50 years since #Ethiopia|n inflections point #BlackSaturday: massacres, national bloodletting, a country in downward spiral of decadence and humiliation.
60 HIM Haile Sellasie’s gov officials (21 civilian, including two P Ministers + 29 senior military officials), many of them who toiled to reestablish & rebuild the country after WWII, were summarily murdered by low level, classless, ragtag & barely conscious military hotheads. /1
@messiassefa Nonsense!
He is an imposter who betrayed his G7 soldiers and abandoned them on the field for a promissory check that aged as a milk—now leaving his hands socked in Amhara blood.
An arrogant and a morally inadequate political figure to hoodwink the populace—now his hands socked in blood—ends up as a doormat for a high-school dropout prosperity gospel bullshitter.
Oh! Lordy!
Abiy has exacted HUMILIATION PRO MAX from Getachew Reda!
How is a fraudulent imposter able to do this to many people who seemly have head over their neck??
On the latest episode of @AJHeadtoHead, @mehdirhasan sits down with Ethiopian politician Getachew Reda to discuss his complicated relationship with PM Abiy Ahmed and the war in Tigray. Out Thursday 27 November.
“Mr. Abiy can achieve real progress if Ethiopia embraces a different kind of federation — territorial and not ethnic — where rights in a federal unit are dispensed not on the basis of ethnicity but on residence. Such a federal arrangement will give Ethiopians an even chance of keeping an authoritarian dictatorship at bay.”
Mahmood Mamdani [Zohran’s father] almost 7 years ago ; 9 months after treasonous Abiy came to power.

Ample quantitative and qualitative evidences that countries (with avg competency) who defy IMF/WB Dev’t Rx with demonstrated devt successes; and on the flip side those who signed on the dotted line and took the pill brought predicted disaster & misery.
Actually those countries who have achieved escape velocity did so despite IMF/WB and not because of them.
The role of this amoral peddler has been disgusting: both under TPLF era when IMF-WB sequestration programs were held at bay and now under the Dystopian-PP where misery induced Sequestration has been implemented with perfect predictable outcomes (and despite your erstwhile public plea and analyses) —he gushes and sells the programs as the next best thing ever—as long as he gets his rent. If there is a new regime with 180 degree opposite programs, he will be 1st to “get the message out”. I despise the ደላላ masquerading as economic guru.
