State forces under Awal Arba's Administration slaughtered 400+ civilians in Garba-Ise this week. The same zone where Haile Sealse's Imperial armed forces massarced 466 civilians counting 66 women & 222 children in February 1956. #JusticeForSitti

At Human Rights Council debate on Sudan, UAE delegates were improperly photographing Sudanese civil society delegates inside the Council chamber, a direct violation of the rules of the Council and a blatant intimidation tactic. Shocking, but not surprising.https://t.co/QMnHQfsHRK

The most complete report yet from @hrw establishing the network of Colombian mercenaries aiding the RSF's war crimes in Sudan, including through interview with the Colombians themselves. This is too much for UAE to continue to ignore or others to no act on.https://t.co/fGNgURJKFC

Ethiopia is heading toward collapse unless fundamental changes are made. A state built on forced coexistence without justice, trust, or equality cannot remain stable forever. It is time for Ethiopia to disintegrate before a brutal civil war begins. #Tigray #Ethiopia

My two cents:
I have been covering Somali politics and security for 35 years now. Whenever Somalia has political crises and difficulties, most of its elites tend to blame foreigners for the majority of the shortcomings - from Boutros Boutros-Ghali and Egypt, to Ethiopia and Meles Zenawi, Italy and Bettino Craxi, Mohamed Sahnoun, Mahiga, Turkey, and the UAE.

I’m not saying all foreigners are blameless, but Somalis should also look at themselves in the mirror. Somalis are front and center in their own challenges, and only they can overcome them.

Some helpful actors were maligned and eventually forced to completely abandon Somalia. We are seeing it happen all over again, time and again, over the years. We know who they are. If you don’t know, read the history.

You can’t stop foreigners from pursuing their own national interests - that is not in your hands. But you can solve your own problems, because that is in your hands!

#Tigray has two rival leaders, Amhara and Oromia are in revolt, elections loom on 1 June – and now the #TPLF has torn up the Pretoria peace deal. Is #AbiyAhmed’s #Ethiopia approaching a breaking point?

Yet Ethiopia remains the seat of the African Union while being the largest sponsor of terror, genocide, and insecurity in the Horn of Africa.

Sudan has severed diplomatic relations with Ethiopia, recalled its Ambassador to Addis and is now massing new forces along the border. Dangerous escalation moving quickly... https://t.co/FrGlPAiNom

This 👇🏾 photo will define the presidency and the legacy of @HassanSMohamud. Not only is the looting of public land in #Mogadishu at an industrial scale, but it is also brutal and merciless. #Somalia

BEFORE AND AFTER: Four months ago, this was a dry and neglected piece of land. Today, it’s a clean, green and thriving space.

Ethiopia will disintegrate like Yugoslavia then. No point!

[René Lefort @rene_renelefort]

When Michael Asgedom, the TPLF’s spokesperson, says that the “rope that links Tigray with the Federal government is broken”, he is asserting that Tigray is now de facto an independent entity.

I cant imagine that elections in Ethiopia are going to "solve" what ails the country and could well exacerbate an already tense situation. https://t.co/JLd4eyINQY

@Abdirahmanahmd It doesn’t seem like you follow this path

There is an acute risk of war in northern #Ethiopia. According to sources in the Tigray region, the TPLF plans to reinstate the pre-war regional council and cabinet next week. https://t.co/xJQm7rXPMX

🚨 As I have been predicting for weeks, Washington has jumped into the hornets nest of Red Sea politics, holding secret meetings with Isaias in Cairo in a bid to increase its influence in the region by lifting sanctions on Eritrea. What will Eritrea do in return? How will Addis react? What does this mean for Trump's promise to restart GERD talks? How will this a US-Eritrea rapprochement affect the SAF and Sudan's war? And what will UAE and Saudi make of the US effort to enter Red Sea political debates, seemingly aligning itself against Ethiopia? Too many questions to answer. But what I can say is that the US is doing it all without a strategy with a used truck salesman at the helm. What could possibly go wrong?? https://t.co/ztA7gLPxH7

BREAKING: Tigray security forces imposed movement and communication restrictions on General Tadesse Werede after he was unilaterally appointed by the federal government, which the TPLF central committee renounced

A Turkey drilling ship off the coast of Somalia, while our history collapses into dust behind it.

We fail to protect what defines us, yet move fast to sell what sustains us often cheap, often without a plan.

Ethiopia under Abiy Ahmed’s leadership has turned into a state used to carry out the UAE’s dirty work. Dozens of cargo planes are using Ethiopia as a base, undermining the stability of countries in the region. https://t.co/3rX1EirGhB
