Elias Meseret (@EliasMeseret), who presents himself as an independent journalist, has been completely silent on the TPLF’s mass military roundup. Why?
ገለልተኛ ጋዜጠኛ ነኝ ብሎ ራሱን የሚገልፀው ኤሊያስ መሠረት @EliasMeseret የህወሃትን ጅምላ አፈሳ ለምን ዝም አለ?
First agenda of Melat Kiros- update the Whittier Cafe logo to the new “Jebena” version.
As you can see, the updated Jebena logo no longer includes the side spout used for pouring coffee. This change was made to ensure it accurately represents the traditional Tigrayan Jebena.
@Habtishgreat You should play with your peers Cadara..the right to self determination up to secession is a constitutional right, So if some region work on it which mean they exercise their constitutional right. Don't be clown.
Rumor has it Obasanjo convinced Debretsion to make a deal with the Government of Ethiopia. It happened too quickly for Eritrean troops still in Tigray. We’re hearing they’re getting rounded up by TDF and sent to detention camps. Nobody thought of this scenario. TPLF is indeed the ultimate joker card.🤔😆
Election Observation Report – Addis Ababa, June 1, 2026‼️
Today, June 1st, 2026, I drove across different parts of Addis Ababa to personally observe the ongoing national election at multiple polling stations.
The atmosphere at every station I visited was calm, orderly, and efficient. Voters were moving in and out of the polling rooms quickly, and the voting process itself felt well-organized, transparent, and highly secure.
One area that needs improvement, however, is the lack of resting facilities for voters. At many polling stations, especially those with longer queues, people were standing in line outside under direct sunlight and hot temperatures. This was particularly noticeable during the peak hours. It would greatly enhance the voter experience if the organizations hosting the polling stations such as schools, mosques, churches, community centers, and nearby businesses could provide simple shaded waiting areas, benches, or seating arrangements for elderly voters, women with children, and others who may need to wait. (In the attached video, the voting area is the perfect example)
After touring several polling centers, I proceeded to the Ethiopian Federal Police Headquarter, where I was able to monitor the election process in real time through body cameras deployed at each voting station. Importantly, no cameras are permitted inside the actual voting booths where citizens cast their ballots, a strong measure to protect voter privacy and secrecy.
The voting procedure itself is straightforward and secure: Voters first present their voter registration card along with a valid national ID. Once verification is completed, they proceed into a secured voting area, cast their vote privately, and deposit the ballot into a sealed, tamper-proof box.
Overall, from what I witnessed today, the process appears professional, peaceful, and well-managed, with encouraging levels of public participation. Addressing small but important comfort issues like shaded waiting areas would make the experience even better for all citizens.
I will continue observing and sharing updates as the day progresses. 🇪🇹
Don't twist his speech, I never see such an idiot person like you, whoelse read your comment full of hate and lie. Aboy sebhat said they call us like this....for Tegaru not for people of Amhara.
#In_Memoriam: A Tribute to Professor Asmarom Legesse
https://t.co/MDrC6RulQ5
Asmerom Legesse (PhD), a distinguished scholar widely recognized for his pioneering research on the Oromo Gadaa system, passed away at the age of 94. Born on 5 February 1931 in #Eritrea, Asmerom was renowned for his sustained and rigorous studies of Oromo traditions and systems of governance, which have become foundational references in the study of #African indigenous knowledge and political institutions. In a tribute, Ezekiel Gebissa notes that “For the #Oromo people, whose culture Asmarom studied for more than half a century, death is not an ending but a passage from the world of binary reality to the realm of singularity, where reality is unified.”
The author explains that, over nearly six decades of scholarship, Asmarom transformed the study of African politics by demonstrating that the Oromo #Gadaa system is “not a relic of the past but a sophisticated, stable, and coherent democratic system.” Through meticulous fieldwork and comparative theoretical analysis, he showed that principles often regarded as uniquely Western—such as rule-bound leadership, checks and balances, deliberation, and accountability—had been institutionalized in Oromo society centuries earlier. Asmarom’s major works, including Gada and Oromo Democracy, challenged Eurocentric political theory and repositioned African indigenous governance at the center of debates on democracy.
The author emphasizes that Asmarom’s intellectual legacy endures as a cornerstone of Oromo studies, African political thought, and the broader global discourse on indigenous governance.
