My take on @AbiyAhmedAli‘s recent perplexing & dictatorial actions within one week:
Following the closed door meeting by the govt (see 👇), #Abiy had a meeting with opposition parties on 1st May to discuss current affairs such as the election saga. 1/6

Four options were presented by the govt at the meeting, although it appeared from @AbiyAhmedAli’s responses to comments raised by the opposition parties indicated that the decision was predetermined, therefore the meeting seemed to have been held for a PR stunt. 2/6
The govt invited opposition parties to the meeting with less than 24-hours notice & didn't provide them with an agenda – they're merely told "to discuss current affairs". They heard about the four options at the meeting & were no indication to have further meeting with them. 3/6
@AbiyAhmedAli announced today via Facebook that "#ProsperityParty will rule #Ethiopia until #COVID19 is dealt with and election is held" 👇
Within a week, #Abiy had a meeting with opposition parties, passed his preferred motion through #HoPR & he declared today PP will rule. 5/6

@AbiyAhmedAli is continuing to play his dictatorial political drama, which he isn’t even doing convincingly. Not that I condone it, but he should have at least tried to make his drama more believable by waiting the outcome of the “Interpretation of Constitution” exercise. 6/6
