WTF is going on in ETHIOPIA??

[Slam]

This whole crisis smells of Western and TPLF collusion.

The horn is not to be fukked with.



Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia are chaotic as it is and shyt can escalate quick time.

Africans need to see themselves as black before anything else. Not Ethiopian,Nigerian,Hutu or Tutsis, etc.

When they slaughter each other like this, it’s because they see each other’s differences instead of the greatest thing that makes them exactly the same.

I love all my people from the diaspora and I want us all to unite under the great umbrella of our blackness

Do you realize that if you changed your wording to refer to us in the states, EVERYTHING you said applies to our community here? I just never understood why we are always so concerned with what's going on on another continent when we have way too many of our own problems to worry about

@2Quik4UHoes
You see this?

Nah I ain’t see it but that’s cool tho cuz it isn’t one group being targeted but many different ones. The TPLF are true scum on this earth.

African american is one of the dumbest "ethnic" distinctions i can think of

How so? I’m a believer in Malcolm and since he believed in that term I do too. To me, my only issue is that it should be in reverse. An Ethiopian or Nigerian are both Africans but of different types. I look at the diaspora in a similar way. Their experiences created unique cultures and peoples but much of the foundation is African centered and descended. To me, that’s when using “African” as a term like that makes more sense because it acknowledges uniqueness while promoting Black unity globally. It’s more obvious that an American African is different from a Jamaican African, Brazilian African, or Ghanaian African.

Ah , the weekly installment of "lets shyt on the African continent to feel better about ourselves" by clueless Americans who never lived outside their state, let alone leave the country they were born in.
The ignorance knows no bounds. White supremacy won by a landslide.

The EU was downplaying TPLF attacks and claiming human rights violations committed in Tigray


Plus back in February the EU had Ethiopia on they agendas to address with the help of the US. The other countries that’s on list is Russia, Iran, Hong Kong, Myanmar etc

Disinformation in Tigray: Manufacturing Consent For a Secessionist War

Disinformation in Tigray: Manufacturing Consent For a Secessionist War

Corporate media in the imperial countries have spread disinformation on the real nature of the fighting in Ethiopia’s Tigray state.

“Eritrea has served as the primary scapegoat.”



Today, New Africa Institute publishes its Disinformation in Tigray report to provide an evidence-based analysis of the conflict in Ethiopia’s Tigray Regional State, which is an irredentist, ethnic secessionist war led by the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) against the multiethnic federal government. Although the conflict officially started on November 4, 2020 after TPLF, by its own admission, attacked the federal government’s Northern Command based in Tigray, this showdown had been brewing for decades.

Since the start of hostilities, there has been an explosion of disinformation in the mainstream and social media. This report carefully analyzes the causes and methods of disinformation propagation. Ultimately, the disinformation serves to manufacture consent for an unpopular irredentist, ethnic secessionist war that could not be justified in the eyes of the international public through honest reporting.

The media, non-governmental organizations and Western governments have forwarded a number of allegations of crimes upon the people of Tigray perpetrated by the Ethiopian and Eritrean militaries. Eritrea has served as the primary scapegoat. Much of the reporting of these crimes, devoid of evidence and context, has proven sensational and racist with savage-like portrayals of Eritreans and Ethiopians that draw on old colonial tropes of Africans. This report looks beyond the gaudy headlines and provides sober, evidence-based analysis of the major allegations. Significant focus is given to social media as most disinformation about Tigray originates there.

Additionally, this report assesses the nature of and problems with Western media’s overall coverage of the Tigray conflict. Lastly, it provides analysis of the actions by Western governments and likely consequences of those actions to encourage better policy decisions in the Horn of Africa moving forward.

Ethiopians Protest US Sanctions over Brutal Tigray War

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Thousands of Ethiopians gathered in the nation’s capital Sunday to protest outside pressure on the government over its brutal war in Tigray.

Protesters at the rally in Addis Ababa carried banners that criticized the United States and others in the international community who are voicing concern over atrocities in Tigray, where Ethiopian forces are hunting down the region’s ousted and now-fugitive leaders. Troops from neighboring Eritrea are fighting in Tigray on the side of Ethiopian government forces, in defiance of international calls for their withdrawal.

But the protesters in Addis Ababa carried placards that said “Ethiopian young people denounce the western intervention.” Others said Ethiopia’s sovereignty was at stake.

The U.S. said last week it has started restricting visas for government and military officials of Ethiopia and Eritrea, who are seen as undermining efforts to resolve the fighting in Tigray, home to an estimated 6 million of Ethiopia’s 110 million people. Besides the visa restrictions, Washington is imposing wide-ranging restrictions on economic and security assistance to Ethiopia.

Atrocities including brutal gang-rapes, extrajudicial killings and forced evictions have been part of the violence in Tigray, according to victims, witnesses, local authorities and aid groups. Thousands of people are estimated to have died.

The Ethiopian government called the U.S. action “misguided” and “regrettable.”

“The Ethiopian government will not be deterred by this unfortunate decision of the U.S. administration,” said the statement tweeted by the ministry of foreign affairs.

“If such a resolve to meddle in our internal affairs and undermining the century-old bilateral ties continues unabated, the government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia will be forced to reassess its relations with the United States, which might have implications beyond our bilateral relationship,” said the statement.

The crisis began in November after Ethiopia accused former leaders of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, or TPLF, of ordering an attack on an Ethiopian army base in the region.

Troops sent by Ethiopia’s leader, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, quickly ousted the TPLF from major cities and towns, but guerrilla fighting is still reported across Tigray.

More than 2 million people have been displaced by the war.

How foreign meddling destabilizes the Horn of Africa — Exclusive w/ a Djiboutian dissident in hiding

Published on May 29, 2021

While it’s not often in the news, the Horn of Africa is volatile and often the scene of violence and its countries are victims of international interventions and interference that has played a destabilizing role, from Djibouti and Eritrea to Somalia and Ethiopia. As western imperialism continues to prop up dictators while blocking any moves towards independence, the western-backed Gulf States are transforming the region into a battlefield against Iran and each other. Why is this region subjected to so much meddling? How is the new Cold War between the US and China playing out on the ground? And why should Americans care? To help us understand these developments, Rania Khalek is joined by Djiboutian dissident in hiding Abdirahman Mohamed Ahmed, an expert on the Horn of Africa who is both from the region and has a strong leftist background.
