“We are dreaming big,” said Lencho Bati two years ago.
What we witnessed instead has been a nightmare.

[Getu Teressa @GetuTeressa]

This is tragic. Political prisoners on hunger strike in critical conditions and taken to a hospital…“doctors refused to admit citing fear of taking responsibility for their lives.”
What kind of country Ethiopia has become?

Facebook reminded me this post from 2 years ago.

[Getu Teressa @GetuTeressa]

This is pretty much how settler colonialism works.

[Getu Teressa @GetuTeressa]

“A former government official recounts how the prime minister’s failed reform agenda paved the way for war in Tigray.”

An excellent read.

Here is my latest piece on @ForeignPolicy
How Abiy Ahmed Betrayed Oromia and Endangered Ethiopia https://t.co/wiEilupGYM

[Getu Teressa @GetuTeressa]

“Blame it on the limits of [dependent] colonialism.” Well said!... reminds me of this video clip that depicts the “limits of colonialism”:

[Faisal Roble @faisalroble19]

Abiy visits famine stricken Somali region and tells villagers "help is on the way." Problem is he was messaging his blated sympathy in a language spoken by less 0.1% of the crowd. Cheers are from PP functionaries. Blame it on the limits to colonialism!

“Ethiopians don’t agree on history, heroes, flags, statues, anthem, or other national symbols,” writes @awolallo.

True. 🇪🇹 does not yet have these rudimentary foundations. Abiy & his Amhara base are making the process impossible.

[Foreign Policy @ForeignPolicy]

Ethiopians don’t agree on history, heroes, flags, statues, anthem, or other national symbols. The dialogue is an opportunity to reckon with the ghosts of the past, writes @awolallo.

Happy that political prisoners Jawar, Bekele, and others are released from prison. Angry that they had to spend >550 days behind bars for absolutely no crime. We celebrate their release, but their safety & freedom continues to be threatened under the current political climate.🙏

Eyasped (@eyasped) is an indefatigable friend of justice. He has been a consistent & formidable voice for those who’ve been deliberately silenced. He is arrested not for any crime but for speaking on historical facts regarding Minilik II. This is Abiy’s Ethiopia. #FreeEyasped

[Getu Teressa @GetuTeressa]

Another bright young man — a courageous political analyst, media personality & public intellectual —has been arrested. His crime is nothing but voicing views not conforming to Amhara-centric fascist politics. A sane voice, a rarity in current🇪🇹, is thrown into jail. #FreeEyasped

[Awol Allo @awolallo]

Security forces in Ethiopia have arrested Eyased Tesfaye (@eyasped) today around 1pm local time. Pro-war activists have been calling on gov't to arrest him after he made a post about Emperor Minilik II, the bloody tyrant who founded today's Ethiopia.

[Faisal Roble @faisalroble19]

Given the cruelty against the people of Tigray/ Oromo, Ethiopia ceased to exist as a national state. Somalis, Afars, Benishangul, & others on their part never consented to be part of it. Win or loss, Tigray/Oromo conflict is the eulogy of the demise of z lone African empire. Bye!

[Tsedale Lemma @TsedaleLemma]

On the gruesome murder of Abba Gadaas & respected members of the #Karrayyu #Oromo.

As a daughter of an Abba Gadaa I grief with the family & the community Abba Gadaa Kadir & the rest were pillars to.

This murder is the epitome of a deliberate denial of leadership to the Oromo💔

[Getu Teressa @GetuTeressa]

This attack was intended to degrade the Oromo nation, in keeping with Abiy’s vow to “break Oromos so that they won't rise in 1,000 years.” That will never happen. Instead, the heinous act has irredeemably degraded the murderers themselves and those serving the regime. Sickening!

[Getu Teressa @GetuTeressa]

Oromo nation is grieving the senseless murder of 14 elders by Ethiopian security forces. What makes this savagery even more shocking is these elders were highly revered traditional leaders, including the Aba Gada—who honed their wisdom through decades of deliberate apprenticeship

[Addis Standard @addisstandard]

#Ethiopia : News: Members of Karrayyu Gadaa leadership killed, several others missing amid conflicting narratives in East Showa zone Oromia https://t.co/An0kHn4uNl “We don’t know the whereabouts of the remaining people.”

[Sir Jeremy Hunt MP @Jeremy_Hunt]

Time to stop the forgotten genocide in Tigray. My question to Foreign Office Minister @vickyford

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

The conflict in Ethiopia continues to escalate as the country is mired in violence. Senator @ChrisCoons met with Ethiopian PM Abiy in March. He warns that the "war has gotten absolutely out of hand" and called on PM Abiy to negotiate a resolution before "millions die."

[Getu Teressa @GetuTeressa]

The Ethiopian government has escalated aerial bombardment of civilian targets in Western Oromia & Tigray. In its latest attack, Tekeze hydroelectric power plant was targeted, many civilians killed & wounded in Oromia. The actions of Abiy’s regime are incomprehensible.

[Oromia Conflict Monitoring Center @OromiaCMC]

BREAKING: Early reports of an #ETAF (#Ethiopian Air Force) air raid in Western Oromia have been confirmed.

100s of civilians have reportedly been killed in East Wallaga in what may be the single most deadly ENAF raid of this war yet.
