@hawelti Undisciplined individuals like @reda_getachew, known for habitual dishonesty and alcohol abuse as seen in the video below👇, should not hold any government position. It is an insult to the office and to the public they serve. 🍺

The Potemkin Party is apparently seething under extreme desperation. It must indeed be at its lowest point; at the end of its tether so to speak!

How else can one explain the monotonous, 35-minute long diatribe of lies and hollow allegations against Eritrea peddled by mercurial Getachew Reda (nominally, Adivsor to the Prime Minister) that was broadcast yesterday by the Ethiopian Broadcast Corporation (EBC) and other domestic media outlets.

If the unhinged Getachew Reda is taken as a credible political analyst and a reference point, then the numerous insolent and outrageous remarks that he had made on various Tigrayan TV outlets, as well as his X Account, about the Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed during the war in the Tigray Region must be accorded due credibility too.

Indeed, some of his grotesquely disparaging statements on Abiy Ahmed and the Ethiopian army include:

- "Abiy Ahmed is a political pigmy. Had Ethiopia been a normal country, he would have long been confined to a mental institution or spiritual cites of healing for the deranged";
- "Abiy Ahmed is delusional enough to believe and openly brag that his mother had told him, when he was seven years old, that she saw him, in her dream, being crowned as a King";
-" Abiy Ahmed is the epitome and example of little men who come to power by some accident of history and who subsequently create huge catastrophes";
-"Abiy Ahmed cannot lead a nation without reverting to endless deceptions";
- "He (Abiy Ahmed) has literally no education...but you cannot ask him how he claims that he has a PhD as he does not give you time for reasonable discourse";
- "Abiy Ahmed is the textbook example of national treason. As such, he has no moral high ground to speak about sovereignty";
- "Abiy Ahmed is a toxic weed that has grown in this nation";
- " (General) Birhanu Jula and others are not leading a capable army. They have lost the little military knowledge they had and are sheepishly taking orders from this mad leader. This anti-people army, which is blindly implementing Abiy Ahmed's war agenda, is entailing massive deaths among the civilian population and the youth"...etc...

The rudderless Getachew Reda is indeed prone to making whimsical and contradictory statements on almost any issue depending on his unstable moods and ever-shifting political affiliations. Recently, as he struck an opportunistic alliance with the Federal Government and its PM on whom he was heaping endless insults, he has began to shamelessly disavow the political beliefs he had held for decades.

In a recent interview, he quipped (referring to his old comrades): "There are many people who maintain that Tigray should be an independent nation. I also mull about that concept whenever I am tipsy!"

His close associates confide that Getachew is tipsy or drunk from the late afternoon to the wee morning hours almost on a daily basis... This has in fact earned him the moniker :"Vodakchew".

On a more sober note, how can one give serious weight to the excesses and irresponsible utterances of this political vagabond.

In the event, there is no point in responding to all the vitriol that he has floated against Eritrea in his interview yesterday.

We will thus focus on one fallacy: his preposterous assertion that "Eritrea was created, by conspiratorial forces, as an independent State in order to weaken and destroy Ethiopia".

This spurious and revisionist claim is, of course, utterly false and deliberately peddled to rationalize and advance the Potemkin Party's wicked domestic agenda of agitation and mobilization for war.

History otherwise attests to these indelible facts:

1. Eritrea was denied its inalienable right of decolonization in the late 1940s and "federated" with Ethiopia only because the US and other powers gave precedence to their perceived geopolitical interests.
2. The international community kept mum, again for similar political calculus, when the Ethiopian government unilaterally abrogated the "Federal Act" and annexed Eritrea in November 1962.
3. The Eritrean people and nation had to shoulder the heavy burden of national liberation for thirty long years and pay huge and unparalleled sacrifices. Throughout this period, virtually the whole world showed unconscionable apathy by failing to recognize and extend moral and material support to Eritrea's legitimate war of national liberation. In the meantime, Ethiopia which was ruled by the Emperor and the military junta that toppled him continued to receive massive military, economic and political support from diverse countries - the US, USSR, European Countries, Israel, several Arab and Asian countries, Cuba etc..
4. The same pattern continued at various critical junctures in Eritrea's post independence period. The failure to take meaningful action against the Ethiopian regime when it reneged on its treaty obligations - essentially worked out under the facilitation of the the US, the EU, the UN and the OAU - and rejected the EEBC Arbitral Award to occupy sovereign Eritrean territories for almost two decades is a glaring illustration of the tendency of major powers, and the international community at large, to sacrifice legality and justice on the altar of narrow interests.
5. In all these decades, including in these critical times when the current regime is stoking the flames of war through its reckless agenda of "sovereign access to the sea", the "intensive care" accorded to Ethiopia has not diminished in any way. The IMF's 3 billion financial bailout that is underway; the EU's massive assistance, including recent budgetary assistance; individual bilateral support to Ethiopia from European, Asian, Middle Eastern countries...etc. corroborate this fact.
6. Indeed, by some accounts, Ethiopia has been the beneficiary of an aggregate 114 billion US dollars in the past three decades from multilateral and bilateral assistance. This pattern of huge and burgeoning assistance does not reek of, and cannot be misconstrued, by any stretch of imagination, as "some entrenched conspiracy to weaken and destroy Ethiopia".

