Interesting to note the extent of Abyssinia from the Red Sea to Blue Nile. Meaning Ethiopia has a historical claim to the sea. And that Oromia was largely existed outside the territorial limits of the Abyssinian empire. Fascinating to see such contested claims on a map

As the saying goes, a drowning man will clutch at a straw

When you lose the battlefield, you freeze the frame, zoom in on the pupil, enhance it, and make up some batshit nonsense

[Sirak Bahlbi @SirakBahlbi]

We could say a lot about the 27-minute so-called interview that the great pretender, Abiy Ahmed, gave to his own megaphone television yesterday.

Study the camera shots carefully. This time, they spend very little time on his face and much more time on wide shots and the interviewer. Why? Because he is constantly reading from a screen, reciting words prepared for him by either Getachew or Tsadkan.

Yet, despite the producer’s and editor’s best efforts to conceal this, look what I found! You can actually see him reading from a screen strategically positioned behind the interviewer, creating the illusion that he is speaking freely to the interviewer or the camera.

But I froze the footage, zoomed in on his pupils, and guess what? Hehehehe! He is reading and repeating words from a big-screen like a parrot!

Abiy is as fake as they come: a pretender, a coward and a bigmouth. Behind the carefully staged performance and bluster, we all know he is terrified.

[Yemane G. Meskel 🇪🇷 @hawelti]

Let us not mince our words and call a Spade a Spade!

1. The Potemkin Party has been obsessed/immersed in unparalleled military expenditure spree in the last three years.
2. In the last three quarters of 2026 alone, the regime has received 365 UAE Cargo/military deliveries for use in its multiple domestic conflicts and concomitant acts/designs of regional destablization.
3. At the same time, the regime has received - and these are conservative estimates - over 30 billion US Dollars in cumulative external financial assistance in the last eight years from several multilateral and bilateral donors.
4. And yet, almost 21.4 million people all over the country remain in dire conditions whose survival depends on humanitarian assistance.

In a nutshell, the priorities of this callous regime are crystal clear; reckless wars of delusional "grandeur" in lieu of the welfare of the majority of its people and enduring regional peace and stability.

#Eritrea did not "officially" invade #Ethiopia. Only an Eritrean official could officially declare war. They would issue an official declaration and most likely speak publicly as an official. This headline is fraudulent and sensational.
