There is a well funded, coordinated effort 2 destabilize #Ethiopia & de-legitimize its Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed @PMEthiopia@PMAbiy. BUT, here r the undisputed FACTS, all done apart from & in addition 2 his NOBLE actions 4 which he was awarded #NobelPeacePrize: #1 @PMAbiy made
half of all his TOP cabinet ministers WOMEN! Yes, unlike the USA and other "developed" western nations, #Ethiopia actually demands half its population actually RUN THE COUNTRY! and you can thank @PMAbiy for this courageous act! #2 After 27 yrs of tyrany under the TPLF, @PMAbiy
released ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS and unbanned all political parties AND news outlets. Sound like a failed despot to you??? NO! In fact when he was awarded the @NobelPrize none of this was mentioned because his heroism with regard to peace with #Eritrea was enough to earn it, #3
After @PMAbiy took office in 2018 (3 short years ago), a WOMAN was appointed as President of #Ethiopia. Yes, USA and dozens of other "advanced" nations, #Ethiopia is ahead of you, they have a WOMAN president: Sahle-Work Zewde ! LET'S ALL BE PROUD!, #4 @PMAbiy has successfully
protected the people of #Ethiopia from #COVID19 : With 2,659 deaths in a population of over 112 million people, while the USA has tragically had over 543,000 deaths in a population of 328 million. That is AFTER he received the #NobelPeacePrize ! #5 @PMAbiy is the youngest PM as
well as a PhD!! @PMAbiy is from the #Oromo ethnic group in #Ethiopia who make up over 34% of the nation and have not had a leader of the nation from their ethnic group until him. #6 @PMAbiy is moving forward with one of the most important projects in all of #Africa, The Grand

You and President Biden have shown the world how democracy and dignified respect for all people looks.
I am proud to be an American because of President Biden. Ethiopia, our ally and longtime friend, was attacked like Fort Sumter in 1861
by separatists in the Tigray Region. Ethiopia responded as we did when our Capitol was recently attacked. All human rights abuses must be investigated and justice must be sought. But there are lies being spread just as Trump spread lies. The biggest is alleged #Axum "massacre"
It started out as a false story in NY Post. That should let you know how reliable this story is. I have had the honor of seeing Ethiopia myself and know the city of Axum to Ethiopia is like the Vatican and Independence Hall all wrapped up in one. If emotionally explosive lies
On p. 8 of @amnesty report regarding alleged #Axum, massacre one “witness” states: “They would ask for your cellphone and if they see any of your pictures or a family member who are farmers or fighters, they would kill you.” This disproves allegations of a massacre for 6 reasons:
#1 If you had cellphones and lived to tell about it, why didn’t you take a photo, video, audio recording or send a text, make a distress call to a loved one with that phone? THERE IS NOT ONE photo or video or text or voicemail message from the 28-29 November alleged “massacre”.
#2 Even if there was no internet or telecom service or electricity, this statement by a “witness” indicates there was enough charge in enough cellphones for the soldiers to “check” for photos of TPLF.
On p 5 of @Amnesty report alleging @Axum massacre, it says ““This briefing is based on 11 days of research by Amnesty International at the refugee reception center in Hamdayet, eastern Sudan, in January 2021, as well as on numerous phone interviews with witnesses in Axum”.
Those are the words in the @amnesty report, not mine. So here are the conclusions we can make from that statement: First, no personnel or “investigators” from @Amnesty visited or saw first hand the city of Axum either shortly after the alleged 28-29 November “massacre” NOR
did they visit the “crime scene” before writing their report! They based an accusation of a massacre in one of the world’s holiest Christian cities on phone interviews! Not one photo, video, copy of text message, phone records of people calling for help or to report the incident.