In brief, and as noted earlier, Getachew Reda's "analysis" can hardly be taken seriously on any subject. For the Potemkin Party to stoop too low to use his deranged analysis for "popular mobilization" only accentuates its utter desperation.

"The biggest enemy of the people of Tigray is Me and my comrades" said Getachew Reda in 2017 . Nobody disagrees with this statement, and this is before he became turncoat & put #Tigray in a wretched predicament. Shameless! He is a poster boy for political prostitution #Ethiopia

[Sheabia ሻዕብያ 🇪🇷 @SheabiaForever]

This the same Getachew Reda who betrayed Tigray people and his own principles. Getachew has zero moral authority to speak about Eritrea. ����👇

Recently, PP officials and their trolls have been quoting the fickle @reda_getachew to reinforce their disinformation campaign against #Eritrea. It is worth reminding them what this same big sellout was saying about @AbiyAhmedAli & the PP.

Whether one likes it or not, Eritrean🇪🇷 national service will continue for the next 100 years. Without it, there would be no #Eritrea. Those who wish for the defeat or surrender of #Eritrea are the ones opposing it. Israel🇮🇱 has had national service since its establishment; no one accuses it of the same. These are double standards from hypocrites. #SAWA👍—Safety, Assurance, Warranty, and Ability.

Eritrea Doesn't Need Lessons in History

Getachew Reda calls Eritrea an "artificial creation" and questions Eritrea's history, identity, and nationhood.

The irony is remarkable.

Almost every modern African state inherited colonial-era borders. Eritrea is not unique in that regard. What makes Eritrea different is that its people fought for three decades, sacrificed generations, and paid for independence with blood, not signatures on a conference table.

A nation is not defined by lines on a map. A nation is defined by the will, sacrifice, and determination of its people.

For decades, Ethiopian elites predicted Eritrea would collapse. They said it wouldn't survive a year, a decade, or a generation.

Yet Eritrea is still standing.

The empires, juntas, and political projects that promised Eritrea's disappearance are the ones that came and went.

Thirty years after independence, some still seem unable to accept a simple reality: Eritrea is sovereign, Eritrea is permanent, and Eritrea's history does not require approval from Addis Ababa.

The louder they question Eritrea's existence, the more they reveal their inability to accept it.

🇪🇷 Eritrea was not built by speeches. It was built by sacrifice.

Eritrea @35: Progress, Resilience, and Pride
by Bana Negusse

*"...Over the past month, Eritreans at home and across the diaspora have been enthusiastically celebrating the 35th anniversary of the country’s independence. And so they should. Freedom was not handed to Eritrea on a silver platter. Rather, it was won through immense sacrifice during one of Africa’s longest and bloodiest liberation struggles".

*"...Notably, many of Eritrea’s development indicators and broader social trends compare favorably – sometimes considerably so – with those of numerous countries across Africa and the wider developing world. Moreover, these achievements, impressive as they are in their own right, become even more significant when viewed against the backdrop of the immense challenges that Eritrea has faced, including external aggression, sanctions, regional instability, economic constraints, and climate-related pressures".

*"...The strong sense of social cohesion, peace, and harmony that prevails across Eritrea is also something that distinguishes the country positively. For many years, much of Africa, the developing world, and indeed many other parts of the globe have been affected by internecine conflict, sectarian violence, and recurring instability. Sadly, in many areas, safety and security are luxuries. In this regard, Eritrea stands in notable contrast".

*"...Beyond the above, there are many other qualities and values that Eritreans can take pride in. These include a deep respect for nature and the environment, as well as a strong culture of humility, modesty, and simplicity that continues to characterize much of Eritrean society. In many communities, ostentatious displays of wealth and status are discouraged, while values such as dignity, mutual respect, hospitality, and collective responsibility remain highly regarded. Together, these qualities form an important part of Eritrea’s social fabric and national character".

*"...The resilience of the people, the spirit of self-reliance, the strong sense of social cohesion, the commitment to equality and national ownership, and the developmental gains achieved under difficult circumstances together provide a solid platform for future progress. As Eritrea marks 35 years of independence, there is ample reason not only for reflection, but also for confidence, pride, and hope in the country and its people".

An Amazon delivery driver skipped the driveway and the sidewalk and drove straight across a southern Indiana couple's freshly cut lawn to make a delivery. The homeowners said they were "completely shocked" when they reviewed their security footage. Amazon told the couple it would repair the damage and is investigating the incident.
