The people of Ethiopia deserve the right to choose their own future.
After years of violence and suffering, they deserve peace, justice, and respect for their sovereign voice.
The Ethiopian government must guarantee free and fair elections that reflect the will of the people.

The Ballot Box Imperialists: Why The Economist Fears a Rising Ethiopia
By Chakham
May 31, 2026
In London, the editors of The Economist seem to believe they have a vote in tomorrow’s Ethiopian election.
For the past six weeks, the self-appointed gatekeepers of liberal democracy have unleashed a barrage of headlines so uniformly negative, they border on the hysterical. From accusing Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed of an “Imperial Vision” on May 28 to claiming he is “Throttling Free Expression” on April 23, the timing is as subtle as a sledgehammer.
Tomorrow, June 1, 2026, millions of Ethiopians will head to the polls. The presses on the other end are seemingly terrified they might actually like who they are voting for.
The “Imperial” Projection?
The latest hit piece, “The Imperial Vision of Ethiopia’s Abiy Ahmed,” exposes the deep neurosis of the neocolonialist's foreign policy establishment. The Economist frames Ethiopia’s desire for Red Sea access and regional integration not as economic necessity, but as dangerous expansionism.
It is a rich irony: a British publication, born of Empire, lecturing an African nation on the dangers of seeking influence. When Europe integrates, it is “strategic autonomy.” well,when the Horn of Africa does it, it is “imperialism.”
This editorial stance relies on a strategy of “Development Denial.” When Ethiopia announced it had become a net wheat exporter in 2025,a historic achievement for food security, @TheEconomist did not investigate; it sneered, calling the figures “too good to be true.”
They refuse to reconcile their narrative of a “failing state” with the reality of a country that has liberalized its financial sector, launched a securities exchange, and projected 9.2% GDP growth for the 2025/26 fiscal year. Do they care? Yes but bc it's the rising African Nation ambtions, not democracy!! As they say Abiys ambition is to build a rich Nation and strong influence in the HoA.
They don't like Ethiopia's strategic leverage growing....
They cannot critique the economic results, so they attack the moral character of the man delivering them.
The “Free Speech” Smokescreen
The accusation that the state is “throttling free expression” omits a critical reality: the distinction between journalism and insurrection which @TomGardner18
Himself was expelled from Addis years ago. (Well it's personal for him)
The journalists the Economist champions often operate within the very networks that fueled the two-year war in Tigray. By labeling accountability as persecution, these outlets provide cover for information warfare that no Western capital would tolerate within its own borders. Even England prisons regular folks for an online post? Just a post mate so...
Let me Conclude anyways...
The flurry of articles this May proves one thing: The Economist/others/...They are screaming at the rain. No one cares mate!
Tomorrow, Ethiopians will not vote based on an editorial written in a London high-rise. They will vote on their roads, their wheat, their dams, and their sovereignty.
Some disgruntled groups may bought west’s favorite magazine may have bought the ink, but they can no longer buy the narrative.
While South Africans are busy chasing away “foreigners” basically Black entrepreneurs who contribute to their economy, Ethiopia on the contrary is doing things differently to open opportunities. This is why Ethiopia will be the next superpower in Africa.
#Ethiopia is all set to hold its 7th general elections on Monday, 1 June 2026. 54 million+ registered voters are ready to decide their future.
Despite the circulated misinformation, the electoral environment remains peaceful with just hours until the polling day.
The election observation team of the #AfricanUnion & #IGAD will be deployed across various regions of Ethiopia to observe election-day procedures, including the opening of polls, voting, and the closing and counting at polling stations. @poaenglish@UgandaMFA@StateHouseUg@NtareHouse@StateHouseSey@ETEmbassyKLA
Forced Conscription in #ትግራይ Tigray
Forced conscription is happening through out #Tigray by the criminal group! Many elderly parents are imprisoned in a very bad condition for refusing to let their children join the army. There are mutiple reports that young people who are rouded up and tried to escape or resist conscription are shot, subject to beating and starved in makeshift camps. This is executing Shaebiya's model of dictatorial leadership sytle in Tigray; Eritreanisation of Tigray! What a shame!
Such barberic act should be unanimously condemned in the strongest terms possible & those doing it be held accountable! Enough is enough!
#ግፋ ነውሪ!
#Ethiopia 🇪🇹
• Over 400,000 Eritrean refugees
• Sheltered with dignity
• For years, not days
• By Ethiopia
No headlines. No fanfare. Just humanity.
That's the story that matters. 🕊️
