Gaslighting is not a new invention; it has been used successfully to justify slavery, colonialism and racism to the victims themselves and now in 2021 it is being used with little subtlety to break the spirit of #Ethiopia.
2/ As part of the strategy, black journalists and politicians are being co-opted as faces of this campaign to further undermine the legitimacy of the grievance of millions of #Ethiopians who know beyond a shadow of doubt that a coordinated campaign is being employed against them.

1/ These are some of the earliest reference to 'Tigray Genocide'. Within 48 hours of the start of the war, the claim of genocide took off. (have already done a couple of threads on #TPLF & genocide as a political strategy)

The pro-#TPLF propaganda machinery understood and exploited a particular weaknesses of the liberals clinically. They exploited the mortal fear of the liberals of being accused of racism or aiding and abetting a genocide or sexual exploitation.
They understood all too well that all they needed to do was make the allegation. They harassed dissenting voices right and left. The pro-#TPLF side made great use of the fear of getting cancelled. It worked like a charm!
