The UAE is sharply stepping up its suspicious cargo airlift to Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Two Boeing 747-251B/228F freighters operated by Kyrgyz cargo airline Aerostan 🇰🇬 (EX-47002 and EX-47004) flew from Al Ain Airport, UAE 🇦🇪, to Bole International Airport, Ethiopia 🇪🇹, in recent hours.
I am #Eritrean and I stand by my country. But the claim that Eritrea illegally invaded #Ethiopia is false. Eritrea defends its borders, but we do not threaten any neighbor. Anyone who claims otherwise should provide evidence. I rely on truth and de-escalation, not fearmongering.
To see how sick some Ethiopians are, do me a favor: go to TikTok and search for “Massawa Beach.” Check the comments. You’ll see people saying “Soon to be Ethiopia” and “Massawa, Ethiopia.” Those people are sick 🤢
You clearly know very little about historical & political character of the country you're attempting to analyse. Governments that live off foreign patrons and pick fights abroad to escape crises at home might go to war for others, and that description fits #Ethiopia
The government of Eritrea doesn’t speak often, but when it does, her words are concise and clear.
Ethiopia throughout her history has always demonstrated a colonizer mentality — now that the deranged PM’s is emboldened by the UAE, his expansionist dreams are taking shape.
History is repeating itself in the Horn of Africa.
From Emperor Haile Selassie and Mengistu Hailemariam to Meles Zenawi, a succession of Ethiopian leaders have shared the same approach: using aggressive rhetoric, empty boasts, and brute force to suppress Eritrea’s right to self-determination.
Today, Abiy Ahmed has become the loudest of them all, deploying deafening threats and political machinations.
Yet, history guarantees that his efforts will yield the exact same result as his predecessors:
Absolute failure!!
#Ethiopia:
According to Abiy Ahmed’s regime, this is Adigrat in Ethiopia’s #Tigray region.
Look at the street.
Smartphones everywhere. Cameras everywhere. People everywhere.
Now we’re supposed to believe @Reuters@bbcworldservice@BBCBreaking and @dwnews that “two witnesses” saw divisions of the Eritrean army driving through these very streets.
Fine.
Where is the evidence?
Not one photo.
Not one video.
Not one identifiable Eritrean soldier.
Not one captured Eritrean.
Not one body.
Not even one blurry smartphone clip.
NOT. A. SINGLE. ONE.
And then comes the best part:
Apparently these mysterious Eritrean divisions drive through Adigrat…and hours later Ethiopian forces capture the city.
So an entire Eritrean force rolls through a city full of smartphones, leaves absolutely no visual trace, nobody gets captured, nobody gets identified... and then they simply vanish.
Amazing.
An army so powerful it can invade a city…
and so invisible that not one camera can find it or the PP tough troops who now claim to control the city.
At some point this stops being journalism - it is a clown show with anonymous witnesses.
@KokebMak@Reuters Anyone speaking out against Ethiopia’s narrative is apparently “ politically motivated.” That’s a naive way to look at it. Governments can shape media narratives to serve their interests, and Ethiopia is no exception.
By this logic, Vietnam should’ve lost to the US instantly. Yet here we are. Military strength isn’t determined by comparing GDPs and troop numbers on paper. Geography, objectives, logistics and how forces are actually used matter.
As claims of an #Eritrean invasion of #Ethiopia spread, we #Africans must question media narratives, demand evidence, and never mistake repeated allegations for established facts. Our continent deserves #truth, not manufactured perceptions.
