Ethiopia is the country reportedly acquiring these aircraft—not Kenya or Eritrea.
Ethiopia has a long-established air force. Do you really think its military modernization is happening without a broader strategic vision?
Think outside the box. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is leading a country that must prepare not only for today but also for tomorrow.
My concern is that Ethiopia may eventually explore modifying the Su-35 to suit its own strategic needs. That is a possibility worth discussing, even if it remains speculation.
Never underestimate a country's long-term ambitions simply because you cannot yet see the full picture.
Egypt has been issuing warnings for a century. But here is the question: Why has the Nile remained a source of tension for so long?
For generations, billions upon billions of gallons of Nile water have flowed downstream to Egypt, yet Ethiopia—the source of the Blue Nile—has struggled to secure the development opportunities its own water resources could provide.
The Nile is not Egypt’s exclusive property, and Ethiopia’s right to develop its water resources cannot be dismissed forever.
The era of treating Ethiopia’s development as a threat must give way to an era of cooperation, mutual respect, and shared prosperity.
Ethiopia is not asking for permission to exist. It is demanding recognition of its legitimate right to develop.
Again
Egypt is a loin without a tooth.
You know the reason?
We have been given them billions gallons of purified water from Nile.
That era has changed!
That’s true, but this time, the equation is different. We have Turkish, Iranian, Chinese, and Russian drones, alongside Ethiopian-modified systems and other military capabilities.
But the biggest difference is leadership: a leader who leads by example, like an eagle, backed by an army with the courage and strength of a lion.
Now, Mrs. Yemane, if you believe you defeated the Derg regime through military strength alone, I suggest you revisit history. Your victory involved more than battlefield confrontation; it also involved strategy, political maneuvering, and exploiting the system's weaknesses. And at that time, you had a cause that rallied people behind you.
But times have changed, and history does not repeat itself simply because you want it to.
Now,
No cause
No leader
Nothing, zero
BaBiShu!
Here is where the confusion lies: I believe the recurring civil conflicts in Ethiopia have been fueled by internal political rivalries and the involvement of Shabia and Weyane. That were cancer for the people of ethiooia. Now, Ethiopia is determined to confront the forces threatening its stability and sovereignty.
Do not deceive yourself or others. We must recognize the political forces behind these conflicts and address their root causes.
I would rather you witness Ethiopia’s transformation than hear me explain it.
That is the Ethiopia I am talking about. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. But for the first time in a long time, I see the glass half full—and I believe we have every reason to look toward the future with confidence.
You’re absolutely right!!! And we are working relentlessly to change that while you waste your youth in Sawa.
Keep laughing! Mock us all you want. While you remain trapped in yesterday, Ethiopia is building tomorrow. You can ridicule our progress, but you cannot reverse our destiny.
Never mistake our challenges for weakness or our patience for surrender. We are building a nation that will stand tall on its own strength, defend its sovereignty, and command respect on the world stage.
So laugh while you can. Time will expose the difference between those who wasted their youth and those who built a future. History will not remember your laughter; it will remember what Ethiopia accomplished! 🇪🇹🔥
Dr. Abiy doesn’t need international conferences or global media coverage to prove Ethiopia’s strength. His presence and his actions speak louder than a thousand words.
Ethiopia is not here to beg for recognition, seek permission, or explain its ambitions. We are building our future, protecting our sovereignty, and preparing for generations to come.
Stay calm, keep watching, and enjoy the SU-35. 🇪🇹🔥
Ethiopia’s story is far from over. The green, yellow, and red will continue to fly high!
No. No. NO!
Once again, Ethiopia is not governed by circumstances, and an SU-35 is not a fast-food doughnut you order today and receive tomorrow! Don’t give yourself credit for something you had no control over.
The aircraft and air defense systems were reportedly ordered six years ago. Their arrival just happens to coincide with the current situation. What a coincidence!
You may celebrate today, but history has a long memory. The bloodshed you helped fuel will remain part of your legacy, and I doubt your gray hair will bring you peace.
Comprendo?!
Your racism blinds you to everything except skin color, while you ignore the real interests and well-being of the people.
In your mind, Tigray cannot exist without your preferred political faction, the TPLF, being in power. You are wrong. Tigray belongs to its people, not to any political party or foreign interest.
The people of Tigray deserve peace, dignity, and a future beyond political manipulation. They do not need your permission to determine their own destiny.
Your time has passed. The future belongs to the people, not to those who claim to speak for them.
You are history. Deal with it!
Ironically, the very people you dismiss as donkeys are reportedly acquiring 12 SU-35 fighter jets and five air-defense systems, while others are busy eating donuts.
Insult us. Mock us. Give us whatever name you want. Meanwhile, Ethiopia is working to strengthen its military capabilities and expand its influence in Africa and the Middle East.
Be careful not to mistake silence for weakness.
The lion you call a donkey may one day reveal teeth you never expected.
Watch out! The story is still being written.
Bla, bla, bla! Does any of that really matter?
The last time I checked, Ethiopia never asked for the $1.3 billion in U.S. assistance that Egypt receives. We don’t need anyone’s charity to strengthen our defenses. Even if we receive support from the UAE, so what? What matters is our ability to protect ourselves.
The fact remains: Ethiopia is pursuing advanced military capabilities, including the SU-35 and modern air-defense systems.
Get over it! Sovereignty means having the strength to protect your own interests.
Listen, self-sufficiency is not simple arithmetic where 1 + 1 = 2. It is a complex calculus that requires strategy, patience, and long-term vision. I know it may take a while for you to understand, but let me explain one more time.
For 17 + 30 years, we have stood in line at kebele offices, waiting for government-provided bread and food, yet our situation has barely changed. We have learned that the way forward is not to remain dependent but to strengthen our economic muscle and build the security capabilities necessary to protect our resources.
Now we understand the formula: economic strength creates independence, and national security protects the foundation for sustainable development.
So, worry about your own neglected country while Ethiopia works through the calculus of self-sufficiency. Time will reveal the solution.
Do not confuse diplomacy with submission, and do not mistake the pursuit of self-sufficiency for blindly following a scripted policy.
Wake up to the realities of the 21st century: sovereignty, economic independence, national security, and national unity are the foundations of a nation's strength.
If you think Ethiopia's pursuit of self-reliance is a sign of weakness, take a closer look at Eritrea: a country criticized for indefinite national service, political repression, the imprisonment of its own people, and persistent poverty.
Ethiopia is looking toward the future, building its capacity, and pursuing its national interests. No nation becomes truly independent by surrendering its ambitions to satisfy its critics.
So before lecturing Ethiopia about sovereignty, ask yourself: What does sovereignty mean if ordinary citizens are denied their basic freedoms and opportunities?
We do not confuse peace with fear, diplomacy with surrender, or patience with weakness. Ethiopia's future will be shaped by its own people—not by the expectations of those who underestimate it.
Abiy is back to having the largest and strongest military in the region. That will make his attractiveness as a security partner to Washington even greater. It also makes him a regional hegemon that could deter the likes of Egypt and Ethiopia. https://t.co/oS3H2lhpnB
