Maintaining positions instead of going fully into Tigray is the correct call. Still Ethiopia must be vigilant and not let TPLF rebuild its military.

[Joshua @jsomethingwhat]

@GeorgeObulutsa Your recent report on EHRC comments is incorrect. The EHRC statement only said Amhara forces operated in that area i.e. Beninishangul Gumuz, not that they were involved. You should update your article to reflect that. @ReutersAfrica @Reuters

@RolandKobia @TheEconomist All in all, you are well aware of the precarious situation and the destabilizing acts some of Ethiopia's cherished partners have taken against Ethiopia.

[Joshua @jsomethingwhat]

@RolandKobia @TheEconomist One of the countries who are pushing Ethiopia to denounce, allowed terrorists to form a "gov in exile". And it is also looking to enact one-sided unilateral sanctions against Ethiopia. And despite acknowledging TPLF started the war, no sanctions have been enacted against them.

[Joshua @jsomethingwhat]

@RolandKobia @UN War is horrible and unfortunately HoA is very familiar with it. But this with us or against us policy is unproductive and will not help anyone.

[Joshua @jsomethingwhat]

@RolandKobia @UN Ethiopia is fundamentally against this war but will neither sanction nor condemn ONE of its important partners. It is not like France or any other EU country sanctioned US for its blatant violation of Iraq sovereignty. EU countries is also funding opposing rebels in Libya & Syria

After 3 months, Gov of Ethiopia still hasn't undertaken any action whatsoever to halt TPLF's massacring and displacing of innocent civilians. Gov is abandoning three states in hopes that TPLF stops by themselves. @zerihunmegersaj @PMEthiopia @DemekeHasen

@GelmoDawit The communiquè clearly said "all parties" should show restraint and not "both parties". Meaning everyone involved not just the the two in active warfare. The same point is further emphasized in the following sentence, which urged everyone to avoid escalating rhetoric.

[Joshua @jsomethingwhat]

@mfaethiopia Why isn't GoE pressuring UN to release information on the perpetrators. This one-sided excusing UN does is unacceptable and must immediately be corrected. Food must reach the people in Northern Ethiopia.

[Joshua @jsomethingwhat]

Stark difference in how western media is portraying Ukraine and how they were portraying Ethiopia. According to them, citizens taking up arms in Ukraine against rebels = brave, but in Ethiopia it was condemned and justified terrorists attacking other civilians. Bias against Eth.

[Joshua @jsomethingwhat]

@m37d33 Like Ukraine, Ethiopia is fighting despicable terroristic rebels determined to destroy the nation. TPLF is the Donetsk, the Transnitria, the South ossetia, of Ethiopia. TPLF killed tens of thousands of my tegaru brother & sisters just to maintain power. TPLF must be destroyed.

[Joshua @jsomethingwhat]

@Mohas0 The government is acknowledging that OLA is killing innocents and that the community there is part of the problem for harboring the terrorists. Perhaps, I'm misunderstanding you?

[Joshua @jsomethingwhat]

100%

[Joshua @jsomethingwhat]

Dozens of trucks were literally en route to Tigray but were forced to return because TPLF attacks blocked their route.

[Getachew K Reda @reda_getachew]

People are starving and the International Community is still busy perpetuating the false narrative that humanitarian aid trucks could not make it to Tigray because of conflict in #Abalaa, Afar. That simply is not true. The trucks had never been cleared to move in the first place!

[Joshua @jsomethingwhat]

@PatrickHeinisc1 @mfaethiopia their remaining legitimacy by enacting destructive economic sanctions would improve anything at all. Rebellions all over the country and a distressed economy, yet USA somehow believes that GoE can continue to act unilaterally without buy-in from the public.

HoA will be doomed.

[Joshua @jsomethingwhat]

@PatrickHeinisc1 @mfaethiopia And while Ethiopia have been tethering on a large scale civil war, these sanctions would sadly make it almost inevitable. We would see destruction on a scale never seen before. GoE is not omnipotent and have major governance deficiencies but only an idiot would think destroying

[Joshua @jsomethingwhat]

@HenokPrecise The sweeping notion that drones are worsening conflicts and costing more lives is not grounded in reality. Especially, in the case of HoA. @SolomonADersso do you have a source or anything that substantiate your claim?

[Yemane G. Meskel 🇪🇷 @hawelti]

ICG's innate bias against Eritrea is too evident to merit emphasis. Dwells on same arguments when current US/EU mantra is on "non-negotiability of sovereignty & right of nations to choose their own defense architecture"
