@MTBorago@AlMariam1 I think Al has a point here. America has had a dwindling influence over the last decade and if they can so hastily withhold aid from us over something trivial to them while paying us lip service; they can stick it where the sun.....
@MTBorago@CohenOnAfrica I didn't know that was how it all happened. But we heard the explosions from Bole, around where Bras Hospital is now. It even sent plenty of shrapnel our way.
@yon3TR All the foreign correspondents based in Addis got to earn their keeps. The bigger the story, the more opportunities to get spots on Intenational News networks to peddle their 'expertise'. This is their hustle per se.
@MTBorago Wasn't there immense pressure on Abiy, when he came to power, to jail the TPLF old guard for gross abuse of power? He resisted and chose the path to reconciliation. They had other plans.
@MTBorago@wdavison10@addisstandard Nail on the head again! He has no shame claiming to be the wise owl of the Ethiopian political landscape, only here to chaperone a revolution 'he inspired'. What we got in reality was a domineering cheerleader for gangster politics.
@wdavison10@awolallo I'm sure you're looking for an interesting bedtime read, William. Because, you know this calls for nothing less than a 75 tweet long thread response. The Doctor is probably typing away as we speak.
If as Trump suggests is inevitable, Egypt did attack the Grand Renaissance Dam they would not only risk reprisal on their cities or perhaps the Aswan Dam, but also massive flooding threatening the 90 million Egyptians living downstream near the Nile. https://t.co/De1e0glsEn
1. If President Trump’s intention was to further unite Ethiopians in their anger against him, then he has succeeded. But such careless, threatening and ill-informed language serves as just another eg of int’l rule-breaking. https://t.co/4GJ4M7Pfy9
