You see, you’re not doing yourself any favours here. This is only going to have the opposite effect of what you intended. The majority of Ethiopians don’t like Meles, and you’re just going to piss them off even more by showing them this. If some people were still sitting on the fence about invading Eritrea, this sort of thing will only make them want to do it.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS: ETHIOPIA RECEIVES 12 RUSSIAN SU-35 FIGHTER JETS — POISED TO BECOME HORN OF AFRICA'S STRONGEST AIR FORCE, WITH FOUR S-400 BATTERIES TO FOLLOW! 🇪🇹🇷🇺
A major development in the Horn of Africa's military balance!
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has announced the delivery of 12 advanced Russian Su-35 fighter jets, arriving a full year ahead of schedule under a defence agreement with Moscow.
And that is not all. Four batteries of Russia's formidable S-400 long-range air defence system are also expected to follow, potentially transforming Ethiopia's ability to defend its skies.
With these formidable upgrades, Ethiopia could emerge as the dominant air power in the Horn of Africa, fielding one of the region's most sophisticated combinations of advanced fighter aircraft and long-range air defence systems.
The announcement comes amid heightened regional tensions, particularly with neighbouring Eritrea, and signals a significant strengthening of military cooperation between Addis Ababa and Moscow.
The strategic implications could be considerable. Once fully operational, these systems would substantially enhance Ethiopia's aerial capabilities and could shift the regional balance of air power in Addis Ababa's favour.
A powerful message from Addis Ababa: Ethiopia is not merely investing in defending its skies, but positioning itself to become the Horn of Africa's foremost air power. 🇪🇹
Ambassador Goshu Wolde’s stand at the 1991 London Conference remains a powerful testament to standing up against foreign interference & regional conspiracies against #Ethiopia.
Today, we carry that torch, united in defending our national interests from the Red Sea to the Nile.
@Thegeneralpoch@loiooio@RasHabeshaa Ah, sarcasm clearly sails over your head. But if the perception of agreeing with you will finally make you go away, so be it. What an insufferable nuisance you are.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS: ANOTHER SENIOR TPLF GENERAL SURROUNDED AND TAKEN INTO ENDF CUSTODY — DINKUL VOWED TO FIGHT TO THE DEATH, BUT REALITY HAD OTHER PLANS!
Brigadier General Abreha Tesfay, widely known as Dinkul, has been surrounded by the Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) and its Tigray Peace Force (TPF) allies.
Dinkul, one of the TPLF's most experienced commanders, was credited with reorganising Tigrayan forces into an insurgency during the 2020–2022 war.
Following the collapse of its Southern Front offensive, the TPLF had reportedly pinned its hopes on Dinkul repeating those successes as its retreating forces abandoned conventional warfare.
Dinkul had reportedly vowed to fight to the death. Yet instead of the heroic last stand he promised, he now finds himself surrounded by the very forces he swore to resist.
Coming just a day after the reported capture of General John Medid, Dinkul's capture would deliver another devastating blow to the TPLF's efforts to regroup.
Bold declarations are one thing. The realities of the battlefield are quite another.
@Christian_lij Good idea, I hadn't thought of that. I assumed people would read the text and realise what it was. I don't make these videos myself, but I'll pass your concerns on to my editor. Your suggestion is well noted.
🚨 MORE TPLF CONSCRIPTED TIGRAYAN YOUTHS FALL VICTIM TO SUDAN'S WAR — RSF RELEASES DISTURBING FOOTAGE
The RSF has released further footage showing what are reported to be TPLF conscripted Tigrayan youths. This time, however, the outcome is far more tragic.
Unlike the previous captives who survived with their lives intact, these young men and women appear to have met the cruellest fate of war. The images are so gruesome that we have had to blur portions of them.
These were youths barely old enough to have graduated from senior high school, sons and daughters whose families depended upon them, with their entire futures still ahead of them.
Somewhere in Tigray, a mother will never see her child again. She will never attend their graduation, celebrate their wedding or witness them raising a family of their own. All the hopes and dreams she once held for her child have been extinguished.
Their lives have been tragically cut short in a foreign war in which they had no business fighting.
And at the centre of this tragedy are deeply troubling allegations concerning Isaias Afwerki and al-Burhan, one accused of facilitating the transfer of Tigrayan youths, the other of purchasing their services to replenish his military ranks at a mere $250 for every conscript.
While powerful men pursue their wars and ambitions, it is the mothers of Tigray who are left to bury their children.
