Whether big or small, do it well or not at all.

@solassefa @Meconneno Their GDP isn’t even on par with the revenue generated by one Kifle Ketema, like Bole Kifle Ketema, yet these MFs criticize Ethiopia every time they get a chance.

@CAF_Online Instead of sitting on the sidelines and just tweeting, join Egypt by formally lodging a complaint over the way the referee handled the Egypt vs. Argentina match.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

From @TheAthleticFC: Egypt’s goal against Argentina should never have been ruled out, a former referee writes. "Argentina’s collective failure to defend their goal because they allowed Ziko to run past them is not part of the decision-making process." https://t.co/AlmLb8xqLH

@elerianm Cape Verde has shown what is possible, proving Argentina can be rattled and shaking their confidence. Egypt must now finish the job.

@ProfKindeya The central gov’t could institute criminal charges against hardline TPLF leaders, serve notice through radio, TV, newspapers, & mail requiring their appearance before a court, &, if they refuse compliance or violently resist the order, lawfully apprehend or neutralize them.

@TheEconomist The Emperor was a visionary modernizer & guardian of law & order. This MF wants a 2nd term while 9 million kids have been out of school & corruption & anarchy are thriving under his watch. The country can’t survive another round of his weak, incompetent, and divisive leadership.

@_hudsonc This comparison is an insult to Kagame. Abiy is closer to the ethnocentric Hutu politicians Kagame fought against than to Kagame himself.

@NewYorkStateAG @NewJerseyOAG @helloDCWP @FIFAcom FIFA is a nonprofit association. It is acting contrary to its founding agreement & statutes. It should also be investigated for monopolistic tying or coercive bundling practices for forcing fans to purchase international club competition tickets to obtain World Cup tickets.

@FT FIFA should also be investigated for its monopolistic tying arrangements or coercive bundling practices, where it effectively forced fans to buy international club competition tickets in order to obtain World Cup tickets

@AJEnglish TPLF and EPLF have been experts since their guerrilla fighting days in framing the central government of Ethiopia by undertaking a staged bombing spree. I would not be surprised if the drones which bombed Sudan’s airport have originated from Mekelle or Asmara.

@afric_insde BBC 4 transmitted the documentary many years ago. Researchers at Oxford decoded an Ethiopian Geʽez binary mathematics book that serves as a foundation of modern computers. Few Ethiopians are aware of this fact. A basic form of it is still practiced in some rural parts of Gondar.

@addisstandard Amharic speaking? Tsedale Lemma, the German citizen who is OLA’s Minister of Propaganda; its Joseph Goebbles - why don’t you relocate to Germany and stay out of your divisive rhetoric in Ethiopia?

@DFC_CEO @USAmbUN @DFCgov This is the most consequential paradigm & strategic shift that will generate far-reaching positive impact for both the US & its partners. I wish the US had come to this realization 50 years earlier, dismantled USAID, & reallocated its resources to agencies like the DFC.

@FT The gatekeepers don’t hold the keys anymore. For long, critics & legacy media dictated what we should think & feel. They shaped perception before we ever had a chance to experience it. That grip has gone. Now the audience decides, & the verdict is loud & clear: We love the movie.

@TiborPNagyJr The USSR & Yugoslavia had stronger economies, armies & intelligence, and ethnic politics still destroyed them. Ethiopia is walking the same path. Teddy Afro is sounding the alarm, but the center-left, which monopolizes power since the downfall of Haile Selassie, isn’t listening.

@AbdiwahabSheik7 We went to war with Italy for the 2nd time partly due to Ogaden. Remember the Walwal Incident that sparked it all? History matters. Mengistu was right to reject Barre’s arrogance that provoked the wrath of Ethiopia, the USSR, & Cuba that Sub-Saharan Africa has never seen before.

@elonmusk Let’s skip semantics & propaganda. Marx’s LTV states workers create more value, be it in terms of STV or not, than they are paid. The difference, surplus value, is appropriated by capital as profit. E.g. capital bills customers $250/hr, but pays employee $25/hr. It extracts $225.

@_hudsonc The federation's heavy reliance on diaspora players to reduce defection risks doesn’t work. Only three of the domestic players did return.

@TheodrosKassa Of the 4 approaches to foreign policy, Ethiopia follows a policy informed by religious evangelism. Many top officials such as the PM & FM are fundamentalist evangelicals. Pastors regularly gather at the palace. They interpret global events through a literal reading of the Bible.
