Hello @JeffBezos, since you question the results of our studies on the unfairness of the US tax system, please allow me to remind you of the main conclusions of our work, the most comprehensive research to date on this issue.
This is so sad! Ethiopia didn't even vote for the partition of palestine in the immediate post WWII world when sympathy was flowing for European jews. Utterly heartbreaking!
Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
Stop calling the Abundance faction “centrist.” The bipartisan Overton window has shifted with Trump.
Abundance people are RIGHT WING on economics and social policy, which is why they’re funded by right-wing interests like David Koch and lobbyists for Larry Ellison.
RE: President Trump’s letter dated 1/16/2026
Reading between the lines of President Trump’s letter regarding the #GERD and the #Nile water issue involving #Ethiopia and #Egypt, one can see that the CAPITALIZED terms I have below pulled from the letter are not incidental.
They reflect language drawn directly from past negotiations and long-standing discussions among the countries which did not go anywhere because of the extreme position #Egypt took.

Will the American people ever stop the American government from the criminal acts of imperialism we have practiced for decades.? Tonight we kidnapped the President of another sovereign nation. Kidnapping, murder, assassination, military coups, and theft of resources. Oil/Lithium
El Artículo 2, párrafo 4 de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas dice textualmente:
“Los Miembros de la Organización, en sus relaciones internacionales, se abstendrán de recurrir a la amenaza o al uso de la fuerza contra la integridad territorial o la independencia política de cualquier Estado, o en cualquier otra forma incompatible con los Propósitos de las Naciones Unidas.”

#BREAKING:An African country, whose name is being deliberately withheld, is reportedly set to become the first state to formally announce its recognition of Somaliland, which has long awaited international acknowledgment.
According to reliable diplomatic sources, a concrete strategic plan is in place to advance Somaliland’s recognition one that does not begin with major world powers, but rather with another country whose move would later be followed by larger states pursuing their own strategic interests.
Sources indicate that a specific country has been carefully prepared for this role, and its identity is being kept confidential until an official announcement is made.
The country’s name is being closely guarded to prevent political pressure, particularly from China and the Arab League. Information suggests that this state has been selected because it meets the necessary criteria to take such a step.
Finally, the country is said to be relatively insulated from pressure by the African Union. It maintains relations with Taiwan and the United States, and receives economic support from both the United Arab Emirates and the United States.
@MerseaLeilena She came off as a one dimensional ideologue with an agenda to attack Getachew no matter what he said. She's clearly invested in sowing hate and sees self reflection and reconciliation ad threats to her brand of politics.
These are important comments from influential Chinese intellectual Jin Canrong (金灿荣):
"The ascent of the West was historically grounded not in abstract ideals but in the industrial power generated by capitalism, which enabled Western states to subjugate agrarian empires across Asia and Africa — only later rationalising their supremacy through claims of universal values.
To reverse this historical trajectory, non-Western countries must resist the illusion of Western ideologies and value systems and prioritise the concrete task of industrial development.
In an era when global competition increasingly favours those with scalable industrial capacity, regions devoid of such strength remain exposed.
China’s industrial parity with the entire G7 thus marks a decisive moment in the ongoing shift of 'the East rising while the West declines' [东升西降]".

@Futurical This is False. While Ethiopia should follow Burkina's lead on scrapping visa fees for all Africans. It does not charge more for Africans than it does for none Africans. Let's stay principled in our criticisms.
🇪🇹💔Our country Ethiopia's abstention from the two-state solution in the UN General Assembly,Palestine and Israel,is not in keeping with our long-standing, Africa-centric foreign policy,as a country that has been at the forefront of supporting and fighting against colonialism
