While the substance of his contribution is subject to debate, the sycophancy w/ which the likes of @SMGebru laud Seyoum Mesfin is completely belied by acts of high treason & insurrection he masterminded as one of the principal architects of #Ethiopia's destabilization!
In fact, his treasonous belligerence against the Federal Govt. of #Ethiopia & the Northern Command of the #ENDF completely nullify any achievement or contribution his sycophant followers seem to attribute to him - and force the country at large to validate!
Seyoum Mesfin became a treasonous criminal! Given how he **undiplomatically** scoffed at 3 separate ultimatums afforded to him (two 72-hour ultimatums & one 48-hour ultimatum) to peacefully surrender and instead put up a fire fight vs. the army that encircled him proves as much!
The fact that he scuppered 3 separate opportunities to peacefully surrender suggests, moreover, that he was acutely aware of the gravity of the crimes he committed: treason; insurrection to dismantle integrity of the state; and outrage against constitutional order!
Surely, for someone who conspired to dismantle #Ethiopia from within as a core member of the leadership of a terrorist organization (#TPLF), no self-respecting #Ethiopia-n would shed any tears!

He effectively became an enemy of the state, who needed to be dealt with!

- That a self-aggrandizing non-citizen of #Ethiopia feels he can lecture #Ethiopia-ns about how they should run their country's affairs would have been laughable if it were not derisive!

- In months past, @SMGebru was lamenting election postponement in #Ethiopia. Image
- The fact that a non-citizen of #Ethiopia feels he can openly squelch the rights of #Ethiopia-ns to express their inalienable right of citizenship to vote and participate in the democratic process is ludicrous, to say the least!
- His #TPLF masters have been extinguished out of existence after committing treason against #Ethiopia & #Ethiopia-ns.

- So, now is begging of a transitional govt. to delegitimize the authority of the people's choice in @AbiyAhmedAli. It's a funny pipe dream, nothing else!

Who does this clown (@SMGebru) think he is? Does he think #Ethiopia is a banana republic that gets dictated to by an immature minion?

And who does he think so-called NGOs, journalists, and the UN are? No entity is above the absolute sovereign authority of the #Ethiopian Govt. Image
#Ethiopia is NOT a no man's land, where whoever identifying as NGO or journalist or UN can demand for unfettered access to anywhere in the country to roam around like a vagabond!
Last I checked, so-called Tigrayan diaspora, cheer led by a certain @Alula_Solomon, opted to pocket money it claimed to have raised?!?

No external entity has a right to defy @AbiyAhmedAli's authority over how to manage #Ethiopia's affairs - not least, clueless foreigners! Image

Some reflections on a @ForeignAffairs article by @Fromagehomme and Yohannes Woldemariam

foreignaffairs.com/articles/afric…
I. Myth of protracted guerrilla warfare and sustained TPLF insurrection:

- TPLF is in no condition to re-constitute itself or its forces to launch any such insurrection.
Its capacity had been severely degraded by the determined, justified onslaught of the Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF).
