Ethiopia’s election next month will be a sham. Many of Abiy Ahmed’s rivals are either in exile or in jail. Opposition parties have been co-opted, cowed or banned https://t.co/1DBbWGAlqA

BREAKING: Trump’s birthright citizenship scheme implodes after lawyer’s JAW-DROPPING courtroom blunder about Native Americans.

Donald Trump sent his top lawyer to the Supreme Court to argue that birthright citizenship should be stripped from hundreds of thousands of American-born babies. It went so badly that his own solicitor general nearly argued Native Americans aren't citizens either — and had to be rescued by a Trump-appointed justice.

In one of the most jaw-dropping exchanges of Wednesday's already disastrous hearing, Justice Neil Gorsuch — appointed by Trump himself — pressed Solicitor General D. John Sauer on the logical consequences of the administration's own legal theory. The exchange was as stunning as it was revealing.

Gorsuch asked a simple question: under the administration's proposed test for birthright citizenship, are Native Americans born today automatically citizens?

Sauer's answer was a slow-motion legal train wreck. First, he said yes — obviously. Then Gorsuch pushed him to set aside the statutes granting Native Americans citizenship and answer based purely on the administration's own constitutional theory. Sauer's answer changed: "No." Under the 1868 congressional debates, he explained, children of tribal Indians were not considered birthright citizens.

The courtroom went quiet.

Gorsuch pressed harder. But under your test — the domicile test you want this court to adopt today — are tribal Native Americans born on U.S. soil birthright citizens?

Sauer fumbled. "I think so... I have to think that through, but that's my reaction."

"I'll take the yes," Gorsuch replied — essentially throwing the solicitor general a life preserver before he could drown any further.

Let's be absolutely clear about what just happened. The Trump administration walked into the highest court in the land with a legal theory so sweeping, so poorly thought through, that when a justice applied it logically, the government's own lawyer couldn't guarantee that Native Americans — people whose nations existed on this continent thousands of years before the United States did — would qualify as birthright citizens.

This is the constitutional chaos that Trump's executive order invites. Once you start unraveling the 14th Amendment's guarantee that all persons born on American soil are citizens, there is no clean stopping point. The administration's own lawyer proved that in real time, in front of the entire nation, while Trump was still in the building — before he turned tail and fled.

The 14th Amendment was written to be clear precisely because America had already lived through the horror of deciding that some people born here weren't really citizens. The Supreme Court has upheld birthright citizenship for 157 years.

And Trump's lawyer just demonstrated, in spectacular fashion, exactly why those 157 years of precedent exist.

Please like and share this post if you believe the Constitution means what it says — for everyone born on American soil.

The only foreign financial services company operating in #Ethiopia is pulling out because of foreign exchange constraints, in a blow to efforts by @AbiyAhmedAli to attract investors. This comes on the heals of the Abiy regime failing to attract any bids for a third telecom license, amid concerns about conflict in the country.

Here is Abiy’s government admission of guilt when it comes to the disarmament of the TPLF. So all it’s cadres can now stop trying to convince us that the TPLF has been disarmed and is not a danger to anyone. #Ethiopia #TPLF #Fano

A Cry for Justice: Teenager's Heart-Wrenching Plea Amidst the Tragedy in Amhara region of Ethiopia.

In a heart-wrenching video that has recently surfaced, a young ethnic Amhara teenager stands amidst the ruins of his brother home, tears streaming down his face, shouting to the heavens, and desperately pleading with God to end the nightmare that has befallen his family and his nation.

The video captures the raw anguish and despair of a teenager whose world has been shattered by a brutal murder, a murder that occurred within the sanctity of his own home through a drone strike, a painful reminder of the dire situation in the war-torn Amhara region of Ethiopia.

With a trembling voice, the teenager cries out, "Nobody can live in peace while Abiy Ahmed is still in power." His anguished words are a stark indictment of the more than two years of war that have plagued the region, leading to man-made starvation and unimaginable suffering for its inhabitants.

The teenager's voice cracks as he mentions his brother, Belete, known as the honest farmer, who had struggled throughout his life to survive and provide for his family. Belete was tragically killed, leaving a void that can never be filled.

In his plea to God, the teenager expresses his deep agony, claiming that he lost not just one but two brothers due to the actions of the Nobel Prize-winning Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. He repeatedly cries out "Egziabher," the Amharic name for God, while wishing for the end of Abiy Ahmed's rule for the pain he has caused.

The teenager recounts the horrors of the air strike, describing how one brother was burned along with their home, while the other was brutally murdered. In the backdrop of the video footage, a scene of devastation unfolded. The remnants of a demolished house testified to the brutal air strike that had befallen the teenager's family. The roof and significant portions of the house lay in ruins, a grim reminder of the tragedy that had unfolded. The teenager's sister, carrying a picture of the deceased, followed a solemn Ethiopian tradition to express her profound grief and the grim reality of an air strike that had claimed her brother's life.

This video is just a glimpse into the unimaginable suffering that has unfolded in the Amhara region. Reports from local sources suggest that the tragedy captured in this video is only the tip of the iceberg. Atrocities, war crimes, and massacres that amount to genocide have allegedly been committed by government forces, with full knowledge and complicity of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.

The plea of this grief-stricken teenager and the harrowing scenes captured in the video highlight the urgent need for the world to break its silence and take decisive action against the brutal regime in Ethiopia. The suffering of the people in the Amhara region demands a response from the global community, a response that acknowledges the immense human cost of the ongoing war and seeks to bring an end to the cycle of genocide and destruction that has gripped this troubled nation.
