@HebentiEri291@DanielsonKassa1 People really need to stop responding to this click baiter Danielson. How do people not see he's deliberately provoking responses. Just let him wallow in the miserable situation his boss Meshrefet is in and move on people. He's trash, not worth a cent!
@Yehdavid Not only the 2/3 of the people of Kunama & Nara, but Ras Alula also slaughtered two thirds of their cattle too!! Reason: he got pissed that he couldn't attack Kassala as it was fortified. His ammo was surprise & ambush, never attacking fortified forts!
I just heard several of #GetachewReda’s rants about #Eritrea from last week. I must say, if #Getachew didn't exist, Abiy Ahmed's Potemkin would have had to invent him. 😂
When The Ethiopian State Made Eritrean Civilians the Enemy
By Dawit Gebremichael Habte (@dawitghabte)
There are wounds a nation carries not because it refuses to heal, but because the world refused to remember what happened. Eritrea’s long struggle against Ethiopian colonization is often reduced to the language of rebellion, border disputes, or regional rivalry. That language misses the most important truth. For generations, successive Ethiopian rulers did not merely fight Eritrean armed movements. They turned Eritrean civilians into targets, treating ordinary families, villages, elders, women, children, students, and workers as enemies to be punished.

Ethiopia's Endless Wars and the Warning From Within
ETHIOPIA — 💥There are growing indications that dissatisfaction is emerging within segments of the Ethiopian military over Abiy Ahmed's "military-centered" approach to managing the country's political crises.
Maj. Gen. Alemshet Degfie's recent public remarks may represent one of the clearest signs yet that opposition to Abiy Ahmed's reckless security and economic policies are no longer confined to political activists and armed groups.
The general's message was both a warning and a call for reflection. He openly acknowledged that Ethiopia, despite its abundant natural resources and large population, remains trapped in recurring cycles of violence that continue to undermine national development. His central argument was simple: no nation can build lasting prosperity while constantly diverting its resources away from development and toward war.
To reinforce this point, Gen. Alemshet revisited the experience of the Derg military regime (1974-1991), arguing that over $11 billion dollars were spent fighting insurgencies (including the $6b in military loans from the Soviet Union) and civil wars, and that money could instead have transformed Ethiopia, in his view, by financing over 10 universities, up to 2,000 middle and high schools, over 100 hospitals, and other public infrastructure projects.
He then drew a direct parallel with the present, lamenting that government spending on military operations over the past "five years alone" has reached similarly staggering levels, again diverting scarce public resources away from reconstruction and economic growth.
Since 2018, Ethiopia under Abiy Ahmed has experienced almost uninterrupted armed conflict. The devastating war in Tigray was followed by fighting in Amhara, while military operations continue against the Oromo Liberation Army and other armed groups. Violence has also persisted in Benishangul-Gumuz, Afar, Gambella, and parts of the country.
These overlapping conflicts have displaced millions, damaged critical infrastructure, discouraged investment, and deepened Ethiopia's humanitarian crisis.
Gen. Alemshet placed considerable responsibility on what he called Ethiopia's "political elites" who encourages polarization to achieve personal ambition and political dominance through zero-sum politics, instead of pursuing compromise.
As if the internal crisis is not enough, Abiy Ahmed's "confrontational" foreign policy adds fuel to ongoing internal turmoil.
Ethiopia's involvement in the the #Sudan conflict, allegedly at the behest of the UAE, has already started to backfire as Sudan is compelled to return the favor in kind.
Again, Abiy Ahmed's repeated insistence on securing "sovereign maritime access," through military force if necessary, a delusional policy that violates international norms and reflecting irredentist ambitions, has also intensified tensions with #Eritrea and that will complicate any efforts to address Ethiopia's deepening domestic instability.
Whether Maj. Gen. Alemshet's intervention reflects a broader current of thinking within the Ethiopian military remains impossible to determine from a single public statement. Even so, his message resonates because it articulates a concern shared by many Ethiopians: after decades of recurring conflict, the country cannot afford another generation in which its greatest resources are consumed by war instead of invested in peace and development.
@Zantana_G@WegahtaFacts@reda_getachew I read the entirety of the substack article. It lacks any specific details about Vodkachew was quoted as saying. You should take your own advice on reading.
Ok so Yemane G. Meskel really served it hot this time--he took down @reda_getachew 's flip-flopping lies with receipts and history. My take on the comedy, the treachery, and the real threat of Abiy's invasion plans that #Eritrea won't ignore. #Ethiopia👉🏿

Wey gud...
The spent individual whose views appear to shift with every political breeze is now being elevated into the role of an authoritative historian on #Eritrea. Versatility? Hardly…considering how detached his refrains have become from both record and reality. The inconvenient problem with revisionism is that history has a rather stubborn habit of leaving evidence behind.
#Eritrea was not "created" to weaken anyone. It was colonized by Italy. Following WW2 and Italy's loss of its African colonies, while other former colonies were granted independence, Eritrea was denied its right to decolonization. Instead, it was placed under British Military Administration, federated with Ethiopia by a UN resolution, and subsequently subjected to Ethiopia's illegal annexation in 1962.
The Eritrean people then endured a 30-year liberation struggle, ultimately restoring their independence through the blood, sweat, sacrifice, and resilience of their finest sons and daughters. Today, following an internationally supervised referendum, Eritrea stands as a proud sovereign Member State of the @UN. These are not interpretations; they are documented historical facts.
With PPs cadres, when facts become inconvenient, conspiracy theories tend to fill the gap, particularly when one must avoid explaining why international law was ignored for decades, why the #EEBC's final and binding ruling was defied, or why Eritrea's sovereignty has repeatedly been treated as negotiable.
History does not become fiction simply because a new political script is required. And those auditioning for the role of "court historian" might at least ensure that yesterday's speeches do not contradict today's performance.
If the matter were not so serious, one might mistake it for political satire. Unfortunately, even satire usually demands a measure of consistency and coherence.
ENDF has launched an unannounced region wide offensive that started on June 17 and is expected to last until July 17. It seems like the plan was to weaken and suppress Fano ahead of any potential war with TPLF. It’s definitely not going according to plan as they are suffering heavy losses across the Amhara region.
