THREAD on #Wolkait:

Wolkait is a redline for Ethiopia. A tri-junction for ETH, ERI & SUD. Allowing Wolkait to fall in the hands of a traitor like the TPLF threatens the very existence of ETH as a sovereign nation given its significant geopolitical & National Sec implics.
It will provide the TPLF access to international border & sea port (through Sudan) emboldening them to proclaim the Tigre region a defacto/independent state - w/c will obviously undermine the territorial integrity & sovereignty of Ethiopia.
Might also enable ETH's historical rivals like Egypt or TPLF's loyal Western allies to solidify a military presence in Tigray w/ TPLF's blessing as a security guarantee for themselves, just like how former Soviet territories allow NATO in, to "protect" themselves from Russia.

1/ CNN on Ethiopia
Season 1 - The CNN TPLF Marriage
CNN published around 60 articles on the Tigray Conflict from Nov 3 to date. We all know about their biased reporting and clear support for #TPLFTerroristGroup but check these facts out
2/ CNN actively developed 9 editorials between Nov 5 & Nov 13 and 0 for the rest of the month with the exception of 2 on Mai Kadra they couldn’t ignore on the 22nd and the 26th. Coincidentally, @reda_getachew went offline since Nov 15th
3/ He stayed offline for 3½ months till end of Feb except two tweets on 4th and 22nd of Dec. During 3½ months CNN made ONLY 4 articles related to the war. Coincidentally, both the resumption of CNN’s active reporting & @reda_getachew|s twitter comeback happened March 1.

#TPLF forces “also” accused?

The list of TPLF atrocities stretches back 30 years—through the prisons, Ogaden, Oromia, Amhara, Somalia. National terror that TPLF could return to power is THE driving force behind this war.

History did not begin on Nov 3.

The idea that #TPLF came into this conflict with clean hands is deeply offensive to the #Ethiopia people who lost their loved ones to state-sponsored violence under the old regime.

Foreigners do not have the right to whitewash, forgive or forget those atrocities.
If the international community wants to play a useful role in resolving this war, they need to understand that it started back in 2005… or far earlier. In #Wolkait, it was the early 1990s. In #Eritrea, it was 1998.

Conflict resolution cannot be ahistorical.

#Woldia seems to be the new flash point in the Ethiopia vs TPLF conflict. There are multiple, confusing and disturbing stories on this hashtag.

IMO there is sufficient substance to the weight of reports to consider this a serious crisis.
#Woldia #Weldiya #Woldiya is inside Ethiopia on the road south from Mekelle to Addis Ababa. This front has seen fighting now for several days. ImageImage
In the West there are rumours of significant military action in #welkaite #Wolkait, possibly a major defeat of TPLF forces seeking to take back what they say is Western Tigray.

What has happened there is unclear but as in #Woldiya it looks like it was a TPLF setback/defeat.
