@elonmusk If I say buying Twitter is likely your greatest miscalculation/misadventure and perhaps a prelude to bankruptcy, how would you respond?

@RAbdiAnalyst You are such a hypocrite and a sellout

[Omer Redi @OmerRedi]

@JosepBorrellF @MunSecConf Mr. Gardener, that is outright racist and derogatory statement. You mean war elsewhere/in the jungle is fun?

Former @WFP_Ethiopia Country Director Steven Were Omamo says leaders in the aid community made declarations of famine in #Tigray without the necessary food insecurity data to back it.

@KenRoth The world didn't support SA end apartheid, Africa did while native South Africans fought against it for years and ended it. The West supported apartheid in SA & prolonged it. And why would you think it's right for you to dictate what policy SA should have on Russia? Hypocrite!

@DrTedros should resign

[AnnGarrison @AnnGarrison]

Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus, head of the World Health Organization, lied to the world for two years. "At the Center of the World in #Ethiopia," a book by Steven Were Omamo, former World Food Program Director in Ethiopia, reveals that there was no famine or siege in #Tigray. 1/2

This is a typical example of why Eurocentric people shouldn't write about Africa. I will explain it in an example.

This is not about documenting the past of Ethiopia; however, the documentation should clearly include that...

@KinEz_II Maybe you prefer to see stripes of fabrics of each color separately; maybe your issue is with them being together. Maybe then you will see if you have the same reaction for the yellow and red. If not, you are obviously being biased against green. Maybe that's where you need help!

@JosepBorrellF @Europarl_EN Hello Mr. Gardener.... winter is soon to end... you better focus on mowing the garden. Do not bother sticking your nose where it doesn't belong, just keep mowing the gardens!

@reda_getachew @FT @Oolusegun_obj 2 months or so ago you were licking his feet 🦶 toes. You are a typical TPLFite... you forget you were already half buried the minute someone takes you out of that grave. Surprise, the first thing you do is bite the hands that pull you out! Such an a*hole!

[Omer Redi @OmerRedi]

@RAbdiAnalyst You are a complete sellout... and you are doing great at that. Such a shame to be counted as an African with people like you on the list!

[Omer Redi @OmerRedi]

@RAbdiAnalyst Such a hypocrite

[Omer Redi @OmerRedi]

@GualJeganu To fully free Tigray and govern it

[Omer Redi @OmerRedi]

@RAbdiAnalyst How about a de facto independent state, much like your friends in Tigray/TPLF were advocating for and you were parroting them?! No double standards; you should be happy for Puntland and all the other three states that likely follow suit soon!

@SjamaanN Good story to make a case for allowing ✂️s onboard!
