This is the country called Ethiopia led by Abiy Ahmed Ali. It has no other history of its people being slaughtered, war of famine, history of being distorted.
Individual behavior is often a reflection of institutional precedent. France built much of its wealth on the systemic looting of African nations, and this state-sanctioned extraction has created a societal framework that normalizes lawless acquisition.
🚨 U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warns of broader Ethiopia-Eritrea war amid military buildup along border
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed concern over escalating tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea, warning that the buildup of troops on both sides of their shared border could trigger a broader regional war involving neighboring countries.
During a press Q&A at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on October 17th, Rubio characterized the recent fighting inside Ethiopia as involving separatist attacks followed by an Ethiopian military response. He also condemned what he described as terrorist attacks, including drone strikes against Ethiopia’s capital, while urging the Abiy regime to exercise restraint and avoid further escalation.
Rubio confirmed that he had personally spoken with Ethiopian officials earlier in the week and disclosed that Washington had increased diplomatic communication with Eritrea over the past several months. He defended the recent lifting of limited Ethiopia-related sanctions, arguing that greater engagement with both countries would strengthen U.S. efforts to mediate tensions.
Emphasizing the risk of a wider regional war, Rubio urged a measured response, warning that further escalation could draw additional countries into the fighting. “The last thing the world needs right now is another war,” he stated.

HABTAMU GURMU CHALA, A REPORTEDLY SECURITY AFFILIATED ETHIOPIAN ACTIVIST RESIDING IN MADISON, ALABAMA, OPENLY DECLARES IN X SPACES THAT THE ETHIOPIAN GOVERNMENT DELIBERATELY STAGED EXPLOSIONS IN ADDIS ABABA TO FRAME ERITREA.
Habtamu Gurmu Chala (@Habtishgreat), a self-described Ethiopian government supporter reportedly residing in Alabama, makes an extraordinary assertion in a recorded X Spaces discussion concerning the reported October 1, 2026, explosions in Addis Ababa. Mr. Chala, whose alleged harassment of diaspora women and other individuals has previously raised serious concerns, appears to suggest that the Ethiopian government deliberately orchestrated explosions to implicate Eritrea. He also discusses alleged intelligence operations and predicts further explosions. Most remarkably, when another participant asks, “So it means the government is intentionally creating terror, Habtish?”, his answer is an unequivocal “Yes.” The exchange recalls historical allegations documented in leaked U.S. diplomatic cables concerning purported efforts by Ethiopian security authorities to attribute violent incidents to opposition groups, including the Oromo Liberation Front.
Any historical parallel, however, requires independent verification and does not establish a connection between those allegations and the present government. Given Mr. Chala's public political advocacy and reported associations, his statements warrant careful examination by journalists and appropriate authorities. I am attaching the relevant audio recording and bilingual transcript so that his precise words can be independently assessed. His assertions are not, by themselves, evidence that the Ethiopian government carried out the reported explosions.

Im so sorry 😞
You're innocent.
You don't know what you're fighting for.
At least you deserve to face this.
May your precious souls rest in eternal peace ✌️
TDF counteroffensive is progressing well. The Potemkin Party doesn't seem to understand that strategic retreat is a core principle of the art of war. If you failed to destroy your enemy while retreating, assume the whole force is waiting for the right time/place to hit you hard.
Oh, good boy, Mr. #Habtamu_Gurmu_Chala (@Habtishgreat)! 😂 I am genuinely delighted to see some progress! You tagged @HOAAffairs twice, and I apologize for not responding sooner. I was occupied with more substantive matters, but here I am! Incidentally, I recall a conversation with a good friend of mine who taught at Oakwood College in Alabama. He remembered you as a good accounting student but mentioned that English prose composition and Communication 101 presented certain challenges. Well, Mr. Chala, I believe in lifelong learning, and I have not given up on you, even if others insist you cannot be tamed! I also recall sharing some introductory reading materials on Ethiopian history and English comprehension with you a few years ago. Now, asking @grok for assistance is an encouraging beginning. But there is something called nuance, context, and reading comprehension. Where, precisely, did I argue that transporting military personnel on commercial aircraft was illegal? Why did I invoke the sixteenth century? What was the significance of describing Ethiopian Airlines as a prestigious national institution? What historical and political concerns was I actually raising? Next time, simply copy my entire statement into Grok and ask, “What the hell is this Shabia agent talking about: IL, norms, Kantian, AU, IR, realism, Spiral Dynamics etc” You might discover that criticizing the political instrumentalization of a national institution is not the same as declaring an activity unlawful. Nevertheless, I am impressed by this modest progress toward civil discourse. And because you have demonstrated some willingness to learn, I shall spare you another installment from the audio archive today. Consider it positive reinforcement! Keep reading, keep asking questions, and above all, think before responding. A promising start, Mr. Chala. Your old teachers would surely appreciate the effort! 👏
Well, Mr. Chala, @Habtishgreat, at least you appear to have enjoyed a good night's sleep. No 6 a.m. performance today? 😂 Good to see you again! And there you go, predictably tagging @HOAAffairs. Your inability to resist mentioning me has become almost comical. But your latest post deserves more serious attention. You have publicly associated my account with allegations involving military infiltration, weapons, ammunition, and explosives. On what evidence do you associate me with these claims? Such serious allegations demand verifiable evidence, not insinuation. I will preserve this post alongside your other public statements in a digital archive for the record. Your earlier recorded remarks, apparently alleging that the Ethiopian government deliberately staged explosions in Addis Ababa, also deserve independent scrutiny. I intend to publish a further statement examining those remarks, accompanied by the relevant audio and transcript, without presenting unverified allegations as established facts. Mr. Chala, you have repeatedly crossed the boundaries of civil discourse. A few of us remain committed to defending human dignity against harassment, intimidation, and reckless accusations. Every public statement you make is your responsibility, and the historical record will speak for itself. Keep talking, Mr. Chala. The archive is growing, and your own words will remain available for examination long after this exchange is forgotten.

Reluctantly I watched this interview and Tronvoll can be described by this clip as someone who is completely incongruant with his political activism against Eritrea but yet wonders why he is refused a visa to enter Eritrea. Similarliy he argues for the western security interests against Eritrea because lets be honest the reason Eritrea isnt in the good books of western org is because it doesnt act in the interest of these org particularly their security interests @_hudsonc told you so on @addisstandard when interviewed about US lifting sanctions against Eritrea. So less than listening to Tronvoll continously contradicting himself what was the point of this interview?
In an interview with CGTN, the unhinged and mercurial Getachew Redda resorts to his stock in trade: dwell on utter falsehoods to accomplish the specific task to which he is assigned at a given point in time.
His political allegiance has shifted from one extreme to the other in the past three years; (He is even on record for saying that when he is tipsy, he is in favor of Tigray's independence).
The link below enumerates some of the outlandish and disparaging labels he used to describe the Potemkin Party, and especially its leader; to whom he is aligned to now.
As it is, his current diatribe against Eritrea falls in the same mold; the cheap mutterings of a notorious hireling!
