don’t agree with the TPLF get the same freedom that Tigrayans get in Addis that don’t agree with Abiy but are not actively working with the TPLF? Look, you don’t know shyt about Ethiopia, Ethiopian politics/history, and the history within the wider region so kindly shut the fukk up and get your facts up cuz I’m sick of the arrogant and paternalistic bullshyt
