    Nine Ethiopian factions to form alliance against govt. theguardian.com/world/2021/nov… Dumb report. Nine fake 'organizations' of violent, elitist groups that refuse to democratically engage and want to shoot their way to power. Dream on. Why didn't they compete in the June elections?

    BBC: why (again) publish such a disdainful story by a person who has been wrong & devious about virtually everything in this conflict & seems to hate a peace deal? He can't digest the new reality? BBC, please get your act together & clean out fake experts.

    edition.cnn.com/2021/09/07/afr… What a lousy & biased hachet job, typical CNN-style. Who ze hell are the people cited? A careful selection of detractors. And no, of course nothing bad about TPLF & their atrocious violence. The article is an affront. CNN: anything to torpedo Afr. leaders.

    Borrell urges sanctions over Ethiopia crisis euractiv.com/section/global… Tha Eu ignoramus idiots are at it again. Sanctions on whom? Yes, on TPLF, one would suppose. Borrell does not read, cannot think and is clueless. Makes me ashamed to be a 'European'.

    US Secr. of State A. Blinken announced yesterday he would visit Nigeria, Senegal and Kenya. Not Ethiopia. 🤔 Strange. This seems to be an admission of failure of US policy towards Ethiopia. He may be afraid of the load of criticism he might face - and have no real answer.

    Another idiotic and useless measure, only hurting the common Ethiopian people. Biden's foreign policy is blind, clueless, and cannot listen and read the facts. Thus supporting tyranny and warmaking (by the TPLF). Immoral.

    U.S. aid chief to travel to Ethiopia in diplomatic push on Tigray reuters.com/world/africa/u… Let her stay away. She has a warped view and knows next to nothing about Ethiopia. Can only do damage. No 'aid blackmail' on Ethiopia.

    youtu.be/q4zyXxgZh60 Leaked recording of an ignoramus idiot talking. And this is a top EU diplomat... He makes an illegal call for a coup in Ethiopia. Incredible... Should be dismissed immediately.

    The Nobel Peace Prize That Paved the Way for War nytimes.com/2021/12/15/wor… What a bullshit story. An amateur who thinks that he understands Ethiopia & lends a willing ear to propaganda from the TPLF war mongerers leaving a trail of destruction & death. What a biased 'journalism'...

    x.com/DavidAltonHL/s… I mean, food aid to Tigray is fine, but there are equally serious - likely móre serious - food scarcity problems in Amhara & Afar Regions - & much more destruction there, inflicted by TPLF, of schools, hospitals, services, etc. Sir, why aren't you fair?

    U.K Gov replies to my October call to airlift food to Tigray’s starving people. Admits blockade has made delivery“virtually impossible” & “a de facto blockade of Tigray is likely to constitute a war crime”and that”The situation in Tigray is catastrophic” davidalton.net/2021/12/18/afr…

    Replying to @SecBlinken and @UN
    Mr. Blinken, Ethiopia has the diplomatic right to do this. It may change its decision if that Executive Order against the country, and the US's ill-informed & hypocritical 'policy', are rescinded. Meanwhile, the US State Dept. is advised to replace its entire Africa Desk team.
