Good Read - The Potemkin Party and Ethiopia’s Territorial Provocations: When Optics, History, and Symbols Become Warnings By; David Yeh (abridged) https://t.co/512O7pb8z2 *"...In the Horn of Africa, lines drawn—or deliberately erased—have never been academic exercises; they have been preludes to war, displacement, and mass graves. In the opening days of 2026, Ethiopia’s ruling Prosperity Party— better described as a Potemkin Party of optics and illusion—has chosen once again to play with those lines. What we are witnessing is not prudent statecraft or defensive signaling, but a reckless escalation of spectacle-driven politics: saber-rattling dressed up as nationalism, provocation masked as patriotism, and propaganda deployed as policy". *"...Eritrea’s borders are not theoretical claims or negotiable slogans; they are internationally recognized facts, forged through decades of struggle and codified by law. Any attempt to undermine them—whether through maps, speeches, or staged displays— constitutes more than rhetoric. It is a test of international resolve and a gamble with regional stability". https://t.co/8UKOksooQ2
